Happy Easter!!

The night before Easter, Connor got ready for bed and declared that he was going to fall asleep as fast as possible so that when we woke up in the morning it would be Easter.  Then he asked me if it was all right for him to wake everyone up early.  After some negotiations, we settled on no sooner than 6:00 AM.  Of course, he woke up at 4:00, but he let the rest of us sleep until 6:00.  And by the time he woke us up, he was really ready for his basket and to hunt for all the eggs.

The boys each got a new squirt gun in their basket.

Well, that escalated quickly.

My mom sent some Star Wars chocolate eggs with figures from the movie Rogue One inside.

No, no one knows what happened to their legs.  Also, before we realized that they were supposed to be Star Wars figurines, and only the Captain Cassian figurine had been discovered, we were trying to make sense of him in terms of Easter.  I mean, it's not obvious that he is from Star Wars.  And thus, Machine Gun Jesus was born and made a part of our Easter celebrations this year.

For the record, the kid's memory verses sound a lot funnier when a machine-gun-wielding Jesus is pretending to say them.

Also, according to Lex, in the battle between Darth Vader and Machine Gun Jesus, Machine Gun Jesus is the winner.

Of course, we also had plenty of candy and Pokemon cards.

Lex actually lost another tooth while eating jelly beans!  

That's two teeth in one Easter weekend.

All I want for Easter is my two front teeth.

The Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny are taking it in turns to visit our house this weekend.

Happy Easter!!
