Cole's first chocolate bunny. He went for it first thing and the teeth marks are precious. We did take it away after a minute (a pound of fudge-filled bunny all at once would have made the day too insane!)
Cole opening his eggs and eating them as he goes
Happy Easter everyobdy! What a great day!(We don't have pictures of Cole in his Easter shirt - He'd be thrilled to stay in his jammies all the time! By the time we got his church clothes on we were out the door! After his nap he ate without his shirt, so - oh well! :) He did look cute!)
Easter Sunday was a really nice day! The weekend had been busy and it was kindof nice to have a bit of a relaxing day.
We got up in the morning and Cole had slept until almost 9! So great! He and Dad checked out what the Easter Bunny left and when Cole figured it out, he was really excited! (We’d been to an egg hunt earlier in the week and he figured out that eggs have candy!) So great! I think he may have been a little disappointed that only 2 of his eggs had “Nems” (M&Ms) in them and the others had fruit snacks and animal crackers. Ty and I were glad though because as he opened each egg, he ate its’ entire contents (all before breakfast, of course). :)
Ty got a homemade chocolate bunny and an egg with a backrub coupon. :) I know – but poor people have poor ways. :) The Easter Bunny lost the Frisbee she’d been saving for a couple months… when it surfaces it will be fun! :)
After going after a whole chocolate bunny (which mean Mom and Dad had to rescue before he was entirely consumed and devouring all his eggs, Cole was really excited to find out that the Easter Bunny had left him a train! Cole LOVES trains. He’s pretty obsessed with Uncle Trent’s train in UT, so we were really excited for him to have one of his own. He and Dad put it together and played while Mom made breakfast. (I love moments like this!)
We had waffles and strawberries for breakfast, which Cole thankfully seemed to really like. :) (The more he likes his food, the less it ends up on the floor and the longer he stays happy at church.) :)
After a fun and sortof relaxing morning (due to the fact that everyone who wanted a showe actually got one - an amazing phonomenon for Sunday mornings at our house), we got all dressed and ran out the door to church. The primary sang in sacrament meeting and did a great job! I was glad when it was over! :) The kids were pretty good the rest of the day but you could tell the Easter Bunny hadn’t missed anybody – talk about sugar hype!
After church, Cole took a good long nap, Tyler studied and I made dinner. We’d invited a med school friend whose wife is out of town to eat with us, but the upcoming test (Monday morning - so MEAN) had everybody a little busy with studying, so we ate alone. I think this is the first real Sunday dinner I’ve ever cooked for just my family. Usually we eat pretty simply (and I serve out of pots and pans to save dishes). I wanted it to be special, so I did it like my mom or Grandma would have (except the tablecloth... just can't go for that one with Cole around). It was a lot of work to do it alone, but to mu suprise, a lot of fun! It was nice to have a little taste of home. (This is the first time I’ve made real mashed potatoes since I’ve been married – my poor deprived husband!) We had pork roast, potatoes, gravy, corn, broccoli and salad. It was really yummy and Cole even ate quite a bit! Tyler and Cole said really nice prayers for dinner too and it was special to hear them thank Heavenly Father for our savior.
Ty spent a lot of time studying and a lot of time with the family. I have such a wonderful husband! He made the day really nice! Thanks Ty for all you do for our family!

Sounds like a fun Easter. The story of Cole eating the treats in the eggs right away reminded me of my Kaylee at that age. I had to laugh. It's just so cute, that it makes it hard to stop them.
I am so glad you made so many posts. It looks like you've been doing some fun things! Hannah is reading this with me and keeps giving Cole kisses and screaming. Cole is so cute and is growing up so much!
