easter.

what? easter was a week ago? no way. good thing i can change the schedule on posting this so that it'll look like i did it somewhat close to easter. 

to start off our easter weekend, levi broke our car. well, he changed our oil friday night, and then the car started gushing oil when we turned it on, so we had to get it towed to toyota from our house. levi looked super cool telling the tow truck driver that he changed the oil and now he can't drive it haha so we rented a car and drove up saturday morning. turns out, we had a faulty oil filer from amazon. curse you. 

zak was absolutely thrilled to get a new car to drive. unfortunately for him, he didn't get to keep it, he loves his gadgets. especially push start engines. and navigation. his mom loves some gadgets too. someday.....

anyways. easter was great. we went to the beach house again, and it was lover-ly. we spent saturday relaxing, eating, sleeping, and getting away. it was so nice to be able to relax. 

saturday night, we watched the rise of the guardians and zak was in heaven. he loved the easter bunny, and is convinced that he can talk to him. 

sunday we woke up and found that the raccoons had snatched all of the eggs the easter bunny hid. well, they left the eggs, and ate all the candy out of them. zak was not impressed. luckily for him, the easter bunny hid a lot of eggs inside too in case it rained. but he is the easter egg master finder. 

the easter bunny brought zak puzzles, matching games, candy, dump trucks. he loved it. he loves matching games. and he's creepily good at them. loveesssss them. 

 greysen got an ipad and remote in his easter basket. he was very very excited. 

starting a new tradition, because mom and dad love presents too, the easter bunny brought dad the hobbit in his easter basket, and shoes in mom's. he knows us so well. 

after opening our baskets and eating candy and donuts for breakfast, we went to church and enjoyed it. i spent a few scripture readings the last month talking to zak about the real meaning of easter, and love that he understood what i was talking about, even though the easter bunny is a little more cool than the resurrection. but that's ok, at least he gives me the right answers when i ask him why we celebrate easter. 

 i am a giant. 

we had the most delicious easter dinner. prime rib, potatoes. nom nom nom. looking at this picture, i could eat it all over again. 

greysen liked our dinner too. haha. 

 all in all it was a very successful easter. i love being able to spend time with our family and have our own traditions that we get to continue every year.
