Happy Easter!!!!

We had a very busy Spring Break so we were all ready for a nice quiet Easter. Here are the kids right when we came down stairs to see if the Easter Bunny came to visit. (After the week we had there was much speculation on whether he would be visiting!)


Here are all four Easter baskets. The Easter Bunny decided to go with a summer theme and brought the kids things they would need for swimming lessons. They were very happy to get new swimming suits, towels and crocs for the pool.

Here is our basket of colored eggs. The kids had a playdate earlier in the week with our friends Alie and Nathan to color eggs. They did a beautiful job!

The Easter Bunny decided to hold his annual Easter Egg hunt indoors this year since the weather was so wet earlier in the week and Hailey is still not walking yet so this way she got to find some special eggs just for her.

Hailey wasn't shy about getting into her Easter basket. She was so happy to get new sippy cups, snacks and a few little toys.

Joseph got new "Cars" swim trunks and a matching towel.

Hailey loved her new sunglasses!

Kyle loved Hailey's new sunglasses too!

Hannah was a master at hunting eggs. She heard a rumor there was more candy in them so she was on a mission!

Kyle was racing to see who could get the most eggs. He was pretty sure he was going to win.

Hailey found one egg. Once she found this one with Baby Goldfish crackers in it she really didn't care about doing much else but eating the crackers!

Joseph did pretty good this year. He actually kept up with Kyle and Hannah.

Good teamwork!

Hailey loves to pose for the camera. She knows when it comes out to smile pretty for Mommy.

Joseph has been going without his afternoon naps for about a week now. All the excitement was too much for him though. He had a little nap in the afternoon with his puppies and his new "Cars" beach towel!

Then we had a surprise from Hailey. We were getting ready to say "Goodbye" to Grammie and she started trying to balance and walk! So I grabbed my camera and put it on video and started recording. To my surprise I was able to capture her first steps! Everyone was very very excited so there is a lot going on in the background (and yes even some embarrassing Hannah moments in there!). The video is about 4 minutes and we are so glad to be able to share it with you!
