Easter 2015

We had a week long Easter celebration.  It started with Max, Luke and Kristin coming to visit us for a few days.  The boys were on spring break and we are so thankful they decided to spend their week with us.  Owen was waiting at the door for their arrival...

 And when they finally got here this is what happened....

It was wrestle mania for three straight days and everyone was in pure heaven.  The boys had movie nights in the basement...

 And slumber parties in Owen's room each night...

 They went fishing at the pond across the street....

 And we explored the Children's Museum... 

Owen took some guitar lessons from Max...

 Grayson enjoyed reading with Auntie Nene...

And we even got to spend some time with this special lady - our GG....

 We had so much fun and my boys were devastated when it was time to say goodbye.

After Max and Luke left it was time to get ready for the UK game.  UK played Wisconsin in the final four game of March Madness the night before Easter.  Our friend Christian came in town from California and Brian and Lauren came to watch the CATS continue through the tournament with an undefeated record - or so we thought.  The boys were into the games and they cheered for the CATs at home...

While we went out on the town and left them with a new babysitter.

I did not get any pictures from this night but it went like this - we were very excited to see fellow UK fans and cheer for the CATS, we had high expectations that they would win.  Actually none of us really questioned that it was even possible they would lose in the final four.  UK was pretty much down the entire game, and we were watching with a ton of Wisconsin fans (which I really don't understand), whom were loud and obnoxious.  We were pretty disappointed to see them lose - but no one was more displeased than Christian who spent a lot of money to come for the experience.

Anyways, we were out super late and the next morning was Easter.  I knew the boys would be excited that the Easter bunny had come.  So I drug myself out of bed at 6AM after about 4 1/2 hours of sleep to prepare for this special day.

I made myself a strong cup of this...

And I might of even added a bit of this...

Just so I could be up to see these happy faces..

Then the Drapp family came in town and we all went to church...

 We pretty much didn't hear one bit of the homily because we were busy keep up with these busy boys...

Once we got home they were ready for their Easter egg hunt...

Grayson had to see what big brother got...

 And take what big brother got....

 Overall we had a great Easter week and we were all exhausted after everyone left.  Our small family including Christian took a long nap before we said our goodbyes to Christian at the airport.  I hope you all are enjoying this nice spring weather and had a great Easter week just like we did.
