Happy Easter!

Easter Baskets - eggs ready to be hidden by the teenagers

David - just waking up from his nap for an Easter egg hunt - cuddling with Hannah.

I love this one of Monica helping Naomi put her shoes on for the egg hunt.

This picture says it all - Annamarie was so excited to get out and start hunting eggs that she could hardly stand it. This was her first-ever Easter egg hunt, after all!

Naomi and Monica listening to the egg hunt rules.

Annamarie hunting for the yellow eggs.

Naomi - hunting for the pink eggs.

David - hunting for the animal-shaped eggs.

Naomi as she found out that Michael found the special silver
egg - she was very distraught!

Hunting in the river bed - from far to near - Annamarie, Taylor (helping David), Michael, Naomi, and Monica.

Hannah helping David go through his eggs.

Annamarie tasting her first candy from her first egg. Jawbreakers are her favorite!

A hug for mom!

Well - our first Easter as a family of eight was a success. We did have one down with the stomach flu - which was NOT in the plans - poor Hayden, but the rest of the day was very nice. We had lunch with the Aydelottes - and a first egg hunt for five children. This was something to behold. They were SO excited and had so much fun! And of course, photo credit goes to Lisa once again - thanks for always making sure I have lots of great pictures, Lis!
