This was such an enjoyable holiday.  We were able to celebrate it in Louisville at my parents house and with lots of other family. 

David and I went around some stores the day before to fill Max’s easter basket.  That was my favorite part—Shopping, of course—and I was appreciative that David found interest in going along. 

It was hard to find candy for a one year old, so we filed the basket mostly with toys (who needs all that candy junk anyway!)  Yes, that is a blow up carrot.

Even though he’s way too old, I got David an easter basket too.  He loves gummies so it was mostly filed with that, along with a UK NCAA Championship shirt and UK coca-cola cans.  I threw in some lotto ticket scratch offs but they were all losers (obviously—otherwise I’d have a lot more excitement to write about!)

 When we were kids, my sisters, cousins, and I had matching wooden easter baskets.  This year we found some on Etsy that were similar so my mom ordered, like, 20 of them.  We painted them ourselves.  It is sentimental that Max’s basket is so similar to mine as a kid. 

I was in charge of dessert.  I made a strawberry ice cream pie, and a bunny chocolate chip cookie cake. 

And of course, we had an easter egg “hunt.”  It wasn’t until today in the car that I noticed my granny put money in them!  Mommy bought herself a treat from McDs drivethru with the spare change!! (No, it didn’t go to Max’s college fund…)

Great holiday, great people.  Here is Max and Daddy…….

We had a great holiday saturday.  Grandma was in town and Daddy was off work—even more reasons to celebrate!

We spent the gorgeous day at the PARK! 

after the park we got a special shamrock shake from mcdonalds.  you can almost see him drool………..

and we ended the day with a special dinner— green eggs (no ham!), kiwi, brocolli, and green milk. 

I love holidays because it’s just fun to do silly and special things for the heck of it’s a holiday and to dress up in a holiday shirt—this one from Etsy.
