Easter 2014

We had such a wonderful Easter this year!  Pearce got to go to 4 Easter egg hunts and they were all so much fun!  Our first one was at a park with bounce houses, a petting zoo, snow cones, and the Easter Bunny.  I made the mistake of telling Pearce that all the eggs had candy in them and it was TORTURE having to wait until they gave the signal to go get the eggs!  As soon as they said go, Pearce got one egg, sat down, and opened it to eat the candy :)  I got him a few more.  He had so much fun though!  We went to Dallas to celebrate Easter and Pearce was so excited to see Nay Nay and Charlotte!  As soon as we got there, they played and played.  Nathan and Charlotte are sooooo sweet to Pearce, I just love seeing them together.  Nathan is just like a big brother to Pearce.  Pearce will do ANYTHING Nay Nay tells him.  I found myself telling Nathan things like "Tell Pearce to come eat" "Tell Pearce to let me brush his teeth" "Tell Pearce to get in the car" Hahaha!!!  Nathan is seriously such a big help to me!  I'm actually going to have Nathan come stay with me a few days this summer to help me with potty training!  Pearce got to experience his first movie at the theater with Nathan, Charlotte, Ash, and Mama.  We went to see "Bears."  We got all the kids the snack pack with popcorn, candy, and a drink.  Pearce did pretty well for the first part and then started getting a little antsy, so Mama said she would take him home.  But, when Charlotte saw that Mama and Pearce were leaving, she decided to go too....so just me and Ash and Nathan stayed for the rest of the movie :)  It was a good practice run!  Saturday, we went to another Easter egg hunt and it was huge!  Petting zoo, bounce house, face painting, balloon animals, the Easter Bunny, hot dogs...it was so much fun.  That evening we were ready to color eggs!  Pearce had so much fun putting his eggs in the coloring cups and mixing it around.  Their hands were totally dyed and I wondered if they were going to have dyed hands for church!  Luckily it all came off with a long bath.  Pearce was pretty sad when there were no more eggs to be colored :(  We baked another bunny cake that evening and had a great dinner thanks to Ash!  Sunday morning, Charlotte went with me to wake up Pearce and to see what the Easter Bunny left them.  Pearce got a little bunny, Mr. Potato Head, and a Toy Story coloring book, plus some chocolate.  He said "Oh wow!" when he saw the coloring book.  We then got dressed for church and I was so excited to see Pearce in his little bow tie I got him.  Oh man, he looked so cute!  Wayne kept calling him "Professor" and "Dr. Jones" :)  Nathan and Charlotte look so adorable, too!  Nathan actually wore Wayne's Easter tie from when Wayne was a little boy.  He looked like such a little man!  When we got to church, Ashley and I went to drop the kids off in the nursery and Nathan was so excited to drop off Pearce.  I was so afraid Pearce would start crying, but he didn't!  Nathan got to go to big church with us.  He was really excited about that...for about the first 10 minutes, then he got really antsy, but he pulled through and the service was really amazing!  When we got home, we had another egg hunt at Ashley's house and once again, as soon as Pearce picked up his first egg, he just wanted to sit down and start eating the candy out of it :)  We had such a fun weekend in Dallas being with family.  Pearce was asleep about 15 minutes into our drive home.  Thank you for hosting us Ash....we miss all of you!!
