Easter Blessings and a Happy, Happy Birthday!

Happy Easter from the Carsons!
 
We soaked up some family time this past weekend celebrating Easter and my Mom's birthday.  It had been a couple months since we saw B and the boys so we were all so excited to share some time together.  We had such a fun weekend making sugar cookies, dyeing Easter eggs, playing outside, and just loving being together as a family.  Logan helped Aunt Ashley make a birthday cake for Nana too!  Here are some pictures of our weekend.
Love this picture of Logan with Nana!
 
And the finished product... Logan was so proud and LOVED his cookies.
Aiden was napping during our cookie making but once he was up, it was time for some outside fun.
Josh absolutely adores these boys and the ages they are at.  J and Logan had some fun playing baseball.


And those silly boys also did some of this... spinning.  They thought Uncle Josh was pretty awesome and their giggles were so precious.
Next up... dyeing Easter eggs!  It is tradition in our family that not only does everyone present pick out the color for their egg but we also call those that cannot be with us and get their color requests as well.  So yes, my brother in South Carolina got a phone call so Logan could dye their eggs.  
We laugh but we all love it and Easter just wouldn't be the same!
Logan got a Curious George Easter book from Nana that came with stickers to decorate your eggs so of course we all got a little bit of Curious George on our eggs this year.
In the middle of our Easter fun we also celebrated the birthday of someone extra special, our Mom. We are so thankful for everything Mom has taught us, especially the importance of family.  We are blessed beyond measure.  Words truly cannot describe the incredible Mom, Nana, and friend she is.  We love you Mom!
 After church and a fabulous lunch on Easter Sunday, the boys enjoyed their egg hunt outside before the bad weather moved in and I snagged a couple pictures of Brandon with his little guys. Aiden is a "cheeser".
Excuse our lovely hair ... it was a little windy!
We hope you had a wonderful Easter with those you love!
