easter weekend {recap}

What a great weekend. Like most, our weekend was filled with egg hunts, easter baskets, way too much candy, yummy food, family and most importantly- remembering that our Savior lives and loves us. Yesterday morning, after Beck found his hidden eggs and tore through his easter basket, I found myself wanting to help him understand why we were even celebrating this holiday. Obviously, there's not much he can understand at 1 1/2, but I ended up simply telling him that Jesus loves him and that's why we celebrate easter. It was a little learning moment for myself as I thought about that simple principle. Ultimately everything comes down to our Savior's love for us. So simple, yet so profound.

My mother-in-law always goes all out for holidays and this year didn't dissappoint. These cute cousins were so excited to hunt for the eggs!

Beck caught on to egg hunting real quick. He loved running around and would yell "EGG!" as soon as he saw one. I was surprised when he knew to put them straight into his basket. Just when he thought things couldn't get any better, we went inside to unveil the contents of the eggs- "canny!" (candy).

He was obsessed with the plastic eggs all weekend. He didn't even care if they had anything in them.

Part of the easter festivities included "International Kite Day". Beck thought he was so cool for "flying" the kite- holding onto the tail pulling Mimi behind him.

Of course, Easter wouldn't be complete with out an easter outfit photo op. I may be a tad biased, but this little guy could not be cuter!
