Here are pictures from Easter.... (finally!) Sorry it took so long... so much to do, so little time! (Work is crazy, life is crazy! There just aren't enough hours in the day!)
Before church, we let him go ahead and get into Mommy and Daddy's Easter basket. As you can see, the first thing he goes for is a pink-colored candy-coated marshmallow thing wrapped in plastic.
He didn't want to let this piece of candy leave his hands. So to prevent a complete meltdown, I let him take it in the car with him. (I mean, it is wrapped in plastic, right? What could it hurt?) Well, he kept asking me to "open, open." I kept telling him "not now." Then it got really quiet in the backseat. I just kinda relished in the quiet for a minute but then my curiosity got the best of me... well, he had managed to get the candy out of its wrapper!! He had pink all over his face, all over his hands, and all over the collar of his brand new outfit!! Oh my gosh.
Yeah, I know what you're thinking: Don't you know better? Yeah, I really did. It just reinforced 2 things I already knew: 1) don't let a kid play with candy, wrapped or unwrapped if he is in a brand new outfit on the way to church and 2) don't buy brand new outfits for toddlers!! oh and, the big one: if it gets really quiet, then you know they are up to something!!! So that's our Easter story!

(Just look at that mischevious face)....
Then we headed over to my Mom's house after church and ate lunch with the family.
Ahh... the elusive family photo. This is rare!
This is Luke at the dinner table. He's playing with a "flower pot" napkin ring.
This is him opening Mimi's Easter basket... (really puts ours to shame)!

Mimi gave him 4 of the Backyardigans.... (one of his favorite shows)...
Poor thing... I think we wore him out!!
The day before Easter, we went to Chattanooga and spent the afternoon at the Tennessee Aquarium with The Tanners. He had so much fun!!!

This is the Nemo exhibit... Luke's favorite!
Sorry there aren't more (or better) pictures right now. Our camera is on the fritz and we are in the process of buying a new one. We haven't hardly taken many new pics since Christmas. (I know - I'm a horrible mom)!!
