Here Comes Peter Cottontail!

Best. Easter. Ever! We had so much fun this year. Holidays have always sucked because they are all centered around children. I mean, think about it.

Easter...you get to watch everybody else's children dress up in adorable clothes, dye eggs, and dive into Easter egg hunts.

Mother's and Father's Day...We love and celebrate our parents, but the infertile ultimately dreads these two holidays. I remember laying in bed two years ago crying allllll day...four months after our miscarriage. Ultimate suckage. Thanks Hallmark.

Fourth of July...that one was cool. I just drowned myself in my sorrows all day. Until it was time to pack the kids up and go downtown to watch firewor...oh wait.

Halloween...Answering the door for two hours to adorable little princesses and mutant ninja turtles, along with watching their parents stand on the sidewalk admiring their brood is not my idea of fun. Most of the time we would just plan a getaway and boycott Halloween. Self preservation.

Thanksgiving...Food. Alcohol. Giving thanks for your family. Check! Giving thanks for your childre...oh wait.

Christmas...Celebrating Jesus is pretty awesome, but when it came to that whole watching everyone else's children sit on Santa's lap and open presents Christmas morning...did someone say alcohol?

I'm pretty sure these two little munchkins saved me from alcoholism...lol. All kidding aside, we are truly blessed this Easter and can't wait to celebrate every flippin' holiday like it will be our last. We can't wait to see everything through their eyes...life is so much more fun with children!

Last week's checkup went well...Anderson is up to 7-9 and Baney is 9-14...ouch! They are so alert now and starting to coo when we talk to them. Baney even rolled over during tummy time...hoping that was a fluke or we're in trouble!

Oh, and they fart. Like...a lot.

Visiting the Easter Bunny!


They can't get enough...

Talking to Mmmie K!
The Easter Bunny came to give mommy & daddy some chocolate. Sorry!

Baney cracks me up with that serious look he's always sporting! Might be a namesake trait! Lol!

I can only imagine how much better the holidays are now for you. I'm so glad that your boys are thriving. Baney is getting to be a porker, cute one.

I wish we could get our boys together for a play date!!! In some pictures they look a bit alike. Glad you are enjoying yourself. I agree it was well worth the wait. I just wish everything would slow down!!
