Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! We had a very nice day together, though we did miss our family and friends very much. The day started early - we opted for 7:30am Mass since we figured it'd be less crowded (we were right). So that meant the crew was up at 6:15, which is very early for Jake (and Mom too). We were all dressed to the nines - both Jake and Daddy wore ties (yup, Jake tolerated the clip-on) and Mom even wore a dress (yikes!). Mass was very nice, and Jake was a superstart - he was SO well-behaved. The people around us even commented about how good he was. Then we went out for breakfast at Perkins, which was very nice. Jake came home and played with his toys from the Eater Bunny - he got a toy train, an airplane, and a lawnmower (which ultimately circulated through the apartment consistently all afternoon). Then it was naptime for Jake, and the Easter Bunny surprised Mommy with some coffee-flavored frozen custard (I gave up ice cream and cookies for Lent). When Jake got up we went on an Easter egg hunt (see pictures and video below). It was fantastic! The rest of the afternoon Mommy worked on cooking the ham and cheesy potatoes for dinner, which turned out pretty tasty. We watched a little golf, walked around outside (well, Jake and Daddy did while Mommy took a little rest), and watched the movie the Easter Bunny brought, "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh." Then it was bathtime and bedtime, both early as Jake was getting quite sleepy. I hope you enjoy the pictures and video, and I hope you all had a wonderful and blessed Easter!

Finding eggs!

Ooh, another one!

"Mommy, two eggs!"

(Sorry, for whatever reason I can't get this to go to the middle.)
