Easter Week Visitors Part 2
Gamma, Big Poppa, and Cricket arrived on Wednesday night before Easter. They made it just in time for the boys Easter celebration at school. They started with an egg hunt on the playground. It went fast!
After the egg hunt we headed to the classroom for the celebration and lunch party. Please note the personality of the my Eli in the classroom. Hysterical.
Everyone signed up to bring a few things for the Easter lunch. It's always so cute to see them in their environment.
Eli had been super fussy at dinner Wednesday night and then again on Thursday they were both just not themselves. I told Justin they hadn't acted like this "since the last time they were sick." Appointment made and after school Beckett went home to nap and Eli went to the doctor. Diagnosis sinus infection.
Both of my boys were under the weather so they got a special treat for dinner. Easter pancakes... they loved them!
On Friday I took Beckett to the doctor after a cranky night on Thursday night and he also got an antibiotic. We were getting those boys back on the road to feeling good and being my happy boys again.
They couldn't wait to show me their finished products. Minus the one they each ate for lunch.
On Saturday morning the boys got their Easter basket surprises from Gamma and Poppa when mommy and daddy got home from the doctor. Yep. 4 copays. 4 antibiotics. We are all so much better!!
They were so excited (and starting to feel lots better) to run to their room and see what was in there.
Then we headed out to the back porch to play with our new bubbles and toys. Lots of giggling happening here.
On Saturday night we had our Easter. Our church has a 5pm Easter service and we chose to attend that service so Poppy and Gamma could get on the road on Sunday early. It also freed us up to serve on Sunday morning. We did our official Easter clothes and photos on Saturday night. They could not have been sweeter or cuter. Or happier at church (they had cupcakes!!)
And at church..
The service was great and the message powerful. It was extra special to have family here to celebrate the Good News (a day early ).

I was in Walmart the week before and realized that the boys have never dyed eggs. I thought it would be so fun for them and picked up some supplies. They LOVED it. LOVED it. In fact, Easter is over and they still are asking every day to dye eggs.
