They weren't sure what the headphones were for, but when we showed them how you could connect them to the ipad then hear the movie in the headphones, they were excited.
There was time for a few games of marble bowling before breakfast. My parents picked up the marble shooter and wooden bowling pins at the marble store, and my dad built this cool box to contain the game. The boys have so much fun with this, and did well taking turns.
After breakfast, we got ready for church and headed outside for a few pictures with the promise of jelly beans for good smiles.
Liam wanted to sit on Karsten's lap which caused everyone to dissolve in a fit of giggles.
By the time we did group shots, the boys were getting tired of smiling and the promise of jelly beans was not compelling enough.
We still managed to get a few good shots although the smils were a bit forced.
Then we were off to church. We went about 30 minutes before mass started since it gets so crowded, thankfully we don't have to go as early as we do at Christmas. The boys did a great job being quiet which is always a gamble at church.
While we were gone at church, the Easter bunny finally made it to Grandma and Papa's house to hide eggs.
The Easter bunny hid Lego mini figures in a few special eggs.
It's a beautiful Easter day and we're so thankful for getting to spend it together!
The mini figures were a hit!
There was a slight moment of panic when Liam discovered his third mini-figure when Karsten hadn't found his third one yet.
Then they played with the mini figures for quite a while. See all of those little pieces? Each mini figure had five pieces - a hat or hair, a head, body, pants and an accessory. When the Easter bunny was building six of these guys at the Lego store, I found it to be quite overwhelming. So, as kids built mini-figures and abandoned them when their parents told them it was time to leave, I may have claimed their mini-figures as my own. They were gone and not coming back, and I figured if they liked the guy, then my boys would as well!
Since they were so good at church, the boys got to open their present from Grandma and Papa rather than waiting until later in the day as originally planned.
Legos, Pez and candy - what a fun present!
Papa mentioned that the marble run would be a great place to build Legos since they would be confined. The boys took that as an invitation to get started immediately. It was a nice activity for an Easter afternoon. I may have dozed off for a few minutes while the Legos were being built.
