Flanagan Clan

This year I was definitely not prepared for Easter. In the past I’ve gone through great lengths to get a fancy dinner on the table, make up Easter baskets and decorate the house. This year I did pull out a few Easter items, like the wreath and Easter baskets, but everything else ended up being unused. On Easter morning I woke up a little later than I had hoped with a messy house, three dirty boys, and a dinner to make, but somehow it turned out in the end. Instead of the usual ham, scalloped potatoes and dilly beans we had a simple brunch including cinnamon rolls, a sausage, egg and potato breakfast scramble, fruit salad, and a few other things. For the first time since we were married jello eggs were not included in the menu. The boys had a blast with an indoor egg hunt (since it was raining outside), and they finished the day off being hopped up on sugar. Here are the pictures from our day!

Yay for Easter eggs!!!

Again, Sammy fills his cheeks like a hampster

It was actually funny because Andrew and Jonny found a way to prolong the Easter egg hunt and make it more fair to Sammy and Ethan. When the boys came down, Patrick was able to quickly fill his basket before the other boys could really get going. So, while Patrick wasn’t watching, Jonny and Andrew would sneak a few eggs out of Patrick’s basket and rehide them. It make the search for eggs a lot more fun for all the boys, but don’t tell Patrick what they did!!! 🙂
