Happy Easter

Here we are at the crack of dawn getting dressed to go see if the Easter Bunny came! You see I am not one of those mean moms that takes pictures of their kids before the get a chance to comb their hair in the morning. I don't make them comb it I just give them the opportunity before I go camera crazy. Sara decided all on her own that she needed an up-do to go with the dress she picked out to wear! Clayton and James could really care less!





Wow! I must have some great kids in this house for the Easter Bunny to love them this much!!!



That Easter Bunny was super smart! He knew just where each kids' eye level would be.

And EVERYONE was happy!!! I got the best Easter basket ever! My adorable nephew to play with! I sure do LOVE babies!









And for tradition sake the infamous Easter Egg Hunt.






To help with Easter dinner the kids decided to make dessert. Sara helped me make a multi-layer rice krispie treat, and then her and Clayton sacrificed peeps from their Easter basket to decorate it.





Here are my homemade dinner rolls we had for Easter Dinner. Jason thought they were gigantic, but I didn't want to have to make a million so I just made them big.


We had a fantastic Easter! The food was no feast but it was good and easy which I found to be best on holidays. I wish I would have taken more pictures after out family arrived. The kids had lots of fun getting to show Grandma and Grandpa all the cool things they could do like riding bikes. I thing James enjoyed having my grandparents around to coo and idle him. Jonathan and Telma were of course a huge hit! Not only do the kids love how Telma is one of the few adults who can totally get all of their imaginative make believe games, but she also brought them yummy baskets full of toys and chocolates which they were super happy about especially since they thought they had gotten everything they could get in one day. Happy Easter everyone! And to those we missed we hope to see you on Easter next year!

Easter Celebration Part I

We started our celebration Friday evening by coloring some great looking Easter Eggs. Then on Saturday our favorite nephew, James, joined us for a super fun Easter Egg Hunt and some Kite flying. And today is only Saturday! I am sure by the time the Easter Bunny makes it to our house the kids will be expert egg hunters.

This is the first year we did Easter pictures. At Northpark there is a photographer that sets up a cute scene in the mall with lots of real bunnies. The kids had soooo much fun. They got to pet and hold the cute little bunnies. Sara's favorite was the baby white rabbit, and Clayton's favorite was the brown one with the white nose. After the pictures were taken Sara came up to me and told me she wanted to move back to her old house. I asked her why she would want to move back to an apartment and she said so she could have a pet bunny. I explained that some day we will own our own home and be able to have pets to which she bacame exstatic.
