Easter Dinner

After a great lunch with my folks, we headed to Jason's Granparents' house for the Smith Easter dinner.  His brother, wife and kids were in from Switzerland, so it was wonderful to have all the cousins together!  They had a great time jumping in the moon walk, playing baseball and hunting eggs.  It always amazes me that no matter how long it has been since they have seen each other (this time was 6 months ago), they jump right back in with each other as soon as they set eyes on each other!

Easter Morning and Lunch

Brinley and Clayton woke up Easter morning every excited to see that the Easter bunny came. Clayton even said that he heard the bunny hopping downstairs.....

The kids tore through their baskets and enjoyed all their goodies!

 Thanks to Pinterest, we had bunny biscuits for breakfast and then headed outside in the very wet grass to find the eggs the Easter bunny had hidden!

 We headed to my parent's house for Easter lunch.  After a very yummy lunch, the kids headed outside for the egg hunt.

 We went inside after the egg hunt to sing Happy Birthday to Reese and eat her favorite birthday cake, strawberry...YUM!!!! After that, the kids headed into the back yard for some confetti egg fun!



School Egg hunt and Egg dying

Our Easter celebration started on Thursday with an Egg hunt at Brinley's school.  They had to bring 12 filled eggs in a decorated egg carton.  It had rained for the past two days, so thanks to standing water, we had to hide over 1000 eggs on the hardtop by the playground. So, I guess we shouldn't call it an egg hunt, but an egg pick up.

 After the hunt, we spread out blankets and had a picnic lunch outside and the kids ran around breaking confetti eggs on each other.  It was a great day!

On Good Friday, the kids were off school and Jason was off work, so we spent the day at home relaxing, baking and dying eggs.
