Mr. Bunny came to visit

For a month now Jett has been anticipating the arrival of "Mr. Bunny with my gun that goes peeww." He was very inquisitive as to how this whole Easter Bunny thing works. He asked where the Easter Bunny lives, what he looks like, and if he has a car to get to all the little kids houses. All very good questions that I was scrabbling to find answers for. The night before the big arrival of "Mr. Bunny" Jett then decided that maybe he didn't want a Bunny hopping around his house and perhaps running into him at some point. I assured him that "Mr. Bunny" was only there to get the job done. In the end "Mr. Bunny" did get the job done and put smiles on everyone's face, including my own.

There is nothing cuter than dressing up in our new Easter outfits for church. So cute!
Jett was most excited about his new sandals that he even wore to bed the night before.

Coloring Easter eggs with my little boy brought back such great memories. The dozens and dozens of eggs my Grandma Elaine boiled for the eventual coloring to come. The perfectly color coordinated cups for each color we had to choose from to color our eggs. The stickers, the crayons, the diapers (for baby eggs of course). And last, but certainly not least, the millions of great places for the Easter Bunny to hide the many beautifully colored eggs! Truly, Easter was a magical time at Grandma Elaine's house. It still is one of my favorite holidays. Now making those magical memories for my boys has brought that magic back to me.

The Easter Bunny did a great job, if I do say so myself!

Sawyer ignored the mower, the ball, and book. He went straight for the candy! Finding those Easter eggs with the candy in them was his favorite part.

Jett of course loved all the presents, including Sawyer's. He especially loved the gun. A gun of Rhett's that he had when he was a little boy, so cute. Jett had to shoot all the eggs before he would pick them up after finding them. He shot everything in sight all day. Dad showed him the right technique for shooting accurately. The aiming, breathing slowly, closing one eye (Great! Another hunter!) All the instructions Jett took very seriously as you can see in the clip. He now sleeps with the gun and pretty much everything in our house now, is dead. What am I teaching my kid???

I am looking forward to the many more Easter eggs to be boiled, colored, stickered, and diapered! Let it be known Brother, Sisters, and Cousins; Those color coordinated cups are Mine!
