Easter Sunday

Every year when Easter comes it feels like spring has finally sprung. Easter has always been one of my favorite holidays because it is usually so quiet, laid back, and spent with a lot of family (the best part). Saturday we hosted the Simpers for the annual Egg Hunt and dinner. It was a blast! The kids played together very well and the adults were able to visit and laugh a lot, we always have such a great time.
On Sunday the boys were able to search for their Eater Basket lute the the kind Easter Bunny has left for them and then we put on our Easter best and were off to church with the Meyers. After church we had our annual brunch that is always filled with a lot of great food, good visiting, and hundreds of friendly games of Gin.
It seems like spring is the perfect time for Easter. We have a chance to celebrate the wonderful meaning of the season and it feels like spring finally has a chance to shine in all of it's glory. Now bring on the flowers and the 70 degree weather, please!

Here we are conducting a little science experiment. Thanks Josh for the dry ice and Miriam for the root beer. By-the-way, dry ice does not make soda more fizzy, it actually takes the fizz away. Disgusting but funny.

All of the cousins at the starting line of the Egg Hunt.
Preston is diligently looking for eggs.
Trevor is supposed to leave the easy ones for the little kids and look for the hard ones.

Danny and a lot of cousins investigating their treasures.

The boys waiting patiently before beginning the hunt for their baskets in the morning.

Checking out all of the goodies.

Oh, aren't they handsome! There is nothing better than boys wearing ties.

I have 3 inch heels on and still look short and stubby next to Justin. I just can't win. At least Justin looks good.

Short maybe, stubby - definitely not! You look great! You're boys are quite handsome. I cant believe how tall Trevor is getting. He is starting to look so grown up!
