Easter Weekend

We had such a fun Easter weekend with family and friends. Gigi, Grandpop and Aunt Bekah came on Friday to spend some time with us before they headed to Waco. Then Saturday morning we went to a fun Easter Egg Hunt at the Olson's house and then headed home and Jammy and Papa and the Starrs came. Aunt Mary, we missed you!! Hannah talked about all of her plans for Easter "when all of my grandparents are here" for weeks!!

Dying Easter Eggs with Aerial

Gigi, Grandpop, Aunt Bekah, and their girls. Alice Anne had had enough of the picture taking!!


This picture perfectly describes Hannah's Easter Egg hunting strategy...she ONLY got the pink, purple and orange eggs, or "pretty colors" as she calls them. She walked right past all the other eggs as if they weren't even there!!

After all the eggs had been hunted, everyone was running around playing, but Hannah was no where to be found. I finally found her far away from everyone else, under the gazebo, eating all her candy. She had no idea I was watching her and taking her picture.

Hannah had 2 big plans for Easter...to dress-up like a "beautiful princess" for everyone, and to play red rover. She slipped upstairs after nap on Saturday and when she came back down, this is what she had on!!! She was so proud of her outfit and she was ready for everyone to go outside and play red rover. I think the day lived up to her expectations :)

This picture probably isn't funny to anyone but me and Sarah because we saw the pure panic on Alice Anne's face. She accidentally stepped into the middle of this pile of dirt and once she realized that she was standing in dirt, she completely froze and looked at us with the most terrified look on her face. She wouldn't move. After we got a good laugh in, Sarah had to go "rescue" her from the dirt.

I love this picture!! Sweet cousins trying to get a rolly polly

The Easter Bunny came while they were napping and they couldn't get out there fast enough to hunt some more eggs!

Here she goes again!! We literally put ONE skittle or smarty in each egg, but we had 3 golden eggs, so we put real candy in those. This golden egg had a HUGE coke gummy in it. Hannah opened it up, realized that neither the egg or the candy inside it was a pretty color, closed it back up and put it back in the grass for someone else. Funny Girl!

Picking up the reject eggs :)

Those baskets get heavy pretty fast!

This was so funny! I have no idea how this egg got on her shoulder, but I felt like I was watching a slow motion movie. She tried for the longest time to figure out 1) what was on her shoulder and then 2) how to get that egg off her shoulder without putting the 2 eggs down that she was holding.

Counting ALL their eggs!

Such sweet pics! It still cracks me up that H was so selective about her eggs! It takes a very particular girl to pass up candy... even if it isn't "pretty"!

Janice saw that pic of H sitting on the island dying the eggs, and said, "That looks just like Emily!"
