Brett's Second Soggy Easter

This year we again braved the cold and rain at our church, Athey Creek, which met outdoors at Hillsboro Stadium. Last year, on Brett's first Easter, we met at Lewis & Clark, complete with high winds and freezing rain! Woohoo! This year was a tad bit more tropical...in the 50s, and just some sprinkles from above. Brett, however, stayed toasty-warm in a locker room with 20-or-so other toddlers. He promptly fell asleep on the ride home, and then refused to nap the rest of the day. Amazingly, he had plenty of spirit and spunk all day and night, despite the lack of sleep!

Grandma and Grandpa Brown visited for dinner and an indoor-egg-hunt. Even after a little practice with his buddy, Toby, Brett did not quite comprehend that his basket was for collecting eggs. He was much more interested in shaking the basket so eggs would fly all over the room.

We also got a little blast from the past as we watched an OLD video of mommy at her first Easter Egg hunt - a little older than Brett is now. So fun!

Side note: we have the wonderful Wright family to thank for the fact that Brett's play structure is finally assembled in the backyard! Thanks guys! Now we're just waiting for a sunny day to go break it in a bit.

Not exactly loving on the Easter Bunny

Mommy's first cookie bouquet!

Trying to get a picture of Brett's cute Easter outfit. The vest is custom handmade from Etsy, the shoes are from Grandma's last trip to China!

(Mama and Daddy would've been asleep too, had it not been for some scrumptious Dutch Bros. coffee!)

Good little Easter snack

Eating an Easter cookie, which he was supposed to decorate. I dubbed it "decorEATing"

Outdoor egg hunt with Toby

Hunting for eggs inside with Grandma...but really more interested in throwing the grass everywhere.


Yay, the play structure is done! Go daddies!


There needs to be a "No Girls Allowed" sign somewhere up here.
