Happy (day before) Easter!

Happy Easter morning! While I'm type this, Liam is happily chasing around Ripley and she's chasing him back, he's still in his pajamas with his hair a crazy mess, we made waffles together this morning and half of his second one is still on his plate - pretty good compared to last week! This weekend it's Todd who's sick in bed, well he just appeared but he says it's to eat so he can take medicine :( I guess it's a good thing all the festivities took place yesterday. I guess it's our new tradition to have our big Easter dinner and egg hunt on the Saturday before Easter, so today we basically have no plans except to give Liam his basket and then head to church. Here are a few pictures of the fun yesterday...

McConnel cousins (except Liam is the only McConnel in name :)

Todd is explaining the rules, while Liam is taking advantage of Lincoln being distracted :)

And they're off!

He doesn't understand that he needs to keep looking and not stop to open them as he finds them

He just cares about the CANDY! (Ugh, too much candy) Off on his own.

Grandma came to join him, and to let him eat his candy...

Egg race!

He didn't win, but had fun doing it with all the big kids.

It was a beautiful day, even warm in sun, just in time! We had a delicious meal and lots of fun afterward with everybody hanging around outside - what a great way to celebrate this holiday!
