Easter Weekend

On Good Friday, our youngest nephew had to go to the hospital so the 2 older boys spent the day at our house. It was a very busy day entertaining 5 kiddos!

We set up the slip n slide in our back yard which they all loved.

We watched a movie with 3D glasses, Eli cracked me up wearing his.

I had planned to make Resurrection rolls with my kids that day so we went ahead and did it with all of them. I thought they were mostly for teaching the kids but they were actually really delicious too! In between reading the story from the bible, Dade entertained us with his beloved Titanic book.

All 5 finally relaxing!

The next day, we colored Easter egss.

Haylee had 7 done before any of us really got started. She has always been that way, drops an egg in each color for a second and calls it done. She'd rather eat them.

Zach concentrating.

Finished batch

Easter morning began with Easter baskets

Then an egg hunt out back. I didn't get any good pictures of the girls hunting, they were too quick. Zach loved it, he especially loved it once he discovered the candy inside of the eggs. Here he is in an early morning candy induced daze. "Where's the eggs?"

Us!

Each of the kids in their Easter Sunday best.

and Zach

After church service there was an egg hunt for the kids. They turned in their eggs for a prize and I thought Zach was so cute. He booked it over to the table and handed his bucket over. He knew what he was doing. I don't think they could even see him down there.

We then went over to my mom's for a big family dinner and another egg hunt. They were pros at this by then, Haylee even found the giant egg. She scored $20!
