Easter Celebrations

Spring is here and with that came Easter.  We had a few weeks of fun activities with the kids. 
Our first one was CCU's Easter Egg Hunt that we have attended for the past 4 years.  This year we invited Kallie to come join us.  The boys were so elated to have her along.  Other than the egg hunt, there were lots of games and inflatables to enjoy. 



Silas' first chocolate of the Easter season, he's hooked!

Star Wars t-shirts from Aunt Mo and Uncle Jon
Dying Easter eggs...
turned into a science experiment.
Easter morning baskets! Ready for baseball season
And swim lessons!
First tasting of Peeps!

Of course, we had to include a Lego set.  These were a mini set that took minutes to build.  They are getting too good.  
Hid over 50 eggs in the house for the boys to find.  I told Matt the night before he was hiding them too easy...well, I was wrong...it was hard enough for them.
Easter breakfast at the French Press in our neighborhood.  The boys working on puzzles(one of their fav things to do) and looking cute in their ties(worn by Matt and Uncle Jon).
Our church, The Sanctuary Downtown. What a glorious day!
Silas looking sharp!
Aunt Mo and Uncle Jon joined us at church.
Silas, Asher, and Jonas posing for the camera.  I love the light shining through the stain glass behind.  Reminds me of God's light is always near.
Here's the link for our Easter sermon...losing my religion
Family photo on Easter day in front of the church.
Drove down to Grandmom's house for the rest of the day.  Jonas sporting his tie with a tshirt at the fancy table. Grandmom made a smashing Peter Rabbit meal and a bunny carrot cake for dessert(a tradition in the Helton family).  A tradition that I will continue forever.
Playing baseball with the Aunts, Uncles, and Daddo! Jonas has started baseball season this week(stay tune for that posting)
Break for an outside Easter egg hunt

Back to playing baseball.  A good way to wear off the sugar high in the boys.  They were nutty!
Silas is hitting the ball now.
Jonas continues to improve
Homerun!
May the promise of Easter fill your heart with peace and joy!
