Happy Easter!!

Months ago when Tate came home from the hospital, I set Easter as his "Hello World" date.  Meaning his first big introduction to the family and the world outside our house.  And we made it.  In January, April 24th seemed like soooo far away...and in some ways it was, but the last month has gone by really fast.  Must be the warmer weather!  Until last week, Tate had only been to my mom's house once and to church once to help set up for my Dad's birthday party.  Last week he went to March for Babies and then got to go to a Bunco Baby shower with me.  A few days later, of course, he starts running a fever.  He ran a fever for about 2 days and is congested still.  So going to Easter at my Gammy's was again up in the air...but we went.  And all had a good time.  Tate just took everything in.  He had a lot of people to meet! 

Here are some pics from our day:
 

Hudson's golf Easter basket.

My grass centerpiece.  Hudson and I started growing this grass (from seed) over a month ago.  All so I could put some Easter eggs on it as a table centerpiece.  Well, Hudson wouldn't share his plastic Easter eggs with me...and I was only allowed to use his real Easter eggs for about 30 seconds to take this picture (while he carefully supervised).  So my centerpiece never happened, but we did have fun planting the seed, watering it with our spray bottle and giving it a "haircut" a couple of times.  Trying to decide what to do with it now...

Our Resurrection Rolls....Hudson helped me make these Sunday morning...they are empty, just  like Jesus' tomb!  Not sure Hudson really understood the correlation, but he had a great time helping me put the marshmallows inside before we baked them.

My boys and I!  Don't they look handsome in their matching ties?  Hudson was pretty excited about wearing his just like Daddy!

The whole family...minus Chase, he was on call and had to leave during the middle of picture taking...and right before we ate and he missed the Easter egg hunt :(

Some of the entertainment for the afternoon....Hudson fell off the back and got drug a little ways before he finally let go (or Garret stopped, not sure which it was), so Jamie made hime a seat belt.

Needs a little tune up...

Hudson on his first date.  (This is my sister's niece, so my sister's husband's brother's daughter - got that?) Her name's Clara. Hudson might have given her a little whiplash with his driving but she didn't seem to mind.

Jamie's Easter Egg.  Chase hid the eggs this year and he put Jamie's in the rain barrel.
