Curtis & Co.: Easter celebrations!

We had a wonderful Easter celebration and we celebrated quite a bit! We also had the opportunity to have Bobby, Heather and the kids come in town, in addition to having tia Marthi here too!

As for church, the kids did pretty well at Palm Sunday. Although, half way through they thought they could get away with a little more having Vovo there. On Easter Sunday, Vovo went early to church, so it was just us and Bobby, Heather, & kids. The kids did pretty well...perhaps it was due to also knowing there was an Easter egg hunt at Vovo's house on the line; if they didn't do a good job, then they may not get to participate!

Ava and Alex were very fortunate to have so many Easter egg hunts as part of our Easter celebrations. They got to go to one in our neighborhood, the weekend before Easter, then another at school during the week, and then finally at Vovo's house. By then, Alex was quite an expert at what to do and was getting quite the loot of candy-filled eggs!

At our neighborhood egg hunt, the kids had a blast!! It was a fairly chilly morning for April, but still well worth going to the park. It's always nice to meet more neighbors and really just have that community feel.

Ava was so excited to sit on the miniature horse - she had no fear. Alex, on the other hand, had no desire to get very close to the horse...it was still a little too big for him!

Alex was happy to go looking for eggs with Daddy, but was missing the point at first about getting to keep the eggs in his basket. He just liked pointing them out.

Ava loved the idea of going on a pony carriage ride...

and look who decided to join us! Alex got a little braver after watching us for a bit. :)

I do believe that Alex remembered the goats from last year, and was wondering if they remembered him too...

"Hey goats! Remember last year when I was kicking your bumbum while we took a picture?"

Alex also thought the ducks and chickens in the petting zoo were great!

Such a funny and happy little guy!

For Easter Sunday, we had beautiful warm weather... well sort of warm weather - the kids thought it was warm enough to get in the pool, though the water was freezing!!! They didn't care though, the idea of getting to strip down to their underwear and splash in the pool was enough to keep them warm.
