Happy Easter!

Easter was such a fun weekend this year.  Along with celebrating Ellie’s birthday, we of course had to do the classic egg hunt.  My mom went totally overboard and the kids bags were stuffed!IMG_1844 IMG_1847 IMG_1850 IMG_1851Inside lots of the eggs were pictures of bigger gifts that wouldn’t fit.  They got so spoiled with sidewalk chalk, playdoh, and lots of other goodies!IMG_1858No pictures of our afternoon, but we broke tradition and ate dinner together on Saturday!  It made it so much easier on our schedule because we didn’t have to get home late on Sunday evening.

Sunday morning was the usual chaos of getting two kiddos ready for church and trying to squeeze in some pictures before they ruin their clothes. :)  Here’s a close up of Ellison’s outfit.  My mom bought her dress and of course I had to go a little more over-the-top with her bow.Picture 1811 My gorgeous little girl.IMG_1913Getting these two crazies to look at the camera is next to impossible these days!IMG_1923 Aww, a rare sweet hug.IMG_1930And it’s time to run.IMG_1942IMG_1961IMG_1973The best shot we could get of our (almost) family of 5.IMG_1981And an adorable picture of my brother and sister-in-law Kara!IMG_1985Even though we missed Casey and Jenna, it was a great little weekend with our awesome family.

the great egg hunt

This morning was our first egg hunt of the year.  Our church hosted it’s first egg hunt and we had a blast!  We ate donuts, milk, and coffee and got entered for all the giveaways.  Then we headed into the main auditorium for a dramatic telling of the Easter story with neat video.  Owen actually stayed very “tuned in” to the story.

Then we all headed outside to where they had 2 areas roped off depending on the kiddos ages.IMG_9515IMG_9510 The Easter bunny waved a welcome at everyone.IMG_9512The kiddos got their cute bags ready.  IMG_9508And then they were off.  Luckily we were on the not crowded side and they got quite a few eggs before they got rushed with more kids.mThen we opened all the eggs and returned them (so they could reuse them next year) and went to collect the few prizes they earned.IMG_9520All in all, a really great event.  Especially for the first one ever at church!
