easter 2011 will go down as one of the best! :) what an amazing weekend the kids have had! :) the fun started friday afternoon with the "peeping" and continued through the weekend! the kids LOVED coloring eggs this year and were so much more independent! it was fun to watch ken and mck coming up with designs for their eggs . . . while kam and b.c. just loved that they got to be involved! :) the kids woke up easter morning to eggs in their slippers . . . build-a-bear gift cards for the girls (yes, i am a glutton for punishment) and a bulldozer car for b.c.! :) then it was downstairs for easter basket opening . . . holy crow. it was almost christmas! :) buckets of goodies from us including new towels and bathing suits . . . and baskets with goodies from mr. e.b. himself! :) wow. these kids are spoiled! :) then it was outside for easter egg hunting. NO ONE needed help. we just got to point out the occasional missed egg. . . and stand back and watch them having fun! this year the eggs were filled with money, hair "goodies", fruit snacks, and gum . . . we were candied out from the peeping! :) we had a confetti egg fight and just enjoyed the morning! :)
then it was time to get dressed up and head to . . . a baseball game! :) the kids had a great time, but it sure was HOT! :) we sat on the grass, walked around a lot, and just enjoyed the day! :) then it was dinner out (yay! no cooking!) and some time at home to relax. what a perfect day!
omg. this was the coolest thing ever! some sweet friends and their bible study group "peeped" our yard . . . covering it with more than 1000 peeps, 300 eggs and more than 15 pounds of candy! it was CRAZY but so wonderful! :) the kids were in heaven. ken tried to collect as much as she could, mck looked for things she would like (purple peeps!), kam jusst enjoyed grabbing and eating as much as possible, and b.c. tried to look sneaky as he pulled peeps up and ate them right off the stick! even rocky, s'mores, and cooper got in on the treats! :) what an amazing afternoon! :) this is something the kids will talk about for a very long time! thanks miss j and miss b! we love you! :)
