Easter 2010

We had a great, fun-filled Easter weekend with family. Friday started off with an Easter Egg Hunt at Claire's daycare (which unfortunately I had to miss but James took a few pictures so I could see all the cute kids hunting for eggs). When we all arrived home that afternoon my parents had already made it to our house for the weekend. We played outside, ate dinner and waited for Aunt Debbie, Uncle Chad, Abby & Walter to get there too. Claire was too excited and fell asleep 30 minutes before they arrived, but she was super happy to have everyone at our house the next morning.

Saturday morning, James & Chad went to play golf while the rest of us ate a huge breakfast and played. Abby showed us her new cheerleading moves from school while Claire and Walter ran around trying to copy what she did. After we were all finally dressed for the day, Deb and I decided to go run a few quick errands which turned into a 4 hour shopping trip....lucky for us Grandma and Grandpa enjoyed the play time with the grandkids. Later that night we stuffed ourselves with a delicious meal from the grill - steak, chicken & shrimp and dyed Easter Eggs for our contest and hunt the next day. We then tried to get everyone to bed early to see what the Easter Bunny might bring.

Our newest cheerleader.....yay kindergarten!

And I almost forgot.....waiting for the ice cream truck!

We all scream for Ice Cream!

The Easter Bunny was certainly good to the kids, and the adults were able to enjoy some of the candy too!

Sunday morning we woke up early and attended a wonderful service at church. We took pictures in front of the beautiful flower cross and then rushed home to cook lunch. James' parents joined us for lunch and it was delicious. After we were all good and full it was time for the Easter Egg Hunt.....James hid all the eggs including the $10 GOLDEN EGG!! The kids could barely contain themselves and finally the hunt began. All were found except for the golden egg....James kept giving hints and eventually pretty much just pointed it out to Abby & Claire....Abby kept the $$ and Claire kept the egg....both girls were happy and Walter had already started swinging by this point and didn't care either way. We always have such a good time when family is in town and it was great spending the entire day with everyone and celebrating Jesus' resurrection.

The golden egg is definitely in this direction...

good hiding job.....do you see it??
