Easter weekend did not go exactly how i had hoped. It rained all weekend so every hunt we had planned on going to was canceled, Michael worked and I could not think of anything to get Kane for his Easter basket. I thought about taking Kane to see the Easter bunny but quickly remembered how much he disliked Santa! I was the Scrooge of Easter this year. Everything "big" i could think of getting Kane was off limits because the movers have been paid and inventory has already been taken. He didn't need little toys, candy or clothes. Truth be told, I had been talking to a lady on Etsy about making stickers for his camo water bottle and his lap desk but 2 weeks before Easter she was MIA. (I'm STILL waiting for her to get back to me) Anyways, you get the picture. Besides, the reason for Easter has nothing to do with gifts.
The evening before I managed to get a little creative so we went and bought the Easter bunny some carrots and laid them outside. I was hoping by some miracle I would snap out of my funk but Easter just isn't the same when you are flying solo.
Thank you Meredith for the sweet Easter gifts for Kane! You rock!
how awesome is this shirt? LOVE! thank you lulu!!
Kane got the biggest kick out of the little boy on the box. He kept on petting him!

Michael made it home in time for the 11 o'clock church service Sunday morning so we all got dressed and went. I was so thankful for that. When he is post call you never know what time he will be home so it was a nice surprise. Kane was so good in the service. He was the perfect little gentleman. After church we went to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch.
I got Kane this tie last year and i was so excited he could finally wear it. Too bad he would not sit still for a picture! (yep, he was rocking his cowboy boots)

I'm so glad to know that I'm not alone in my thoughts about huge Easter gifts! However, that 4 wheeler is pretty awesome:) Don't feel bad about the slinky either, Jackson didn't get much more than that from me! His grandparents and aunts did all the spoiling this year.
ReplyDeleteLove Kane's tie and puddle jumping, so fun!
Totally agree with your thoughts on Easter too!! We didn't get big gifts growing up either. Just candy, stickers, little things. That is the way we do Easter baskets at our house now too. Otherwise I think kids start to think that the meaning of the holiday is to only get toys! ... LOVE the pics of Kane in his tie, he is so cute!! So happy you guys will be back in Texas so soon!! xo
ReplyDeleteOh & PS- LOVE the new blog design!! So fun and bright!! :)
ReplyDeleteI feel the exact same way! When I saw some of the gifts other mom's were getting their kids, I was appalled! I remember getting candy and one gift, like a movie or CD when I was growing up.
