Sunday we got up and let the boys check out their Easter Baskets. Christian really enjoyed looking in his basket and Benjamins since Benjamin really couldn't get into his this year. :) We went to church for the first time as a family of 4. We have it down to about 2 hours to get the 4 of us ready to leave when we need to go out. (I don't think thats bad...hopefully we will get faster). Christian was excited to go to his class and of course we took Bejamin with us to the service. Benjamin did great- he stayed awake for praise and worship had a bottle and then fell asleep during preaching.
After church we headed to South Hill- about 1hr away to meet Aunt Rhonda, Uncle Jeff, Kayla, & Adian to have lunch at Cracker Barrel. It was yummy but when is Cracker Barrel not yummy? It was the first time Uncle Jeff got to see Benajmin- he was a good boy he slept through most of the meal- no treats for him this year maybe next Easter. When lunch was over we got in the van and headed back to our house with only Benjamin. Yep thats right we let our big boy go home to have some fun with his cousins- for A WHOLE WEEK (hopefully I will make it that long). Kayla and Aidan were so excited they are both out of school for the week so they will all get to play their little hearts out. When we called to talk to him last night he was having a blast just laughing and laughing. I know it will be good for him- I am sure he will be spolied rotten while Ed and I get a week to enjoy with Benjamin.
