Egg Hunt...

This year we were very blessed with an almost-summer-ish kind of day for Easter! Although the temp was quite warm, the wind kept us just cool enough for a sweater. The kids spent plenty of time jumping on the trampoline...again! This is their favorite thing to do lately!
Since it was warm enough out the kids had a huge Egg Hunt again! I think over 100 plastic eggs were hidden all over in the yard and maybe beyond! Someone said they found one nestled by all the bee hives close to the woods...the wise children decided to make Uncle Colter get that one for them!

While the little girls ran all around the yard finding eggs James was happy to sit on the grass and play...

The "big Aunties", (as we fondly call them!) Grammie and myself enjoyed visiting while the kids kept busy...and the guys were off in the garage doing guy things...

I am not sure who hid the eggs...but something tells me it was probably Uncle Colter...It took Marissa a couple tries to get these eggs pryed off the nail that was holding them in place! Our family is notorious for a good practical joke...and what could be better than eggs out in the open that are nailed in place! Joke was on Colter because Marissa got the eggs off the nail!

Elsie and Auntie Emma were on a team...they held hands and shared a basket...so cute! And just for the record...I bought some cute pink leggings to go with Elsie's new Easter dress...but she insisted on her rainbow tights and cowboy boots...and she even went like that to church!


Finding Easter eggs by the Apple Trees...

An Egg must have been spied...off they go!Laura kept James happy with a ride on the tire swing...my children really are spoiled by such fun aunties! How many other aunties would volunteer to swing a baby...everyone truly argues over James!


Elsie and Emma found so many eggs...they had to come back and dump the eggs out so they could go find more...

See...Rainbow tights and cowboy boots with her good Easter dress...Love it!

Counting the Easter eggs...I am not sure if ever really discovered who the winner was...most of the eggs were found and the kids were all happy...nothing else matters much!

James was just happy to have all those eggs dumped out right next to him...I am pretty sure he chewed on everyone of them!

After the Egg hunt the guys and Laura all headed off to the gravel pit for some dirt bike fun...and Elsie and I tagged along to take a few (okay...maybe quite a few) pictures...someday I will get around to posting them! We had a great Easter celebration...
