Easter Day

  We had another terrific Easter.  Its the quintessential spring holiday and it always gets us very excited for spring and warmer weather!
   The kids were up super early to check out what the Easter bunny brought them.  Like usual, he left lots and lots of loot for all of them.  They were all very happy with their baskets.  He also left a ton of eggs throughout the house.  The kids had a great time finding them all.  There were some really easy ones for Gracie, but she wasn't too into picking them up.  She was more interested in watching her crazy brother and sister go from room to room.
   Later that morning, we went to my grandma's house for Easter lunch.  She always does an amazing job making Easter lunch.  Her cooking is just fantastic.  We all had a nice time eating great food and spending time together.  The kids liked going in her backyard and soaking up the nice weather that day. 
    After my grandma's house, we went over to my brother's house for another egg hunt.  The Easter bunny always leaves some eggs for the kids over there and they LOVE the tradition of going over there and finding them. 
      The weather was just gorgeous we couldn't have asked for a better Easter spent with family. 

As usual, the Easter bunny was very good to the kids

She is so darn cute

He loves Angry Bird Transformers and was so excited to get this coloring  book. 

Ashlyn got lots of  great stuff.


Gracie mostly enjoyed holding eggs in her hands and shaking them.

The Easter egg hunt at my brother's .  I can't wait for everything to green up. 

She found lots more eggs

    That afternoon, Ella came over to our house to spend some more time with Ashyln.  They love playing with one another, but with Ashlyn in school they don't get much time together during the week.  On the weekends, we try to get them together as much as possible.   Dawson got this Transformer rocket launcher for Christmas.  It really hasn't been nice enough to try it out, but I finally was able to  pull it out.  The kids had so much fun playing with it.  They would stomp on it and it launched the rocket in the air.  They spent over an hour launching it over and over.  I have a feeling it will be entertaining them a lot this spring. 

Launching action


Joey got some terrific action shots


Ashlyn was really good at launching it.
