So we've been loving the clearing of the snow in our yard, the kids have loved playing on the trampoline and in the sand box while Adam would BBQ. Granted they still had to have warm coats, but it was progress! On Saturday we were suppose to have an Easter-egg hunt outside at my step-sisters church and we woke up to this....
It was pretty, but oh-so disappointing too. So the Easter-egg hunt was inside the church. It was fun and then we took the kids to McDonald's. That night Adam's sister Aubrey came and spent the night and helped me with the kids so I could cook and bake for Easter dinner at our house. She helped fill Easter eggs and then we all played the wii. It was fun. Easter morning the kids were so EXCITED about the Easter bunny coming.
Mady threw herself on the floor and screamed, "HUNGRY, HUNGRY HIPPOS!" It's so neat to see your kids get so excited.
Noah went straight for the baseball bat and ball. Of course.
Easter day was fun. We were going to go to Twin Falls to see Adam's mom but that didn't pan out so we had Easter at our house. Adam's Dad, Terri and the girls came over. So did my mom, John, Josh, my step-sister Brigitte, Craig and their kiddos and Adam's friend Scott came over too (his wife and adorable new baby girl haven't moved up from California yet, so he spent the day with us). It was fun. We had an Easter-egg hunt with the kids! They loved it of course.
We made 2 hams, Brigitte brought AMAZING home-made rolls and we had so much yummy food.
After we all picked our way-too-full selves up... Me and Brigitte colored Easter eggs with the kids.
We soon realized that 2 adults and 4 kids were going to be a MESS. So WE colored them and then let them paint and sticker them. That worked out tons better.
I also had to post a couple pictures of these bunnies that Brigitte got the kids. You put jelly beans in them, wind them up and then they walk and poop jelly beans! Ha ha! The kids loved it. They were a hit.
So we relaxed for awhile and everyone left but Craig and Brigitte, so we broke out the Wii and played some Guitar Hero. We made ham sandwiches and made the kids eat some fruit and corn dogs, since all they'd eaten most of the day was CANDY! Blah. It was fun. I'll tell you what, by the end of the day our kids were POOPED. Mady was out by 8:15. Brigitte said Kynden and Ashton were barely in jammies with teeth brushed before they were OUT. but overall it was such a fun day.
Mady and Kynden loved a chance at rockin' out to Guitar Hero! They were so cute.
You guys had a houseful! Sounds like fun. My mom was telling me you got lots of snow. oh fun. That would be really frustrating! Those wind up bunnies are too funny.
