Easter...finally

First of all, sorry it's been SO long since I've blogged.  We've had a lot of nights lacking in sleep lately, and I've been unmotivated to blog after the kids go to bed.  I'm sure many of you have been just DYING to know about our Easter (who isn't, really?), so here you go:)

The Easter celebration started with an egg hunt at school for the girls.  It was SUPER cold and started raining right in the middle of it, but none of the kids seemed to mind (although Seth and I did). 

I almost got a picture with the Jose the llama in the back, but he moved when the girls ran over there (he's a bit skittish).

On Saturday we went to an Easter egg hunt at a local church.  As we were driving in, we saw the Easter bunny, and Seth burst into tears.  I don't really understand why it seems to be impossible to make a cute Easter bunny costume.  Bunnies are awfully cute.  Anyway, after that, Seth was very concerned about running into the bunny, and was on the lookout the whole time!

We are ready to go hunting, and we'll use our baskets as umbrellas if it rains!

Seth didn't know what an egg hunt was, but he was ready!

That scary bunny!

On the look-out for the scary bunny!

 

We met "auntie neighbor Katie" there, and she and Abby made Easter bonnets.  Katie can pretty much make ANYTHING.  She's amazing (and was incredibly helpful to have with us at the hunt).

Look in Haley's basket...I was watching her pass multiple eggs, and was trying to figure out what she was doing.  When I caught up with her to take this picture, I realized that she was going for the pink ones!

Happy with their baskets full of eggs:)

Our "family pic" after the egg hunt.  Abby is pouting just off to my right!

It was a good thing that we went to the hunt on Saturday, because Easter was really not "Easter-y".  It was rainy and dreary.  The kids all had gross runny noses, so they had to stay home from the worship gathering at our church.  But, they did still get their Easter baskets!

I put these organic, all fruit, fruit by the foot sort of things in there, and Abby laughed and laughed with glee when she unrolled hers and saw how long it was!

After naps, we went to my parents' house, where a couple dear friends (Auntie Laura and Auntie neighbor Katie), and Carey's parents and sister joined us for a delicious Easter dinner.
