Easter 2011

What a wonderful Easter week we had! The weather was amazing, the company was great and the food was fantastic!

we missed the bluebonnets this year, (thanks to the lack of rain, they didn't stick around long) so we had to settle for the pink weeds in our neighbors yard

We started our Easter celebrations last Saturday with our neighborhood egg hunt. It is held at our park, which is divided by age group. It was nice to get out and mingle with the neighbors and the kids had a blast hunting the eggs.

They were surveying the grounds and plotting the best route to get the most eggs...

Wednesday was Brinley and Clayton's Easter party at school. I forgot to take pictures of them, but trust me, they were very festive in their Bunny attire for their egg hunt at school :-)

Saturday, we met up with Melody at the San Luis hotel in Galveston. It was great seeing her and laying by the pool the entire day! The kiddos had fun swimming and eating PB&J's poolside! We all came home a little pink, but considering it was our first "exposure" to sun, it wasn't that bad!

That evening, we dyed our eggs for the Easter bunny. I had seen on my friends Facebook post about dying eggs using kool aid and water. It looked interesting and I am all for getting rid of the vinegar smell, so we tried it and it turned out great!

Sunday morning, we woke up and saw what the bunny left us in our baskets. Brinley came running to our room in the morning and said "I think the bunny came, I heard him!" We then went outside to hunt the eggs the bunny hid.

After church, we headed to my parent's house for our Easter celebration. Good food, another egg hunt, confetti eggs and lots of playing just about sums up our afternoon!

My beautiful babies (and my new favorite picture) in their Easter best....

That evening, we headed to Jason's grandparent's house for dinner. The weather was cool, so the kids played outside the entire time! More great food, ANOTHER egg hunt, bocci ball and power wheel driving sums up our night!

this little man was determined to get those eggs!

Brinley gave up on carrying the basket, it was slowing her down!

It was a long week, but we had so much fun! Now, the next month of craziness begins! We have preschool graduation, dance recital, swim lessons and tball games to finish up. I am ready for the lazy days of summer!
