Easter 2012!

This is a shot from April 3rd as a sort of bonus. Did you ever wonder how a little two-year-old could take up 90% of the bed? Mystery solved!

April 8th, and we got a package from Aunt Jill! See this image larger.

There was a card! See this image larger.

Nina got a fluffy bunny and a sucker! See this image larger.

And Ian got an alligator! See this image larger.

Look out! See this image larger.

Soon it was time to dress up and head out to church!

Too bad this one was blurry, but we got some other shots of Nina with her cute hat on!

As we’re leaving church!

There was cuteness and anticipation in the air! See this image larger.

*Pardon me, would you like to read some literature about Jesus?* See this image larger.

When we got home, Grampa Dave and Gramma Marcia had hoppity-hop hopped over from Southgate – it was Easter Egg Huntin’ time!

Ooh here’s one! See this image larger.

And another! See this image larger.

Got one! See this image larger.

Oooh I bet this is a good one! See this image larger.

Ian still lights up like a lightbulb during this activity, which is awesome. See this image larger.

Good to see that little boy show up from time-to-time! See this image larger.

The hunt continues! See this image larger.

This was hilarious… we worked our way to the backyard, and suddenly the eggs got much, much bigger! See this image larger.

How’d that happen? See this image larger.

Almost perfect picture… if only I could have leaned a bit and caught Nina in there too! See this image larger.

Treasure in tow, Nina heads back to the house to get a better looksy! See this image larger.

That’s a heavy bag! See this image larger.

THERE’S CANDY IN THESE, NINA! AND STICKERS AND MICKY MOUSE!!! See this image larger.

Thank you, Grampa Dave and Gramma Marcia, for taking this lovely shot of the four of us!! See this image larger.

An upside-down shot, just for kicks! See this image larger.

Grampa Dave, Gramma Marcia and the kids shell out the grins! See this image larger.

We love you guys! Thanks for the Easter Egg Hunt! We know that takes a lot of extra work, you’re awesome! See this image larger.

Nina looking cute, but it might be time to switch into something more casual! See this image larger.

Having fun with a toy that Grampa and Gramma brought!

Ian got a cool R2-D2 microscope! See this image larger.

How’s this work, Grampa? (I ask Grampa Dave the same thing all the time, but I call him Dad!) See this image larger.

Bunny! See this image larger.

Grampa Dave reads Ian a book about the solar system! See this image larger.

Nina shows Gramma Marcia her fridge! *This is the freezer. Keeps stuff cold. Like seriously cold.* See this image larger.

Ian lookin’ cute in his dress-up shirt! See this image larger.

Diggin’ through some legos! See this image larger.

This book with a cut-out allows us to see how much Nina enjoys being read to! See this image larger.

Grampa Dave and Ian meet up in a tunnel!

We had great fun with Grampa and Gramma, thanks so much for making the trip! (Here, Nina uses a toy as a makeshift healing machine, checking each of my toes. Um… thanks?)

The boys next door and Ian go for a spin! See this image larger.

What a beautiful boy he is! See this image larger.
