Easter 2009!

It started on Thursday with an Easter Egg Hunt at preschool. Haylee was so excited to find the eggs that the Easter Bunny had hidden, she was the first one out the door!

"one side, please, one side... comin' through... step aside, please"

There was lots of hootin' and hollerin' as the kids found all of the eggs...there was approx. 100 eggs hidden for Haylee's class.

As the hunt wound down, they all gathered in for a class picture.

Have you ever seen cuter kids?

Then Saturday we were invited over to the Pascal's home for a BBQ that broke out into another egg hunt! Woo Hoo! There was crafts, play time, excellent food and lots of fun!

craft time! all the kids were up for that!

relaxing after all of the excitement!

And lots of pictures! I am getting ready to take a picture of Christina and Joe Weeks when all of a sudden... BOING!... up pops Rick (dare I say...like a bunny) in the background as I snap the picture!

Way to go, buddy!

But Christina wasn't about to let that slide...

"PAYBACK!"

We ended on Easter Sunday. The girls woke up to find baskets that the Easter Bunny had left...they each had books, a chocolate bunny and another little trinket or two. They then donned their Easter finery and we were off to church.

Because, after all the eggs and chocolate, isn't this what it's really all about?

Happy Easter! He is Risen!
