Easter Festivities...

The weekend started with an Easter Egg hunt out at my Aunts house. She lives on 13200 S. - so the time it takes to drive out there, is longer than the actual hunt. Jon was so excited, and he was in the first "heat" of kids to start the hunt.


The kids LOVE going out there, there are dogs, horses, chickens, and every spring there are baby chicks. They love to hold them, and watch them jump around in the barn. Nick has decided that he wants to live on a farm. My aunt told him that when he has a bad day, he can run away to her house & stay for a couple of hours - (note to self...buy bus passes for all of my children...)

Ashley felt like she was too "grown up" to do the hunt, but obviously not to grown up to eat some of the candy!!

We have asked the Easter Bunny to come on Saturday at our house, so On Saturday morning, we did the bunny thing at our house. The Easter bunny hid the eggs inside, which isn't as fun, and again, the hunt only lasts about 5 min., so I didn't even get any pictures of that.

Our neighborhood also does an egg hunt (I loved hosting it in the old neighborhood, but I LOVE being a guest!!). It was FREEZING! The poor kids could see their breath! It was fun to get together with everyone and chat, until the frost bite took over!

(This is the whole group, I just couldn't get back far enough to get them in one shot.)

Then of course Easter Morning, we take our annual picture. In the past few years, we were able to take their picture by my flower beds with HUNDREDS of tulips & daffodils...this year - we get to take a picture in front of a ROCK!!

They looked adorable...(check out Jon's shoes!!)

And let's not forget this Easter Outfit!! Isn't he cute!! Needless to say, it has been a great weekend, and it was nice to be able to enjoy Easter Sunday without the pressures of the Easter Bunny.
