The kids had to hunt for their baskets first, before they could start collecting eggs. It didn't take long for them to find their baskets and hunt for their assigned color. The Easter Bunny knows how everything has to be fair at our house, so everyone got the same amount of eggs. We wouldn't want any quibbling on this fun day!
My favorite part of the day was cracking open each egg and seeing the delightful, sugary goodness that lay inside. Robin Eggs, full size and mini; Starburst jelly beans, tropical and regular flavors; Brach's jelly beans; and not my favorite, but the kids LOVE Krabby Patty's.
The Easter Bunny even left the movie Bolt and a Dora movie which had to be immediately opened and enjoyed.
Following the movie, it was off to the next Easter event....Grandma's house!! It's the annual Easter Picnic! What's better than Grandma's potato salad? NOTHING!
Grandma arranged for a fun egg hunt around the yard. Two separate hunts...one for the older kids and one for the younger kids. Yes, the family is getting that big...18 and 1/2 grand kids now! Thank you Grandma for the best egg hunt in town!
The following day on the real Easter, we woke up to sunny, blue skies and beautiful spring flowers. We had a great time at church...well..especially me. I got to sit in the choir seats, so I could actually hear the meeting..yay! Easter Sunday is always one of my favorites at church.
After church it was home for a little photo shoot. You'd think my kids would get used to the fact that I love to take pictures. I'm just like everyone else and have to bribe them. This time it was bribing them with their chance at taking pictures with the "big camera". After I took some pictures of them, Spencer and Ethan took turns and took pictures of me. They turned out pretty good! I think we might have some future photographers in the house! Daddy is a little camera shy, but hopefully we'll catch him off guard and get a great picture of him sometime!!!Overall, it was a great Easter weekend. Now it's time to work off all the yummy candy!!!

What a fun Easter. I seem to remember my childhood Easter Bunny arriving on Saturday...more often than not. I think getting 4 kids ready for church and doing the egg thing was more than my mom could handle!! (And now....I'm seeing the light on that whole thing! No thanks!)
The kids look adorable. And I meant to mention you're new glamor shot on Facebook. One of the kids took that? Wow! Whenever Will takes a picture of me, it's always from his level...and upwards pics are less than flattering!!
Glad you had a happy Easter at your house!
What a gorgeous family. I guess its a blessing when the Easter bunny doesn't make a stop at my house...no candy to eat, trust me that is a good thing.
Sounds like a great weekend! I love that you do the "saturday bunny thing" too. I grew up with that tradition and I've always liked continuing it.
The kids look so sharp and I really love the one where your baby girl is holding the pink flower. Too cute for words. Your is beautiful as well. You inspire me!
What a fun Easter!
Your photography is really good, we might need you to do a family pic. sometime soon!
Oh, and we got the surfboard toothbrush holder at bed bath and beyond, it was little while ago so I hope they still have them in stock!
Thanks for all your comments on our blog!!
