Easter Day

Easter Day was a fun filled day. 

We started off our day by visiting Grandma Great. We bought a Spring Cactus for Grandma Great on behalf of Mimi. I saw this and immediately thought of Grandma Great. It has beautiful hot pink flowers (she loves fushia) and it's a cactus (she grew up in Arizona.)

And one picture with bunny ears for Easter

We then drove to my parents house and went to church with them. 

While there, the Easter Bunny visited us. 

C and S were running too fast for me to get a picture, but I did get one of MK collecting Easter Eggs.

The kids received sidewalk chalk for Easter.

They spent a couple hours drawing a mural.

And of course, going to grandma and boppi's house means a trip to the park.

This time, MK was too busy and fast for me to get a picture of her.

S crawled into the monkey bars. He is part monkey.

We spent the night at my parents house. The kids were VERY upset that we were only staying one night. We've already decided to have another sleepover the following weekend. 

1st Easter Egg Hunt

Easter is almost here! Every year my work hosts an Easter Egg Hunt for the employee's kids. We've gone every year since C was a baby, and yesterday was MK's first time. It's always lots of fun. They do a great job in breaking up the age groups and making sure there are plenty of eggs for all. The boys found lots of eggs. Here is MK getting prepped for her big debut.

MK's first Easter

S let her borrow his bunny ears for the picture. And here are the kids after the hunt.

C, MK, S

I had to show this one because they are so funny. There's C making sure everyone is doing what they are supposed to (see him glancing sideways at the others.) Then there's MK looking at her brothers who are much more exciting than mom and dad telling her to say 'cheese.' Then there's S--what can I say? He's such a hoot!

The weather has been so crazy lately! They had to bundle up in jackets or sweaters. One day it's sunny, and it almost looks like Spring. The next, it snows! Yesterday (and today), it rained in the valley and snowed in the mountains. I wasn't sure if they'd have to cancel the hunt--but the rain held while the kids ran around hunting for eggs. Just after the hunt when I had the kids sit together for this picture, it started to rain again. We usually hang around for a while and feed the ducks there, but this year we had to just run back to the car and head home.
