Easter: Part 2

For me, Sunday was by far our best Easter as a family to date!

It may have been that we started the gorgeous day bright and early with Church at 8:00 and could focus on the reason we celebrate Easter.

It probably had to do with me getting to coordinate TWO little boys Easter outfits, a task I get a little too excited about! Remember, it was just last year where I realized the way to accessorize with boys are ties, and I must say, I’ve gone a little overboard. Nevertheless, I need to enjoy it while it lasts because I’m sure there will come a day when my boys have an opinion about the cheesy, but oh so cute, things I put them!

It also probably had to do with the mini Easter Egg Hung we had for the first time in our backyard for our kids. That for me is one of the things that I will remember years down the road when I think about this house. It’s priceless. Austin was such a great hider of eggs, Dax was a wonderful hunter for eggs and Wyatt was, well, a perfect eater of eggs. I just sat back and watched grinning from ear to ear.

It may have been that the Easter Bunny hit the nail on the head by bringing the boys sand buckets, shovels, swim trunks, Bolt and lots and lots of treats. He even visited Austin and I!

It could have had a little to do with the time we spent in the afternoon at the park where I actually managed to get a few pictures of the boys. They may be silly, but definitely seemed to capture their personalities and what fun these two are.

It may have been that we went the total non-traditional route for our Easter dinner and started cooking a pork roast at 11:30 Saturday night to allow the 16 hours of cook time in the crock pot. The results? Our very own Café Rio Pork Barbacoa Salad with a homemade Creamy Tomatillo Salad Dressing. My sister forward me the recipe from a top secret source and can I just tell you, I felt like I was back in American Fork minus my winter coat. It was scrumptious!

All in all, a perfect day. We hope everyone had as happy of an Easter as our family!!

I love their outfits! Oh I can't wait to shop ties! Your boys will be a tough act to follow. THey're stinkin adorable! I love that you've got brown/tan Dax, and toehead/white Wyatt! If I had my way, I would put Joe in either of those shirt and tie combinations. Maybe I should just borrow those outfits too! :)

Those are the most darling outfits. I love the arm over the shoulder look in their sweet lil' ties --looking a bit ruffled up from playing. So cute:)

Darling boys. I am a sucker for church clothes on boys too. I guess its a nice change from just a t-shirt and cargos that they wear every day. :) Looking forward to pics of your cruise!
