Easter 2010 - AKA, We Should Have Known

It started off well enough.... we dyed eggs the day before. We got the baskets ready. We went for a long sunny walk....

Easter morning.... Please note in how many pics and activities James is wearing his new Buzz Lightyear wings.

I know, I know....

Looking for eggs WITH the wings.

Easter gifts from Oma and Opa!

and then James took a nap and THAT'S when we should have known....

... that he was getting sick.

This is an egg hunt we did in the courtyard with our friends the Derbenwicks and their kids. About three minutes after this pic, James walked up to me, started crying, and said "Mommy, I feel bad."

Sure enough, a 102 temp and a bad tummy.

But, in typical James fashion, he pounded some Tylenol, took a cool bath and got right back in the game.

These are custom cookies my amazing friend Susannah made. Each kid had their name on a cookie and she designed some as Easter eggs.

Molly and Max had a little thing going that night. He just loved to carry her around (like this) and she was just enamored with him. James was very confused why HIS friend Max would want anything to do with Molly.....

And they ended the night with a game they invented down in the playroom called "getting our exercise." It mostly involved jumping on the couch, really improving the quality of that pullout bed..... you're welcome future guests!
