Happy Easter!

Saturday Jacob opted for an early nap and met up with Babcia for the Easter basket blessing and the Easter egg hunt.  The Easter basket blessing was beautifully done by Father Jacob and then the Easter egg hunt began.

Jacob thought these kids were crazy all picking things up off the ground and putting them in their bags and baskets, but he went ahead and picked a few pieces of candy out of the grass.  Of course Jacob could not be bothered to carry the basket.....that and picture taking was Mama's job.

After some walking, Jacob rested in the picnic area.

And then it happened......the Easter bunny left a Reese cup to warm in the sun and Jacob picked it up.  Of course it mushed in his hand and then got into his eye.  This is how Jacob looked after he and the Easter bunny tussled......the Easter bunny looked worse.  I guess Jacob is still allergic to peanut butter or at least Jacob's right eye is!

Happy Easter Sunday!  This year went to Mass at 6:30 AM and thank goodness we did because we heard the later services were beyond capacity.  6:30 is very doable for us since neither Jacob nor Katie understand the meaning of sleeping in......yet.

Kate looked so cute in the pink outfit Grammy got her and mostly slept her way through the day like a good baby.  She accessorized with her bunny hat and was so cute.  Jacob was a little more active, but he still looked handsome.  And Jacob was having an interesting hair day to go along with that puffy eye!  Of course we tamed the hair for church.
Once we got home, Jacob quickly caught on that someone (aka the Easter bunny) left a couple deliciously valuable M&Ms in each of his Easter eggs scattered throughout the house.  You better believe Jacob was on a chocolate fueled mission to find each of those eggs.  That Easter bunny must have felt bad about the peanut butter incident on Saturday.

After his appetizer of M&Ms, Jacob was ready to go to the annual breakfast at Babcia and Dziadzia's house.  We look forward to this meal all year and it never disappoints.  Jacob was mostly interested in the egg hunt especially the eggs with M&Ms and not all interested in the eggs with "paper" (money) inside.  Oh how quickly that will change.  Luckily Alex was there to handle all the eggs with "paper" and to help Jacob run off his chocolate frenzy......or maybe Alex was just there to push Jacob on the ride on toy.

Kate pretty much slept through everything, but did wake up for the important things like eating.  Next year she might need her own Easter basket to hunt those important M&M eggs.

The following week while at the mall, Jacob spotted some more eggs in the children's department display and opened them all to see if there was anything interesting inside.  They must have forgotten to include the M&Ms.  Jacob sure was comfortable among the mannequins, but he was a little under-dressed among his friends.
