Easter

EASTER MORNING
Since we don't have church until 1:00, we had a nice relaxing and fun filled Easter morning. Coop was excited about his Easter basket and of course went straight for the new Cars book that has a magnadoodle connected to it.
 
After Cooper looked at everything in his basket I set up some egg dying stuff for him, koolaid, markers, tape and glitter, and stickers. He loved the blue koolaid the best and dropped most of the eggs in there. While he was busy with that I made bunny cinnamon rolls and then after breakfast we all went out to enjoy the sunshine and let Coop try out his new sidewalk chalk.
He took a good nap, and I made inside out carrot cupcakes for my Grandma's, Ry went to teach our lesson because Coop was still sleeping and we met him for a nice Easter sacrament meeting.

Right after sacrament we went up to my grandparents for a delicious Easter dinner. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and the grass was starting to green, I remember most Easters the grass is still brown and sometimes we even have snow so this was a wonderful change. Marcus was in North Dakota but we did get a few Easter sibling pictures. Coop did not want to leave the swing, Abby and Mareesa hid eggs for the little kids and Coop could have cared less, he just wanted to swing ("thwing") the entire time. It was a battle to have him come in to eat dinner and the second he was done wanted to go right back outside.

The little ones hunted eggs and surprisingly Coop has gotten very good at finding them. After the egg hunt Mareesa, Kirsten and Andrea walked down to the park with the kids and Ry, my mom and I went down shortly after to see how they were doing.

Coop with two of his favorite things: dirt and swings, and of course uncle Kaid and Daddy.

Your Easter outfit is fab. Cooper is so grown up! He's only- what, 3 months older than Piper?- but he seems like he's eons ahead of her developmentally. First child (plus a good mommy). Piper's getting the shaft a little bit with my attention divided. Also, in the post below I LOVE Nana sitting right next to Cooper 24/7. It's so cute!! And do you guys have Sacrament meeting last? That's crazy but must be so nice because toddlers can actually get a nap!!
PS- Only 3 more days!
