Easter Saturday

March 30, 2013

Easter weekend is one of my favorite weekends of the year.  To me it means the beginning of spring, the beginning of something new, a fresh start.

We were so lucky to spend that Saturday celebrating with the Paltes, who were gracious enough to open their home to us, brand new baby and all, so our kids would have a place to enjoy Easter.  Thank you, thank you, thank you, sweet Paltes.  You guys are family to us.

We did crafts, ate lunch, played, and held Elizabeth.  It was perfect.

This cookie cake was almost as cute as Elizabeth.  No, we didn't make it, but we were darn good at eating it.

We're disgusting.

Can someone please tell me why I chose to give the kids the blue frosting side?

Blue frosting soaked into the kids' lips and fingers, and they were on one serious sugar high, so it was time for...the EASTER EGG HUNT!!!

So excited!

It was so fun watching four kids hunt for all those eggs.

As usual, the Easter egg hunt was over in a flash, and then the kids got busy opening their eggs to see what treats were hidden inside.

Then everyone was all smiles as we finished our day off with lots of silly playing.

There were casualties along the way, but not to worry, Emily took care of her sister's boo boo.

Sweetest sisters ever.

Elizabeth loved the festivities.

Chris got a burst of energy and decided to throw the kids around the yard.

Addison pleaded with Mark to make her fly.

She won.

Easter egg hunt carnage.

Happy spring!
