Easter!!

Striking a pose in her new sunglasses - styling!

What do I get into first??

The girls were very excited about Easter and even said it was better than Christmas, which I am sure will change when Christmas is closer, but for now Easter is their favorite holiday. They said they get their baskets and to hunt eggs! Well we got up and had to see what that Easter Bunny left and they were very happy with their baskets. New kites, chalk, bubbles, jump ropes were some of the highlights and of course some candy!! Then it was time to hunt eggs, which I have to laugh because Gretchen is all about finding them as quickly as possible while Delaney is more like I get how many and is slow, but sure, no biggie I am guaranteed how many is more the attitude? Hillarious how different they are.

We then went to church in our dressed up attire, which I have to say is something special in itself since our church is very casual and friendly - don't have a church or looking you should give it a try!

Then we went to Easter with my parents. We ate and the kids, including Travis' and his fiances' 3 kids, which happen to be stair steps with my kids, Gretchen will be 8, Kylee just turned 7, Ashlyn will be 6 this month and then Costas and Delaney will be 5 in October like a week apart. So for this it was color coated and you each had 6 eggs. Gretchen did not want any help and was like "That is not your egg put it down" if anyone touched her blue eggs, even if they were just trying to help. And Delaney is just ho hum walking around no big hurry looking for her purple or pink eggs(can't remember what was her color). And then they checked out their goods and played, until the play time had to end because everyone needed to get to bed for back to school on Monday!

Whew I do sometimes wish Spring Break would be the week after Easter or at least that Monday because it is a little crazy getting off the sugar high and Sprink Break/Easter high to go back to school, but we made it and getting back into routine.
