Easter Weekend

Easter was so fun this year! When you dream of having kids, you think about Santa Claus and Easter Egg hunts and all the other fun things that come along with Holidays! Patrick was so fun to watch and I enjoyed every second of it (maybe more than he did)! It was an exhausting weekend, but so worth it!

We started off the weekend by going to the Eggstravaganzoo at the Zoo on Saturday. We went to the first egg hunt for kids 2 and under. Patrick loved looking at the other kids. We were glad we went to the first hunt because the line to get in the zoo was crazy when we left! We heard on the news that 12,000 people attended!

Ready for the Egg hunt

Hunting for eggs

Oops, they both found one at once. The little girl was really sweet and noticed that Patrick didn't have any eggs, so she let him have that one

Patrick decided that he was happy with his one egg and didn't want to hunt for any more

Then we went to see the Giraffe's since those are Patrick's favorite.

The giraffe came right up to us!

Patrick loved it!

Michael and I had an engagement party to go to that night, so Patrick went to Nana and Grumps house to dye Easter eggs with his aunts and uncles.

We had planned to go to church at 7:30 on Easter morning, but Patrick had so much fun at Nana and Grumps house the night before that he didn't go to bed until 11pm and then he was too tired to sleep and was up from 1-4am! So he slept in until 9 and we missed both Easter services at our church that morning. I love the Easter service, so we were disappointed we couldn't take Patrick.

After we woke up and got ready we went to see what the Easter bunny brought Patrick. The Easter basket is Michael's Easter basket from when he was growing up.

The eggs at the Zoo didn't have anything in them so Patrick was shocked when he shook the Easter egg and heard something inside.

My favorite! Yogurt melts!

Then we headed to brunch at Belle Meade with the Whitson's. Patrick was a little cranky when he was sitting in the high chair so we spent most of our time playing outside at Belle Meade instead of eating the yummy brunch

Playing on the putting green (which I know is a no-no, but he was probably the lightest kid out there :) )





He had fun pulling the flag in and out of the hole



Apparently Michael stuck his tongue out a lot when he was little and Patrick does it a lot too

Then we went home for a nap and Patrick woke up just in time to make it to the Belle Meade Easter egg hunt

Patrick found two Easter eggs and was perfectly content with those two eggs. He sat on the ground and had no desire to find any more.

Then we went over to the Mulloy's for another Easter egg hunt. He had so much fun at this Easter egg hunt because half of the eggs had goldfish in them. He opened the eggs that had cars in them and seemed a little disappointed. It cracked me up that he only wanted the eggs with goldfish :)

He pointed at each egg before going to get it

Since we missed the morning church services at our church, we decided to go to 6:30pm church at the hospital. Patrick stayed with Nana and Grumps while Michael and I went to church. It was actually kind of nice to be able to listen and not worry about a noisy baby during church!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!
