Easter Fun!

It seems a little weird that Easter is done and over with so early in April, but in fact it is. The kids had a fun-filled Easter weekend that included lots of Easter eggs and lots of goodies! Their Easter fun actually started Thursday night when we went to dinner with Greg's mom since we weren't going to see her on Easter. They got their Easter baskets early and got a ton of Easter goodies. Everything from candy and money in the eggs to clothes and toys in the baskets. Here's their goodies!


Then on Saturday morning the first of three egg hunts started with the neighborhood Easter egg hunt. This was sort of a last minute thing a few of us threw together. In years past there's been a huge neighborhood hunt with a ton of kids and about five houses in a row that the backyards are covered in eggs. Becky that does my hair usually organizes this, but with her new baby it was just too much this year and it's gotten so big that the five yards really aren't enough. So we decided to do with a smaller group and it ended up being just as much fun! There were probably about 12 kids and we used one backyard. All the kids had a great time! Here's a couple photos from the fun!

On Sunday we got up and the kids found their goodies from the Easter bunny and hunted for the eggs the Easter bunny left. Here they are checking out the goods in the Easter baskets.

Then we headed to my Dad's for Easter and had a nice dinner there and the kids got more Easter goodies and had their third egg hunt! It was so nice to have beautiful weather for Easter this year so the kids didn't freeze outside looking for eggs. It was perfect! Here are some more Easter goodies they got.

Evan found a few right here!

Emme filled her basket so full she had to empty it before collecting more!

Lots of fun for the kids and I can't believe how many goodies they got! I sure don't remember getting that many goodies for Easter. I think my basket had some eggs and candy. LOL. We finished the day by visiting my Aunt & Uncle, and cousins- The Sharkey clan! They had four new puppies and the kids wanted to see them so this was the perfect time to stop by. We rarely get to see them and it was so nice to catch up. We really have to get together more often. The last time we saw them was in May! Evan got into some b-ball action with all the cousins and had a blast! Here are most of them playing some hoops! What a fun day!

We couldn't stay too long because we had a couple hour drive home and we had to get back and take care of Molly! My niece, Kaite came back with us for a couple days to stay during her spring break so we're happy to have her here with us!
