Easter

We had so much fun celebrating Easter. My brother came up from Utah with his family and on the Monday before Easter we got together to color eggs. The kids love doing this....





Our dozen colored eggs

Stockton was just chillin'. He was just sitting in his car seat and he bucked himself right out! That kid wants to get movin'!


We had a fun time and coloring eggs with Brad's family. It was good to see them and catch up. On Saturday we went to my sister Lindsay's house for lunch, and our easter egg hunt, along with decorating sugar cookies.


This is Piper helping me make sugar cookies. She loves to help in the kitchen!


We ate lunch and then helped the kids decorated the cookies. Marci brought the yummy homemade cream cheese frosting and Grandma Jensen brought the candy. I love decorating sugar cookies! These are some pictures of the fun....

The final product...don't they look good?

Next came the big Easter Egg hunt... We had a lot of eggs filled with candy and the kids just scattered when we told them to hunt eggs.

Stockton even got in on the action and got himself some eggs.... he was just happy to be there!

We got through the day of candy and cookies-then came Sunday morning which is a little stressful trying to get to church on time. These are the Easter dresses the girls got and their baskets.


Could you tell we had some drama going on? I COULD NOT get a good picture of all of them in their Easter dresses. We were having meltdowns big time so I gave up on the picture.


This picture makes me laugh! Brooklyn is SO grumpy but yet she is still trying to smile. The look on Reese's face just cracks me up. She is a little poser! In the end I didn't get my picture, but we had a nice weekend with beautiful weather.....one of the few we have had this Spring. Hopefully as the girls wear their dresses to church I can get a decent picture of them when they aren't so moody. Is that even possible? Lol!!!

Hey. I have an idea. You come up here to Blanchard, and I will try to get pictures of your kids and you try to get ONE of my kids! Certainly they'll smile and behave for someone else, right? ;) Sometimes I wonder why I even try the picture thing!!
