Easter at the Niebuhrs


































After Easter bunny presents, we got dressed and went to church on Easter morning. They were not so good during church, Brian ended up being out with Xander while he threw a gigantic fit during almost all of church (I was occupied with my choir). So, it was not such a good morning.
After a so-so afternoon nap, we went to Dale and Ellen's for dinner and an egg hunt. They also were the ones responsible for the big trucks and wagon. They had played with those big trucks at their children's museum class and loved them! So, Ellen went ahead and bought them. They all do like the trucks, but none of us could have predicted how much they would love that stupid wagon and boy have they fought over it! I have to threaten them to get them to share. A timer has only sort of worked, Xander cries everytime it's not his turn. Will likes it, but is equally happy to play with a truck. We may have to invest in another wagon. They also had an egg hunt (three middle pictures are action shots of it). They were able to find most of the eggs with a little help. Mostly they just all wanted to push the wagon around. Dinner was yummy and dessert was yummier. We were all exhausted when we got home and they slept well that night. The top three pictures are of them in their cute Easter outfits, coordinating but not matching this year. No family picture this year, they were in a bad mood and it was hard enough to get them all to stand still for those pictures (no smiles, either). I decided not to push them into a family picture, I was tired of their whining and crying and bad attitudes. Two year olds are certainly a challenge! Hopefully I'll have "good, happy attitude" news to post next week. Hope everyone had a pleasant Easter.
