Easter Fun

What a wonderful Easter we had this year! We started Saturday at Gramie and PopPop's. Of course we hunted Easter eggs...

But we also Hula-hooped...

...Some of us are quite talented...

...Some of us...well...not so much.

But we all tried!

Sunday morning we started at our house were the Easter Bunny left treats for the kids...

...Poor Titan no treats for you.

For breakfast we made some Awesome breakfast pizza.

I made them on half an English muffin spread with Alfredo sauce topped with breakfast sausage, scrambled eggs, bacon, ham, and cheese. They were a big hit!

After Breakfast we went to church in Mande and Tim's ward. Tim was given the Melchizdek priesthood. We had a really great family meeting that I am sure everyone, including the kids, will remember. It was a wonderful experience.

Don't I Have The Cutest Kids!

 Ever!

Easter

The kids Easter morning.

We went over to Pop pop and Gramie's for dinner after church. Pop pop made a very yummy dinner of leg of lamb.

Looks like the Easter Bunny visited Gramie's house too.

Dying Eggs

We decide this year to dye some Easter eggs. So with the help of Grandma we gathered around the table.

This egg matches his eyes.

What a wonderful rainbow of eggs.

Thanks grandma for joining us.

Easter Day

Happy Easter! We started out Saturday night with people getting sick and continued on through Sunday. So it was a lazy day yesterday.

The boys and Boo with their Easter stash.


Annalyn had a lot of help finding eggs, maybe a little to much. Her brothers would find them and bring them to her or take her to them.


For breakfast we enjoyed Stuffed French Toast that Shermie helped me make the night before. If you notice the sausage in the bottom there, we didn't finish eating it. My father-in-law brought it over. As we were eating it he asked if it tasted alright. "Not really", "Well I think it might have been bad." We all had a good laugh about it and luckily no one got sick. (or sicker I should say)


And Deviled Eggs. Yeah, I know kind of weird to have at breakfast but they are good and its eggs after all.

Pre-Easter Easter with Gramie and PopPop

Since Gramie will be out of town for Easter we had it early with them. All the in town cousins were there ready to find the Easter Eggs.
And off they go!

Annalyn didn't take long to caught on and she loved it. Even when we were done she continued to look around for more eggs.

It was a laugh to watch them all running around egg hunting.

Matthew and Nicholas checking in the garden.All tuckered out Annalyn continued to cling to her favorite finds. While asleep she lost her grip on the white one. She woke just long enough to find it and get a good grip before falling back to sleep.
My little sleeping beauty.

Easter Pictures

We had a good Easter. In the morning we had breakfast with Gramie and Pop pop, hunted for eggs then went to church. After church we hunted more eggs and then ate with Grandma and Grandpa. I love plastic eggs and so do the boys after finding them all they spent several hours re-hiding them for each other. Easy entrainment.

Any day I don't have to cook and the kids are happy is a good day.
