Easter Weekend

After we got back from Hawaii on Thursday, Abuelita and Grandaddy Vick came for Easter weekend, which we were so excited for. It was great for Jake since he had been with them for the week and just seen them the day before and he was so comfortable with them all weekend. Our neighborhood had an Easter egg hunt on Saturday morning. We let Jake get a couple of eggs before it started since he really wouldn't be able to participate. There were crowds of children and THOUSANDS of eggs which were gone in less than 5 minutes.
There were some eggs with money in it. The kids quickly went through each egg looking for the lucky money, which no one around us found. Here's Jake with some of the empty eggs. I think he's actually playing with the tape from the egg, of course:
We found the Easter bunny and were anxious to see how Jake would do. He wasn't fazed at all, in fact, he went right for the bunny's face and body. We couldn't get him to look for a picture, he was too mesmerized by the bunny.
After the egg hunt, Wesley and my dad went to Home Depot for some things and got me a new faucet. Ours was beyond annoying and made washing dishes so hard. My back ached all the time. So here's Wesley putting the faucet in and Jake helping:
Just checking to make sure everything is in order! (Nope, no plumber's crack! I bet you checked, too)
This is by far the CUTEST outfit ever! Ella (Clint and Kara's baby) was so cute with her little easter shirt and pants with ducks on it. She looked adorable!
While my mom and I went shopping, my dad took Jake on a walk. I think we all enjoyed our time, my mom and I at Target for over an hour just perusing each aisle, and Jake, who fell asleep on his walk with grandaddy.We loved having my parents here, they were a lot of fun!
You might think that Jake is patting Ella's back or comforting her... NOPE. He typically just goes for her face or tries to grab her, which I'm sure he was doing in this picture. I'm so excited that they'll be in the same nursery class, though. THey'll, hopefully become good friends!
Uncle Clint (Wesley's brother, if you can't tell) with Jake and Ella. Clint is by far Jake's favorite. And he was a bit bothered that he had to share Clint, he wanted him all to himself. It's so cute how much he likes him!
So that was our weekend. I didn't get ANY pictures on Sunday, what's wrong with me? Well, next year... or I can just have us wear our outfits again next week and take another picture.

I finally checked out your blog. Looks like you guys had a great time in Hawaii. It's always nice to be able to take a break and enjoy the beach.

I love that first picture--did he SWIM to his Easter eggs? He is just so handsome--how do you stand it? (Good luck ever having to discipline a face like that!)
