Easter Day

So after Nicholas's injury at Lowe's on Saturday, we were hoping for a relaxing Easter Sunday. Nicholas woke up at 7 AM, quite early after not getting to sleep on time (he had a late nap due to his injury and being at the ER ). He was also very excited about the Easter Bunny coming. He got lots in his basket-- bubbles, a puzzle, chalk, and a kite, along with lots of candy (but he was only allowed a couple of pieces- the rest went in the closet!!) The Easter Bunny also hid lots of eggs for him to find. Aunt Annie bought him the They Might Be Giants DVD called "Here Come the 1-2-3's," because he is really into anything numbers and letters right now. He had to watch that right away. (Anyone with kids- you need this video and the A-B-C one. It is awesome and has great music.)

Inspecting his goodies.

Found one!

Eating one of his chocolate bunnies and saying "cheese" at the same time.

Chilling out with "They Might Be Giants."

Then it was off to church. And because it was a holiday, the nursery play area was not open for Nicholas to attend. So that meant bringing him to Mass with us. Nicholas was a bit cranky from the excitement and loss of sleep the day before, and it was quite the challenge for us trying to keep him quiet and still for over an hour. Then off to lunch we went. He wasn't happy at lunch either. Then he didn't nap. It was the crankiest day of Nicholas's life, although these pictures won't show it. I have learned that kids are not cranky until the day following an event. And stay out of their way, because when it hits, God help you.

Off to church (or is he going to Yale with that vest on??)

Saying "Happy Easter" to the baby.

To end the night, I was in the kitchen cleaning up not for more than 3 minutes while Nicholas was again watching his number video. I came in to check on him and this is what I found:

He has never fallen asleep on the couch or even in his highchair, even as a baby. Looks like Nicholas had enough, huh? HAPPY EASTER!!
