Easter Celebrations

We had a great weekend celebrating Easter. We had a few nice days with some sunshine so we decided to take advantage of it. We had an Easter egg hunt on Friday for the kids. It was fun to see each one of them take off and hunt down the eggs. Julia was so excited and would run to collect them and run back to her seat to see what was inside. Caleb was to busy to hunt down eggs because all he wanted was candy. Kate would run by all the eggs until she found the perfect one. And Jane was so cute....her first egg hunt. It was fun to see her. She would haul her basket everywhere in search for the eggs and then when she finally got one she would shake it to death to see what was inside. She didn't want to see what was inside she just wanted to find the eggs and shake them. Christian and I sat together and watched all the fun.

Sunday was an eventful day. Woke up and Julia found her basket with some cute surprises and then she hunted down the candy the bunny left for her. Then we all got ready to go to church. Julia was so excited to put on her new Easter dress. Before church, it was still sunny outside so we grabbed a few pictures and they went surprisingly well. No one complained or cried. Then off to church to listen to a wonder choir program for Easter. Julia did well in Primary so that's always a plus and she told me they talked about Jesus.

Easter surprises!

Dinner at my parents for Easter was chaotic as usual with all the crazy kids. We tried to get all the kids to sit and get some pictures but you know how that goes.....craziness ensues! Someone was always moving, or crying, or not smiling. So its tough but we try our best to make it work. The girls were so cute in their matching dresses this year. And the boys were so handsome as well! Dinner was great especially because I didn't have to cook but also for the company!
