Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter including finally getting a nice sunny day. Holidays are so fun and I've decided to throw all of our pictures into this blog for the sake of our family albumn. The kids looked so cute in their new little green church outfits. Mackayla was so excited to wear her hat. We had a hard time getting a good picture, as you can see in the second picture below.

This is one of Bradley's favorite pastimes

Cute kids!
I had intentions of trying to make one of those bunny bread things and making a lemon meringue pie, but things have been so busy and I was tired so that didn't happen. The pie will come later this week because I still want one, but the bunny bread will have to wait until next year :) I did manage to put together a decent Easter meal, though, that we enjoyed as a family.


The following pictures are from Easter morning.
M & B checking out their baskets. Mackayla was so excited to get her favorite book "Pinkalicious" since we can never find it in the library anymore. Jared spent a good portion of his day reading her that book over and over. Bradley was just so excited about all the candy.
This was a particularly good morning since we didn't hear a peep from either of the kids all night until 7am!

Easter Baskets ready and waiting (the night before). My old bunny, Easter, got to join the festivities as well.
Coloring eggs Saturday night. We didn't do all that many eggs because I always seem to end up eating them all by myself but this year the kids loved them and I definitly could have done more. Jared likes hard boiled eggs but he will only eat them if I peel it for him.

Saturday morning we had the annual neighborhood Easter egg hunt to go to. The kids had a blast, and got a lot of candy!
The one thing about moving to a new house that Mackayla has been excited about is getting to paint her room pink. She was DELIGHTED to get to help Dad yesterday. We spent the afternoon yesterday, between festivities, working over there. They painted a little blue in the boys' room as well.
We set up a little bed place in the house and Bradley enjoyed a good nap while they painted and I cleaned.

We've spent a few evenings over at the house this last week working on things. This is how we've done dinner; sitting on a blanket where our table will be. Mackayla and Bradley love having picnic dinners.
We hope you all had a wonderful Easter!

What beautiful children you have! They looked so cute in the new Easter outfits.
The house looks so much better with that pink wall. Mackayla did a good job painting!
Happy Easter!!!

So, did you paint only one wall in Mackayla's room? Same for the boys room? Your kids are cute and getting big. What a lovely waffle breakfast and Lovely Easter dinner you had. The kids sure did get a lot of stuff! Lucky kids!

That was a serious Easter! Holy Smokes, stuffed to the brim! We need to make sure we get your Easter bunny to our house next year...it looked like fun. :) Everyone looked so lovely and how fun to just hang out at your new house. It looks great!

Good to see that Easter the bunny is still around.
Can't wait to see more pictures of your house.
You might want to tell Bradley that socks and sandles are a fashion no no. I know he's really into that type of things.
