Easter Celebrations...

Its been a while since I have blogged...this pregnancy is taking a toll on me...I am just so exhausted and still a little sick...but it is getting better!! With that said...here is our long, lost blog of Easter 2011. It is a long one...we actually had quite the celebrations! This past weekend, we went to Champaign and got a chance to visit with some of my college friends as well as our family in Peoria...those pictures will come soon...hopefully sooner than these did!!

So...here is what we were up to for Easter...
Brayden's Godfather came to visit the weekend before Easter. It was so nice to visit with him...and he helped us dye Easter Eggs...






Before we headed to southern Illinois for Easter...the bunny made a stop here...Brayden enjoyed all his goodies in his basket...


Meeting the bunny at Breakfast...

And no....he does not like the bunny!!!

On Friday, we went to Easter Breakfast with the bunny...and with some of my great friends from home. It was so good to see them and catch up...and celebrate Addison's 1st Birthday a little early...but as you can see from the above photos, Brayden was not a fan of the bunny!!! However, after breakfast, he chased him around...but would only get close enough to touch him for a quick second and then run!

Baby Gym

Walking the beam...I think he must have taken secret lessons from his sitter's gymnast daughters...he was quite good at it!

Hanging out with Great Grandpa, enjoying some of his delicious Easter cookies...


Grandma brought me a huge art bin filled with all sorts of goodies...

Saturday, we headed to Eckert's for some Easter festivities. Here are some pictures from the event...and even with all the rain it was fun and still warmer than Chicago!!!
Icing and eating a cookie with daddy...

Bunny Love...


Looking at the baby chicks...he did not want to hold these!!

Ready to hunt!!!

Once Brayden got the hang out it...he was a professional egg hunter!!! It was so fun watching him hunt for eggs for the first time!



Planting a green bean seed with grandma...we left it with her, in hopes that her green thumb will get it growing for us!
