Easter Fun

We started out our Easter festivities with an easter egg hunt in our neighborhood. It was the most organized easter egg hunt that Erik and I have ever seen. Each family was to bring 20 eggs to hide then all the kids and families were counted. We were told each child could walk away with 10 eggs. What ever happened to survival of the fittest? I guess it worked out pretty good for the little kids but the boys were pretty bummed when I told them that they had 11 or 12 eggs and had to put some back.

Getting ready for the hunt.

Cutie!


And they're off!


She wasn't as excited but still had fun with Dad!

Now for Easter day. Leave to us to not do any easter shopping until the week of Easter. It was craziness everywhere we went and everything was GONE! Fortunately the Easter Bunny stopped by a garage sale on the way home from work and found these leapster systems for a steal.

The boys played with these ALL DAY!

Preston's books are a bit more challenging for him so he needs a little help with them.

Now I wanted to get pictures of the kids with all their Easter clothes on but by the time everyone was ready for church, we were late. So I thought after church we'd get the pictures. Makayla was so tired she went right to sleep in her dress and the boys stripped out of their church clothes as soon as we got home. So we got a couple pictures of the little miss when she got up.

That hat didn't stay on her head long.

I bought this dress back in October for $7! I love finding a good deal. But of course I had to make it modest by putting a shirt underneath it. It's my new favorite dress for her.

Now we're all struggling with stomachaches from the candy and tons of leftover ham....but it was all worth it!

FYI: By the end of May our cell phone contracts are up and we are getting rid of our cell phones. We now have a home phone and the number is 503-575-1920.
