Easter Celebrations

We did our annual dinner & Easter egg coloring at our house this year with the Hansen Family.  The kids colored 5 dozen eggs again.  Nothing too creative or spectacular this year but still lots of fun together.

Dustin had a campout Friday night so the girls and I all did matching toe nails. :) 

Saturday we did our annual Easter celebrations at my parents house.  We met at Hong Kong for lunch and then went to mom and dads for moms egg hunt.  Here she is explaining the rules again to all the kids.

The 3 little girls went first - 10 eggs, 4 prizes. 

Next was the 4 bigger girls.  11 eggs - 4 prizes.  

And then the really big kids.  We each found 10 eggs and a bag of candy.  Sad Dustin missed it all this year but we left the eggs for him to find when he got there.

My cute brother and sister in law with her prego belly.  Heidi is looking about the same right now.  :)  Can't wait for the other 2 baby boys to get here and play with Lincoln.

My good mom & dad.  They are always so good to us.

I packed Lincoln around all weekend in this pouch to avoid any kid contact. (and adult contact for that matter)  I just want to keep him safe from germs!

The 4 older girls got a kite as a prize and Jeremy was keeping it flying with his foot while everybody was kicked back visiting.

I didn't prepare any special outfits for the girls but had these newer matching dresses we got at Costco and just had them wear them.  They were cute as pie.  We even clipped Lincoln's little tie on his only solid colored onsie. :)  Sure do love these babies!

The girls are not quite as obsessed with holding him, but still ask about 10 times a day.  Molly especially just has to kiss him on the head.  She would kiss my belly on a daily basis too.  She just loves her baby brother.

And the only picture I could get.. sad my 3 year old took it and cut my head off.  I wanted one with all the family, but we just didn't have enough time. 

Dad and the baby boy.  :)  Love it! 

We went to the cemetery before church to take so me tulips and daffodils to grandpa David's grave.  Easter has certainly become more personal to us in the last few years.  So grateful for the Savior and his life, atonement and resurrection.  We are so blessed with this knowledge and testimony.  

I just went to sacrament again with Lincoln and snuck out (and took a nap and avoided germs) while the rest of the family stayed at church.

After church we headed go grandma Carol's house for dinner and more egg hunting.  Uncle Devin is the most excited about this every year.  His kids are all grown and grandkids don't live here so he has fun playing with the kids.  He sneaks the eggs out of their bucket when they are not looking and re hides them so the hunt lasts a really long time.

Apparently Ella thought there was a bunch up in this tree. :)

The pink egg in the tree is an empty one Dustin re hid.  They were fighting over who got it and Ella got a little pushy with the boys.  She ended up getting it down but it landed it somebody else's bucket.  Pretty funny to watch these kids.  We are so blessed to live by all this family that we can get together and make memories with each holiday.  So thankful!!
