Easter Festivities

I love Easter. I love the thought of spring and spring colors and fun spring things. This Easter was no different. Here is a little (big) glimpse of our fun from Easter weekend!

1. Beautiful flowers from Todd's Grandpa Glen - thanks, Glen!  They are gorgeous!  2. Admiring Kate's VERY pink Easter egg  3. Brett & Kate are posing with their finished eggs  4. All of the bright fun colors, ready to go.  Kate and I were ready, but the boys were no where to be found!  5. Kate was really concentrating - she only wanted part of that egg to be yellow.  6. Brett was more interested in using stickers rather than colors.  7. The eggs were ready.  Kate was restless, so I showed her how to shrink-wrap one of the eggs while we were waiting for the boys to get home.  8. Milkshaker concentrating hard, too.  Must get it just right.  Can't imagine where he gets that from?!  9. More pretty colors.  10. Todd, Grandma, and the kids, posing with the Easter flowers from Grandpa Glen.

This was the scene at our house Easter morning - E. Bunny leaves a clue.  The child goes to find the next clue and a small gift, and so on until they finally find their Easter basket.  This year, Brett could easily read all of his own clues!  Next year Kate will be able to do it too.  Does this mean I get to sleep til 10am?!  Some how, I doubt it!  1. Kate found some of her new pajamas in her play kitchen!  2. The kids posing with the baskets they'd just found.  3. Checking to see where his breakfast is  4. Stopping to read a clue.  5. Brett and one of his clues from "E. Bunny"

After mass with Grandma and Grandpa, we headed over to Memere and Poppy's house for more Easter hunting and a delicious brunch.  1. Sisters!  2. Family  3. Kate has this down pat now - go hunt for presents!  4. Brett is on a mission to find his loot!  5. Aunt Erin and Uncle Jeff  6. Memere and Poppy with the grandkids  7. Just the boys  8. Just the girls  9. Kate showing off her manicure  10. Still looking for their goods ;)

Our last stop of the day was Grandma & Grandpa's house for Easter dinner, but not until we did our last egg hunt of the day.  1. Kate found her basket  2. Grandma and I enjoyed an adult beverage after the egg hunt was done!  3-6. Hunting for their eggs  7. Brett and his basket  8. Kate waiting to start her hunt  9. Brett found another egg  10.  I'm not sure what was so exciting, but his face here cracks me up.  11. No day at G&G's would be complete without a game of soccer
