Easter 2011 (Catch-up post and picture overload!!)

Every Easter we try to color eggs. I have seen some people dye some really cool eggs. The ones on the packages always look awesome...somehow, ours never turn out as cool as those. But the kids love to dye them. And we all love to eat them :)
Easter morning the kids had to run around and find their Easter baskets. The Easter bunny hid them pretty good this year. Gabe and Olivia both got pillow pets. They have been wanting one for a really long time. They both use them as their pillows every night.
The girls got some church sandals and a few other things. Not sure what Kyle got! I can't remember. :)
The Saturday before Easter we were invited to the Jame's Annual Easter Egg Hunt. The kids had a fantastic time. There were over 700 eggs and 40 kids. Some had tickets in them that they got to redeem for prizes. 
There was a potluck with lots of yummy food and a Honey-Baked Ham.
This is Gabe and his friend Chase waiting for the egg hunt. They were very patient ;)

Halle braved climbing around the waterfall to get some eggs. I think this is a beautiful picture of her.
This is the attempt at getting all the kids together for one group picture. We lost some kiddos along the way.
I told Kyle that he couldn't walk home until he let me take his picture and until he smiled really nicely. Can I just say...getting a 14 year old boy to smile "normal" is absolutely impossible!
It wasn't until I surprised him that I got his true smile.

We had Easter Dinner at our house with the James' and the Lauritzen's. Good food and wonderful friends make a great combo. Thanks for sharing Easter with us!

Such great kids! I know that someday I will get a good picture of all five of these kids! They are such a good lookin' bunch :)
