Easter

Whew! Between "Spring parties" in each of the kid's classes, Easter celebrations and working on a few projects for Cameron's class, time flies!  Here is remaining of our Easter festivites.  I'm so bummed I didn't get a picture of our Resurection Garden with the stone rolled away.  Timo and Cameron were so excited to wake up and see if Jesus had Risen! But duty of hosting and cooking a big meal kinda took my focus of grabbing the camera...But I did remember to get a family one in the afternoon...

Anyways...we continued our traditions on Saturday night with coloring eggs.  We used this glitter kit I bought on clearance last year.  Let me just say, glitter, never again.  The eggs came out pretty but so did our table, chairs, floor, socks, etc.  But we had some nice eggs to show for it and also fit in some festive rice krispie treats for lunch the next day.

Easter morning was a busy one.  Young was singing a special song in the choir and had to be at church at 8am for rehearsal.  Luckily the kid's internal holiday clock woke them up super early Sunday morning and we squeezed in Easter Baskets before we had to head out for church.  The twins have eyed these carrots at IKEA for over a year, every time we go they fall in love with them.  I wish I would have caught their excitement over seeing them on video.  Pure joy!

But after the carrots, Timo discovered his water gun and Cameron her Frozen t-shirt.  Best Easter Bunny Ever!

After church we had some friends over for lunch and our annual egg hunt.  Timo ran out, found about five eggs and was done.  Wonder if he's getting too old?  He just wanted to play with his new water gun...boys! Cameron found a few but then concentrated on helping Evie and Maddie find eggs.

After lunch was made and the kids were taken care of, all the adults sat around for hours, just eating and relaxing.  We could't believe how well all the kids were getting along together with out any adult intervention. It wasn't until Maddie came in a asked for a snack that we realized it was 5:00 and almost dinner time again! It was really a sweet peaceful day!
