Pre-Easter

I'm a bit behind, but what's new?  Here's a quick rundown of what we were up to prior to Easter:

Poppy and Cissy visited and brought a boatload of stuff for the boys.  Literally.

Miller had Easter parties at school.  Poor Jacob had to be woken up from his naps to party with big brother two days.
 
Once we got there he enjoyed people watching though.
 Checking out their loot from the egg hunt!
 For party day number two, we were in charge of cupcakes.  Miller was excited to put the eggs on top.

The weekend before Easter, Pop and Gran came to visit.

I didn't get any pictures, but this year we started Resurrection Eggs two weeks before Easter.  Every night after dinner, Miller would get to open one of the eggs and we'd tell a snipet of the Easter story.  We will definitely do this every year as it got Miller excited about the days leading up to Easter and gave us opportunities to teach him the meaning of Easter a little at a time. 

Miller's Wednesday night teachers from church, Ms. Jackie & Mimsy, surprised all of the kids in their class with this:
 

On Good Friday, we had several friends come over to play.

On the Saturday before Easter, we had a picnic at the park as a family and enjoyed the beautiful weather.
Ok, all caught up!  Next stop...Easter!
