Easter

Every Easter we head down to my parent's house and spend the weekend with them. On the day before Easter the guys typically golf and my mom and I go shopping. But this year she treated me to a pedicure, which was absolutely amazing. Then on Saturday night we usually dye the eggs for the next day!

She was so excited! Can you tell?

My mom and brother are going to hate me for posting this picture, but I thought it was hilarious. Those faces say it all. There were lots of surprises when you dye eggs with a 3 and 1 year old.
Each egg was probably dyed 7 times. Lots of dropping eggs into the colored water! :)
Easter morning. My kids LOVE my brother, they honestly adore him and it makes my heart soar when they scream his name and run up to him. He is a terrific uncle!
My sweet girl. I curled her hair and she was SOOOOO excited to show everyone her hair. This picture is after church so we have lost a lot of the curls! :)


A fun surprise that was in their Easter baskets! Hilarious!
My aunt Kittie sent the kids conductor hats for Easter and Cooper of course loved it because it had a train on it! A little high on the head though, don't you think?
Every year my parents do a huge Easter egg hunt and it is usually cut throat between Jayson, Chris and I. But this year my cousin Aaron and his wife Shelley and their four girls came and had Easter lunch with us and did the hunt with us. We tried to warn them how crazy we get and they were such good sports. It was so FUN to have them there. Kinsley LOVED having the girls there and I just like the feeling of a full house.

My parents usually hide close to 150 eggs in their front yard and back yard and they usually have candy in them and some of them have gift cards. There is one prize egg and that is usually what we will kill each other to find. It usually has $20 bucks in it and a Starbucks card. Chris found it this year, I was so excited because I benefit from it as well. :) One year my brother tackled me to the ground to get the prize egg from me, and even though I was almost 8 months pregnant I would not give it up. I told you we are cut throat with our egg hunt! :)
The clan except for my cousin Aaron who was taking the picture! I LOVED having them here.
All the ladies!
Hope you all had a beautiful Easter celebrating our Savior's gift of salvation.
