Easter Wrap Up 2010!

Easter weekend proved to be jam packed with fun and most importantly-family!! We were all able to go down to Grandma Brenda's for the weekend. Talk about a full house! Saturday afternoon we drove out to Aunt Diane's and Uncle Norm's to see all the cousins. There's nothing quite like the fun you can find out in the country. It helped bring back all the wonderful memories of when we were kids and every week we would alternate between their house and ours; and we always managed to find something fun to do! Well, in this case, our children were no different. On Saturday it happened to be a huge mud puddle in Aunt Diane's and Uncle Norm's driveway. Talk about cheap (oh, and did I mention dirty!!) entertainment!

Notice Drew's pants! It's safe to say he took full advantage of the carefree bliss you find while jumping in muddy water!

This little guy (thanks goodness) never found the mud hole. Instead, he was perfectly content playing with all the dogs and trucks!

Unfortunately, we never did get all the cousins together for a group picture. Almost an impossible task with 11 children 6 years old and younger! I was able to quick snap a pic of Collin and Tyson in between mud hole hopping! And as you can see, Aiden found a pretty good friend in Buddy while we were there!

When we got back to grandma's on Saturday evening it was time for some Easter egg coloring. The little guys weren't all that interested, but the big guys got the job done!

This is what Aiden was doing while the rest of us were in the kitchen on egg duty. I'm not quite sure what you would call this game. Who knew that smelling your dad's feet could be so much fun!!

Sunday morning we again attempted the near impossible with some group pics! This is the best we could do!

The little guys were having no part of it. The minute we would sit them up on the couch they started in with the screaming and crying.

Mom and her 3 girls. We were so big-not one of us threw a fit while getting our picture taken! HA!

Sisters and best friends forever!!

I snuck this pic while the boys were chillin watchin cartoons waiting to go to church!

Backing up to Saturday- the boys had been playing Wii all day, so by Saturday night they put on quite the concert. Spencer loves the Beatles, and it was so cute watching them sing and play their little hearts out!

Not to be outdone-the adults had to try and compete. Sadly, though, the younger generation had no problem takin' them to school! It was sure entertaining to watch, though!

Back to Easter morning...

The Easter Bunny brought Tyson a new bike, and boy was he excited! (after he actually realized it was for him!) He walked by it several times before we finally told him we thought the bike was for him since it was next to his Easter basket!!

The Easter bunny had the difficult duty of hiding over 60 eggs!! All the boys worked together and thankfully found all the eggs. It took Aiden a little while to warm up to the idea, but in the end he was running around picking up eggs with the big kids!

Sunday afternoon we headed to the front yard for a good old fashioned egg hunt before heading back home! Needless to say, it was early to bed on Sunday to try and recover from the busy weekend!
