So I'm a bit behind in posting this...sorry. It's been a busy week :) 
We had the kids' Easter baskets and outfits laid out so they would see them as soon as they got up.
I'm pretty sure Leah didn't notice hers...
...but when Eli came out he noticed his right away. As I was taking this picture I noticed giant red spots all over his face. He got eaten alive by a mosquito in the night...lovely. He looked like he had gotten in a fight. Oh well...
I don't think he realized there was candy in the eggs. There were some cars hidden in the grass, though, and he played with those that morning while we got ready. (pretty sure I ate all the candy) That boys loves his cars...

Jennifer took this picture for us...but Eli was working on, um...well...we had to take a break from pictures to have a little diaper change...
While he was getting a diaper change, Leah and I got some pictures taken :)
Eli's buddy Olivia.
I'm thinking this is a pretty typical family shot when you have a 2 year old...
After church we headed to Abuela's house. Eli fell asleep on the way there and slept through lunch. He got up and still looked dashing in his suit :)
I couldn't pick my favorite...so here are a bunch of Leah.
She really enjoyed the ribbons on her dress...eating them, that is...
Sticking her tongue out at mommy :)
Yes, this is the dress I made for her :) I made a skirt for myself out of the same material...but I don't have a good picture of that skirt. It wasn't nearly as 'ruffle-y' as Leah's :)
The cousins :) Eric & Leilani couldn't make it, so Isaac wasn't there :(
Eli wasn't too thrilled about taking this picture either. I think by that point he was tired of pictures, and tired of being in long-sleeves. It was fairly warm out.
So he got out of his church clothes and played in the water table at Abuela's house for pretty much the rest of the afternoon. He LOVED it. (And he did have a shirt on at one point, but it got soaked.)
Abuela making Leah laugh.
Eli even had a car for the water table :)
I'm not sure why I found this so funny...but Edgar was explaining something to Eliott and needed this sketch thing to do it...

This Easter season has been so wonderful. It has been so amazing teaching Eli about Jesus and what He did on the cross for us. Our prayer is that we will daily seek to serve and love God more faithfully and raise children that live in the light of His resurrection.
