Easter 2011

We had a fun Easter this year! Unfortunately (once again!), the babies have come down with a cold that showed up in the middle of the night right before Easter. Poor Ella Bean was up several times in the night crying. She has a really hard time when she gets sick, therefore mommy does too. We were all a bit exhausted come Easter morning that the babies and I stayed in, while Daddy played at church. We waited until Papa and Mimi got home from church and headed over to their house for breakfast and then down for our normal afternoon nap. We woke up ready to head over to Papa and Grandma's house (although Evan always says that Papa is at GRANDMA'S house-- haha!) for a nice Easter dinner.

Before dinner the babies went out front and searched for eggs that cousins Kayli and Kevin hid for them. Ella and Evan had their first egg hunt the day before at Papa and Mimi's house. These kids knew exactly what to do. I suppose Ella's 2 years of hoarding/collecting paid off. These are some competitive kids, I tell ya! =)

Grandma had a GREAT dinner with way too much food. And Ella and Evan thought it was so fun that both sets of grandparents were there together! =) Here are a few pictures of the egg hunt prior to dinner. We had LOTS of fun! Hope you all had a blessed Easter!!

This looks so sweet to me!

Sweet Bean

My little moose checking to see if anything was hidden in the eggs! Strawberries were in the other ones... he must have eaten 10 strawberries in a row the day before! Today they had yummy fruit snacks! =)

Isn't he a handsome little guy!?!?

Trying to keep up with his sissy!

And he's off!

Easter basket AND backpack!

Any in here?

Do you know where this is headed? Evan with his Easter basket?

Yup, you called it!

Kayli hid eggs in her apron pocket. Ella quickly reached in and said, "No Kayli, those are my eggs!" =)

Silly Bean.

Isn't she beautiful!? =)

Fun with effects!
