Happy Easter! Easter started on Saturday afternoon for us when Josh and I helped dye his first Easter eggs. We did it outside on the patio because of course, there were a few spills. But he thought it was a lot of fun and so blue fingers and spilled dye was worth it. Then on Saturday night I went to Easter Vigil Mass with my parents. It was my first Easter Vigil lead by candlelight and I thought it was pretty neat. Josh stayed home with Aaron since the mass was past his bed time and anyway - a 2 year old at mass? Not so much.
Since I got home late on Saturday, I went to bed right away and set my alarm for 6:30 am so I could wake up and put the pot roast to cook. Yeah...... too bad my brain didn't want to wait for the alarm because I woke up at 4:30 am, then again at 5:00 am. I figured the universe was trying to tell me to get the heck up so I rolled out of bed and worked on the pot roast. Around 6:30 am I was back in bed. I didn't fully go back to sleep, but I did get a bit of rest in before Aaron woke up at 8 am.
Tia Eva was the first one over on Sunday and she brought Aaron live ladybugs so that he could release them! He was pretty impressed and enjoyed trying to pick them up (though he unfortunately squashed a few before Josh came and picked him up!). The whole Coblentz Family came over for Easter (mom & dad, Eva, Natalie & her fiance Meg) and we all enjoyed a yummy lunch. Everyone brought something and we all savored everything. Except Aaron. He just wanted a PB&J! LOL. And he got it.
After lunch we had the Easter Bunny (Natalie & Meg) hide the eggs and then we took Aaron out to hunt for Easter eggs for the first time. At first he was like "Wha???" but by the 3rd egg he was totally into it. Even after he found the last egg, he still wanted to look for more. But when he came inside he found the basket & gifts the Easter Bunny (all of us) left for him. Toys, coloring books, gummies, an Easter book, crayons, all natural treats and ONE chocolate covered marshmallow egg. His first. He loooooves him some chocolate. So he ate all the chocolate off the top half of the egg and then he was done with it. I was sort of glad because we don't really give him candy. I figure he eats enough junk already, he doesn't need to add candy to that!

The rest of the day we just spend relaxing and enjoying each others company. It was a lovely Easter. It's so nice to be able to watch Aaron really enjoy and comprehend something new. New experiences and familiar faces. That's a good combination I'd say.
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter as well!
