He is Risen, Indeed

Easter 2013

This year celebrating Easter was a little more special - I'm not sure why - but it was a great weekend ;-)

My mom had picked up a dye-kit for our first experience dying eggs as a family.  Cohen was just as excited as we were...until he wasn't. We gave him a plastic egg to play with because the hard-boiled ones were too fragile for his grasp.  Mom, me, Cohen and Patrick had fun with our vinegar and bright colors!

 See...my perfect child sometimes doesn't smile!

 Easter morning we woke up and played dress up.  I just think this bunny hat is toooooo cute!

 And I let him have one of my peeps.  We all know its not Easter without those yummy marshmallow bunnies....

We attended service at mom's church in Tulsa.  Cohen went down for the children's sermon time.  Mom always does this felt board story-time of the entire Easter story.  Cohen just sat on the edge of the pew looking and following.  It was the sweetest thing ever!

 The entire Havlik side of the family joined us.  We even managed to get Cohen to smile at the camera for us!

Patrick, Me, Audrey (and nephew!!), Dallas, Mom and Dad, Laura, Cohen and Drew!!

 He is Risen, He is risen, indeed!! My beautiful Easter family!! LOVE!!!

My baby in the lilies....before he may or may not have knocked them over :)

 We waited until after church to open Easter baskets.  I've already told some of our friends, but my parents still do Easter baskets for us.  I didn't take a picture, but Laura, Audrey, I and our respective spouses had these cute mini-baskets on the table Easter morning.  They had jelly beans and a couple of mints...still makes me smile.  However, Cohen's basket was...  Wait, Cohen's TWO baskets were overflowing.  Someone see the irony here?  Anyone else's 6 month old eat candy or need two baskets to celebrate Easter?  The blue one is from his Cici and Grandpa's Easter bunny while the brown basket is from his parents rabbit ;-)

I found this light-up Easter egg at Walgreens.  He loves it! 

The new shoes from his Easter basket...

 A closer look at his adorable outfit.  I found it on clearance on Etsy.  Love finding those deals!!

 Happy Easter from the Graftons!!

P.S. This picture is for my friend, Amanda, because I told her I had shoe jealousy a while back.  I swore once I lost most of my baby weight, I was getting a pair of the nude pumps that everyone else had while I was all swollen preggo.  So here they are!! I love them!!!
