Easter Sunday 2012

I already wrote a post about the Buckert Easter but that was on Saturday.  On Sunday we actually went to church - gasp!!!!  More than a week later and I am still proud of us for going.  Don't get me wrong - we love our church but lately it has been much easier to stay home in our little cocoon instead of venturing out on Sunday mornings.  But, we made it to church - a little early actually and our whole little family got to enjoy worship together.

Let me backtrack a little....we still laid around on Easter morning...we have been getting up pretty early around here lately so we had time to be lazy before we got ready to go.

my little boo-boo's cuddling together....love them!!!

I also attempted to make the pinterest-famous Resurrection Rolls.  I didn't really know how to explain the meaning of Easter to Colin but I figured I should at least try and these rolls were a part of my plan.  We made them and I messed up on something because the marshmallows leaked out on most of them. It was a cute idea and I will try again next year.  Mostly Colin was upset that the marshmallow disappeared and he is convinced Jesus was a girl - I think it's the long hair?  Again, I will try again next year.



Anyhow, like I said - we made it to church and managed to get a picture in front of the beautiful Easter cross.  This is one of my favorite traditions at our church on Easter.

After church we headed home to hunt Easter eggs and relax with my mom, dad, and brother.  At our house the Easter bunny came to visit after church this year and Colin was super excited.  How did the Easter bunny know he would love a super hero cape and a yo-yo?!?!

After he opened his 'happies' from the Easter bunny and hunted for eggs it was time to open up the goodies Grammie and Pappy brought over. 

We played some more and Colin showed off his super hero cape -- he takes this stuff very seriously as I am sure you can tell. He also played some cards with Grammie while we were all hanging out on the deck.

Toby (Uncle Doug's dog) took over Colin's playhouse for a little bit.  Then we dressed him up like a cowboy....poor dog.  :)  Then it was Colin's turn again - a cowboy superhero - you really can't get more powerful than that combination.

And let's not forget the confetti eggs...Colin must have cracked half of them on his own head and he made sure to get everyone else too.  There are still pieces of confetti floating around outside.  :)

I feel bad there aren't more pictures of little brother in this post but he was napping for the majority of our get together....church really tired him out.  :)  Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!!!!
