Our Easter morning started at 6:19 am with both kids waking up at about the same time. Ajax immediately remembered it was Easter and took off in search of his basket, which was under his desk in the living room. We all had to help Noomi locate her basket which was in a cabinet in the kitchen. The kids got some candy and small toys in their baskets along with playdoh and bathtub colors. They also received these plates and silverware that were in the shapes of construction tractors and garden fairies from their way cool Aunt Theresa and Uncle Tim.
We tried to get some decent photos of the kids before heading to Dearborn, but they were both hyped up on the sugar and then we were demanding they both sit still and smile. It was all around rough. The car drive into town was equally rough due to the aforementioned sugar overload and then being strapped into a car seat for over an hour. When we got to my grandpa Naders the kids forgot they were hyper and clung to Dave and I acting extremely shy. It took them quite a while to warm up. Ajax did ask where great aunt Norm was, but my mom explained she was in heaven and he seemed ok with that. I had been concerned that he would wonder about Aunt Norm so we had discussed her passing a few times leading up to Easter so he wasn’t surprised when we got there.
After running wild for a few hours outside and visiting with family we loaded the kids back into the car and headed home. It was 70 and sunny so when we got home we all ended up playing outside and enjoying the warm weather. Bed time was a bit rough as everyone was way overtired. It took an hour to settle both kids down for the night and I’m hoping Noomi sleeps through the night.
I like this first photo because this is the face Noomi makes when you ask her to smile. I totally remember went through this phase of learning how to smile lol.
