Easter 2011

On Friday, I had my sisters, Austynn, and the Cooks over to dye eggs. All the girls had fun doing their half and half eggs. The Cooks brought some stickers for their eggs and Austynn used a paint brush for the details on her eggs. We finished with no major accidents and before it got too hot out!! It was a good time.

This Easter we made it to both families. We started off at my parents. The Cooks, The Lennons, and Aunt Laurie were there too! We ate hambugers and hotdogs. The kids did an egg hunt and then blew the bubbles Aunt Laurie bought for them. It was fun to get to watch them be so excited when they found an egg. Kaden wouldn't pick the dollar eggs because the eggs with coins in them had more. Miss Hayden would only pick up the pink and purple ones since those were the girl eggs. Then the Cook girls were just out to find the most eggs. :) I can't wait for Paisley to get to be a part of it next year.

Didn't get to stay to long before we were off to our second go around at Josh's parents house. Grandma and Grandpa were there along with Jodie and her family and the Purvis family. It was fun to visit with all of them. We had steak and hotdogs there to eat. After lounging and visiting for a little bit, the adults filled the eggs for the kids to find. All the kids stayed inside while they hid them. The countdown started and the kids were off. We had a few upsets after because one didn't get a money egg, jake was taking candy from the baskets, candy necklaces were breaking, but after a few minutes the kids forgot about all of that. Josh and I were getting ready to leave just as they were about to dye eggs. I am sure they turned out great!

I enjoy getting to be with our families on every holiday. It doesn't have to be a holiday for us to get together either but I enjoy every minute. I am excited that Mother's Day is only a couple weeks away. More get togethers!!
