Easter

So after Abbie's birthday part of Easter, we sent the kids upstairs to play with Abbie's presents. Then Marty and I got an Easter egg hunt ready for them. We decided this year to combine the baskets and the egg hunt. So we put an initial on each of the eggs and then inside some of the eggs where numbers that went with their prizes. We put some candy and quarters in the other eggs. The kids thought it was fun to have to find their initial. We opened all the prizes and by that time, Marty had to be back at church and I had to start getting myself and the kids ready for church. Right when we were getting ready to leave I thought about taking a few pictures. This is the one that is right on front of our bushes that have pink flowers on them right now - what was I thinking? Actually, I was thinking I don't care I just need to make sure and take at least one picture of them in their Easter outfits and to do it quickly or we would be late!

Then after church I tried again, not much better! It was bedtime by now. I think my favorite though is the one where they almost look like Charlie's Angels:)

The kids were really cute when we were going to bed. They asked if we could have some more Easter tomorrow, since we didn't get to celebrate it all day. They ended up hiding their eggs for each other, it was really sweet.

Easter

I have been lazy in my blogging lately and haven't blogged about our Easter yet. Well, Sunday morning Marty left early to work at church but this is what the kids and I came downstairs to:


Marty made these out of poster board and construction paper! Notice the eyes-they are the same color as which kid it is for. Man, Marty is so creative!!


The kids looking at their prizes. Saturday our neighborhood had an Easter egg hunt that was really lame. They let the younger kids go first and so by the time Graham went he only found one egg. Abbie found four and Molly had two eggs and then inside each egg they had a piece of paper that said "I owe you ten cents." Our kids were quite disappointed. So we told them they would get a prize the next day, that's what the bunny baskets were for.

After our surprise morning, the kids and I went to breakfast with the Doss' at Steak N Shake. And we were once again surprised with Easter baskets. Our kids loved them!


Looking through their baskets.


Brittani had a hilarious app on her iphone called SmackTalk. It is only a little hamster that repeats everything you say but is so funny. Molly thought it was so hilarious.


We sure love this family! Thanks for sharing Easter morning with us.


My and my kids, we were laughing at the SmackTalk hamster.


All five kids together.

We decided to go to church on Monday night. Sunday night Molly had extremely bad diaper rash so we didn't want to take her to church. I took these pictures before we left for church Monday night.


The best I could do with all three.


Abbie and Graham hugging, they were being so sweet with each other.


They got these windmills in their Easter baskets and were playing with them since it was extremely windy when we were out there.
