What an Easter week it has been! Alex kicked it off with a party at preschool. The one-and- only Easter Bunny made an appearance while the kids were collecting eggs! (Most of the kids had it figured out that it wasn't the "real" Easter Bunny. It was quite funny!)
This is Alex and his friend Drake hanging out at the preschool party!
The next activity was decorating eggs! The kids LOVED this....the colors, the "magic crayon", the glitter, the stickers, and of course eating at least one egg!
On Friday we rolled the eggs! We have a tradition of going to the sand hills in Fayette. The guys build a really cool track for the eggs to follow. You can see eggs rolling down in the sand ditch. It is the perfect place for egg rolling!
Madison always has a hard time rolling her eggs....they are way to special for her to just roll down a dirty hill :) She would roll about two at a time and then run down to the bottom to find them, clean them off, and bring them back up for another roll.
Alex and Kevin watched as the eggs roll by.
Lane got right in to the action. Here he is asking Cami if she approves of his choice of egg to roll.
After egg rolling the kids got to "sand-surf." They stood on this large belt and had a 4-wheeler pull them around in the sand. They had a blast. Above is Alex, Cami, and Kort.
This is Madison, Keyera, and Kevin. Keyera's Grandpa Randy is the one who invented this idea! He is the one on the wheeler. Thanks Randy!
Madison, Keyera, and Kevin attempt to keep their balance as the wheeler pulls them away!
Saturday morning started off with rain. It is a good thing Grandma Barb brought over new rain boots for the kids! What a perfect Easter present! Saturday afternoon we went over to Sandra's. She took the kids on a treasure hunt around her house. At the end was a Easter bag full of good stuff! I didn't have my camera over there that day. My kids sure are blessed to have such wonderful grandparents.
Easter morning was filled with an egg hunt around the house, lots of candy, and of course church. I tried my best to get a photo of them all dressed up. Lane's tie is a little of center but at least they are all looking at the camera with half way descent smiles :)
After church we headed out to the Plum Patch at the farm for our annual Easter picnic. There was more eating, egg hunting, a softball game, egg "throwing", 4 wheeling, and visiting around the fire. It was a perfect Easter day spent with family and friends.
Grandpa just hit the ball as Madison takes off from first base!!
Madison made contact with the ball -- go girl!
Lane required some assistance from Gramps.
Between innings, AJ climbed a tree!
We didn't roll eggs this time, we CHUCKED them! If you look closely you can see the eggs flying through the air!
1, 2, 3 throw!!
Daddy's girls! Jaydee and Maddie resting by the fire with their dads.
Joyce, Zoe, AJ, and Jill. They made the visit clear from California just for this Easter picnic! We are so happy they did!
Chloe, Maddie, and my Dad at the end of the day -- Thanks Dad for providing such fun Easter festivities at the farm!
On to the next celebration!
Sorry Mom, don't watch! :)
