Easter '09

We had a very busy Easter weekend - an Easter egg hunt Saturday, the girls had one Sunday morning during church and then we went to another one Sunday afternoon! Needless to say we came home with ALOT of eggs (real and plastic) and way more candy than we need! Enjoy the tidal wave of pics!
Here are the eggs the girls & I colored and decorated ... I thought they were too cute!

Easter morning with their Easter baskets - candy, notebooks, pens, pencils, etc ...
Kaden got cars, a motorcycle, a play cell phone and plastic eggs that looked like - you guessed it - balls!! Baseballs, footballs, soccer balls, basketballs ... he was thrilled!

Sunday afternoon our friends the Crofts invited us to join their family for lunch and an egg hunt. Well the food was wonderful - and there was plenty of it. But the eggs were outrageous - there were 714 Easter eggs (about 100 real, the rest plastic). No it is not a typo - 714 eggs!! And probably about 20+ kids so ... eggs galore!! Then after the egg hunt they held a scavenger hunt. It was a beautiful day and we all had a great time.

Here is Kaden getting a jump start on the egg hunt ...

The kids anxious to go - and Marshall keeping them from a false start! LOL

I think she may have spotted one ... LOL

Grace is getting a little old for the egg hunting I think - she wasn't quite as enthusiastic!

Little man filling up his basket ... yes it is a baseball! : )

Grace throwing the peace sign ... LOL

Abby's basket was about to bust with eggs!

Kaden tired out of egg hunting once he saw the swing. I love this picture!

My girls being (kinda) sweet for a picture ...

And still hunting eggs ...

Clues about the last prize egg - they had all walked past it a hundred times!

Well that wraps it up for our Easter egg-stravaganza (LOL) .... hope you enjoyed the pics!
