Easter Fun

We had a nice Easter weekend. On Saturday the kids woke up to find their Easter baskets and eggs hidden in the living room. Later my mom and I took the kids to a park here where some friends in the ward were getting together for a little egg hunt. On Sunday we had the Woolf family over for a yummy dinner of ham, potatoes, green beans, rolls, salad and carrot cake! The Woolf's brought their kites with them and the kids had a great time in the backyard!

Flying kites....
Miles loves being outside! And he loves his little playhouse - it is just his size!More kite flying...
The girls waiting at the kids table for dinner!

The Saturday egg hunt at the park:
Miles had a great time playing at the park (those are 12 month pants... he is a shorty, but I think they are a little bigger than regular 12 month pants!)
Sophie was the oldest kid there and I told her to make sure she stopped gathering eggs when she had 12 of them so all the little kids got enough. She was very good about it and I saw her counting her eggs a few times and putting some in the other kids' baskets to make sure she kept hers at twelve! (I got her super cute jacket at goodwill for 2 bucks!)
I had a hard time getting a good picture of Nora - she knew there was candy in those eggs and nothing in this world was gonna stop her from getting to them!
Here she goes again....
Waiting patiently for the hunt to start.... (notice the cute twirly skirts my mom made while she was here - I was going to make them myself - truly I was! But my mom wanted to do it - so I let her! Aren't I nice?? Thanks mom!)
I love this picture of Sophie and Brian!

I didn't get a lot of pictures of the kids with their baskets - and NONE of them in their Easter clothes Sunday morning. But our church starts at 9am, I had a lesson to prepare and Brian had a 8:15am meeting... so we were a little rushed that morning!But trust me - they all looked adorable! :) I am going to try to get some pictures of them in their new clothes when the weather clears up.... we have rain again today. And my boy is sick so we are going to be taking it easy.

Looks like fun. Sorry your little man is so sick. I hope he's feeling better today. I love the girls' skirts. I have an apron out of the red flower material- hooray for Hobby Lobby! :) Love you.

Looks like you had a wonderful Easter. Now would your mom be willing to come to my house and make clothes for me and my children? Oh, she would have to bring her own sewing machine, if that's alright!

We've gone two years in a row without Easter pictures. Last year Bauer threw up all over himself...in church! And then this year for obvious reasons!

I love the pictures of Nora running around looking for the eggs!
