Easter Weekend

What a way to start an Easter post, huh? We had this on Nathan on Saturday. Darci, a friend of Matt's from Iowa, found this super cute Eagles jacket at a yard sale...brand new! It's sized at 24 months, but why not wear it now! It actually fits him pretty well.

Our family went to the Easter service on Saturday night. Woodmen is usually packed out on Easter Sunday, so they requested that regular attendees who could, to go to a Saturday service time or at 7am on Sunday. We didn't know if we could swing the early Sunday service, so we opted for Saturday night! Right before service we skyped with Dad & Mom Witt, Grandpa & Grandma Johhson, Mark & Rosie, and Nicole & Courtney. They were all at Matt's parent's house in Indiana. So I took a few pictures of Nathan while Matt was setting things up.


Aren't his lips funny here? He makes me laugh!

Warning: if you are not into Nathan pictures, this is probably not the post for you! :)





Saturday night after a great service and a snowy exit! Matt wanted to take a picture of Nathan's first budget meeting. We were going through receipts, putting them in the budget. Nathan was so funny crinkling up and playing with the trash pile.


Easter Morning! Since we went to church the night before, we slept in, made breakfast and enjoyed Easter baskets before heading over to our friend's, Craig & Mandi's for dinner. Here's Nathan with his loot.


He's pretty excited!


First, tackling Grandma & Grandpa Witt's basket.

Oooh. A tag. Who cares about what's in it!

Oh, there's a book in here!


The basket doesn't go on your head, Nathan!

Here's a video of Nathan opening this basket.

And more of the basket on his head because I'm his mom, and I think he is cute.


What a yummy Easter book.


And a Taxi and Gerber Graduates puffs from Pappy and Grandma Liz!


Oh, yum. I like these.

Oh yeah, Daddy & Mommy got him a hammer. It's great fun for us. He still prefers to chew it. I'm sure it will show up in pictures to come.

Family breakfast. Thanks daddy!


What? Apple cinnamon puffs when you guys get bacon?

Just kidding. Actually, I love these.

I just can't keep them on my tray.


Out to the deck for some family pictures!




Daddy and his boy


I really like to eat my shoe


Terrible lighting on the ones with mommy, but we'll go with it anyway! And check out that face! ha ha.






Taxi time.








Oh yeah! Nathan learned to clap today! I have been doing it with him for awhile, but he liked to keep his patties closed. Today, he decided to open them all on his own. Then he enjoyed the sound and kept doing it. So cute. Check the video out here. He waved today on cue as well. But no video of that, sorry.

We read Nathan the "What is Easter" book before bed. It was a great story! Thanks, Grandma Witt. Unfortunately, it didn't put him to sleep. :) But daddy came and rescued him from the couch and took him back to bed with him. I haven't heard a peep in awhile. I'm betting they are both fast asleep. I better go put Nathan in his crib. I know it's not a good habit to start but I'm betting they look adorable. I'm off to go look at them! And hooray for being up to date with the blog. Hope you all enjoyed. And I hope you had a blessed Easter! HE IS RISEN!
