Easter

Easter was beautiful this year! I was so skeptical considering it was so early in the year, but we had our warmest Easter ever. It made it so nice for the multiple egg hunts and spring activities.
Our first event was an egg hunt Cheri put on in our backyard for all of her nieces and nephews. My kids had so much fun playing with all of these new friends! When it was time for the "hunt," we let the little girls go first, added a second round of older kids, and then a third round for the oldest. Roman joined in at the very end because he was too busy playing at Cheri's house! They each got at least 12 eggs and they were all packed with goodies...let the treat eating begin!

The next day was our annual neighborhood egg hunt at the soccer field around the corner near our church. So many of our friends come and it makes for a fabulous morning. I think my kids liked it...a lot!

Easter morning was just delightful! The kids came downstairs to see the Easter Bunny had brought these new camping chairs, but their baskets were hidden. They jumped out of their chairs to go search. Once they found all the baskets (which was so cute that they totally helped each other!), they started to dig in!

Peep kabobs, cotton candy, chocolate, and little toys...they were pleased!

 Roman was pretty excited about his new toys...

We then ran over to my mom's house for more Easter baskets from grandma, my delicious cinnamon rolls, eggs, and fruit. I rarely make cinnamon rolls, but this was the perfect occasion. Yummy, yummy. We ate up, cleaned up, and started on the egg dying. Even though it is such a mess, I can't leave out egg dying. It is just too much fun as the kids experiment with colors, add designs, and go all out with each and every egg...

And it wouldn't be Easter without Easter outfits!

The fun didn't stop there! After church we went over to the Nielson's house for Susie's delicious dinner and even more Easter baskets. I know, these kids were spoiled and their mommy sure put on some extra pounds because of it! Tanner and Drew came with Isla and my kids were thrilled to see all of them. Such a perfect day to spend with the family.
