Don't the boys look nice all matching? Lots of people at church remarked at how nice they all looked. We even got Calder to wear his clip-on tie so he matched Dad and Phaelen. He still doesn't trust me to put it on since I pinched him once or twice like 2 years ago putting one on him. I am going to get those zipper ties ones or real ones before we leave Utah.
The boys enjoyed their Easter goodies. I ran in the house after we got home from church to set it all up and Calder was super excited, like usual. I love how excited he gets (because you know he doesn't get that trait from me). Phaelen didn't get any candy but he got some new tasty baby snacks and a fun chewable book. Calder got some new paint, an egg he picked out a few days before with Car movie stickers inside and jelly beans, plus a crazy fast bunny tricycle jelly bean toy (Thanks Grandma Kathy for sending those). And of course we all got the traditional Reese's carrots we all love but are getting harder and harder to find every year. Maybe we'll just "make" our own next year.
Dessert was our family's assigned contribution to the Barnum-Barnum-Johnson Easter meal. This was my 4 layer masterpiece that quickly slumped over and was put into a deep clear bowl and then served. I was so upset, but another lesson learned with my "masterpiece" cakes attempt. It was two cake mixes, white and chocolate, with vanilla pudding mixed in to make it more sponge-y and then some vanilla pudding/whipped cream filler and lime juice sugared sliced strawberries. I even froze it in intervals but I guess not enough because it "melted" and fell over in the last stages of assembly. It was super good still! We had tons of fun at Garrett & Kricket's and thanks for the extra toys and candy Brian & April. We love spending time with you guys!
