Happy (late) Easter!

Easter was actually an entire week ago and I am just now getting around to posting about it,, but again I am going to use the baby-card (how long is that good for?) Brandon is now 8 weeks old and still has yet to put himself on anything resembling some sort of daily routine. He eats whenever he wants for however long he wants and I am along for the ride. I thought he had finally figured out his nights - 3 nights in a row he slept for 6 hours straight! Until I decided to brag about it to people and then BAM! The last two nights he has been up every 2-3 hours. That'll teach me to brag about my kid. 

Easter Sunday was so much fun over here. The three of us woke up in bed together and then went out to see what the Easter bunny brought for Brandon!

I know it's a tiny bit ridiculous to put together an Easter basket for a 7 week old baby, but to be honest it was more for me than him - I'm not embarrassed to admit that ;) The basket was from Pottery Barn Kids, it has his name embroidered on it and it can be reused every year so no money wasted there. And the pictures I got out of it are priceless in my opinion <3

 Then we went to church for Easter service where Brandon received extensive compliments on his green bow-tie; and I loved hearing people in the congregation chuckle whenever he would grunt or fart during the service =)

 

After churh our families came over for Easter brunch. We had mimosas, bloody mary's, iced coffee, fruit skewers, quiche, cinnamon rolls, chicken salad, ham, croissants, cake and cupcakes,, Mmm Mmm Mmm!

If anyone was wondering how the fruit skewers on Pinterest turn out in real life, this is it.

 

And there was absolutely no way I was letting Brandon's first Easter sail by without a themed photo shoot. I have limited years where he (and Aaron) will allow me to do this. I intend on making good use =)

But by far the best part about this Easter was the fact that both of my brothers were able to fly into town and meet their nephew for the first time! Andrew and Kay were able to stay for a whole week while Ian was only here for a little over 24 hours. It was so fun to see them all with their nephew and have the whole family together!

  I know this post was picture-overload, but when it comes to keeping memories, why skimp?

This was definitely an Easter for the books and I am soo looking forward to next year when Brandon will be more interactive and OMG I just realized he will be old enough to do an Easter egg hunt.
