Easter 2014

Playing with his new Easter gifts. Of course everything goes straight into his mouth.

We did the traditional Easter of waking up and going downstairs to see what the Easter Bunny had brought, but this time we had a little one to make the whole scenario magical and new! Austin got all sorts of fun chew toys and bath toys since he chews on everything and bath time is his favorite time of day. That Easter Bunny sure is smart ;). He looked soooooooo adorable in his little bunny ears and we tried so hard to snap a picture of him wearing them but he absolutely hates things on his head and kept ripping them off as soon as we'd put them on him. We were lucky though and got a few good ones.

He got his first experience with bubbles that morning which was a total hit! He was so in awe of them and wasn't sure if he wanted to touch them or just look at them float down onto his head.



lovin' the bubbles

And of course Mom and Dad got a basket of their own.... it wasn't supposed to be so grandiose and full of so much sugar but Dad went a little overboard as he always does :). The flowers were the perfect touch though. They make the room so happy!



Okay, now it's REALLY time to hit the gym!

We went to sacrament but Austin wasn't cooperating very well which was a tell tale sign of how the rest of our day was going to be. I think we wore him out at the family party the day before and he still hadn't recovered. We left after sacrament and met up with Grandma Helm and Sadie at the Conductor's Room at the Railroad Pass for a delicious Easter Dinner but sadly it was kind of a let down in a lot of ways :(. For one, Austin was being such a turkey and we all had our hands full trying to keep him quiet and entertained so we didn't bother the other people. Then, it took them 11/2 hours to bring out our food and by that time, Austin had had it! So to my dismay, I had to take him back to Grandma's house and try to put him down for a nap while everyone else got to enjoy their food. They were nice enough to bring home dessert for me though :). And of course Austin never took his nap! The second we walked through the doorway to Grandma's house he suddenly got his second wind and was all over the place! It was a whole new world to explore and he wasn't going to sleep through it!



Playing on the floor with Aunt Sadie. He is so in love with her!




He loved the toys Grandma had out for him, but wanted to get into the adult stuff more! I had my work cut out for me trying to keep him out of everything.




being the center of attention, as always




BUBBLES!! I love how chubby he looks here! hehe




And more bubbles :).

 Overall, Easter was fun but very tiring. Even though it was nice to see family, we were happy to go home and relax for a while. We took some pictures of our little family all dressed up in our Easter best on my nice camera but I haven't even looked at them yet so that will have to go onto the next post. Happy Easter!
