Easter 2012

Wow...lots and lots of Easter fun! It's so hard to maintain the balance between enjoying all the festivities and keeping the focus on the real reason for the holiday, especially with 3 year olds that love candy :-) We had an Easter egg party/hunt with our twin playgroup and like last year, it was great! The organizers do such a good job setting up cupcake decorating, crafts, egg dying and an awesome egg hunt with great prizes! The next day we had our Easter celebration out in our community which was a lot of fun. Face painting, balloon animals, bounce houses, petting zoo and an egg hunt...wow! To top it off we met our friends Misty and Eric and the kids' best friends, Tristan and Tyler at church on Saturday night and it was such an awesome service. After service we all came here for a yummy turkey dinner and fun playing outside until 9:30 p.m.!! We even did an egg hunt using flashlights! For Easter Grandpa Ted and Grandma Julie came with some awesome Easter baskets and we had brunch. Whew....good times! It makes me sad to think that this will be our last Easter here b/c we had so much fun celebrating with family and friends.Their Easter baskets from Grandma and GrandpaThey are the best of friends and get along so well..my kids will miss them dearly!Enjoying some dancing at the community Egg huntChecking out the goodiesCommunity egg huntCommunity egg huntGrant petting the HUGE rabbit at the community egg huntDying easter eggs in the beautiful weatherChecking out his prizes at the twin egg hunttwin egg huntall the twins lined up!!
