Easter 2014

Happy Easter!  Here are several photos from our Easter weekend festivities.  The kids had lot of fun celebrating at home and with friends for the full weekend.  As tradition has it, we started coloring Easter eggs, and each kid had their own color palette.   Below, Natalie checks out an egg in her favorite purple color...just perfect!


Amanda gives her blue one a check...nope, not ready yet!


Will just likes doing as many as he can.  He is juggling between green and orange.  This green one is really funny!


This orange one is ready!


After coloring eggs, a school classmate of Natalie and Amanda's had an Easter brunch and Easter egg hunt at their house.  The kids were so excited, especially the girls, who got to wear their beautiful new cloths.  Amanda shows hers off with a smile!  



Natalie looks good in the tree!


Will sports his handsome look in an action tricycle photo!


Will was lucky hunter and found a very large Easter egg to place inside his basket...Hee Hee!


There were lots of kids activities to keep them busy until the egg hunt start, and Will gave it a try to create some giant bubbles.  If you look closely, Will has a 3 foot bubble in front of his face that is about to pop!


Will found that bubble making works even better with a wand in each hand.


After several playing several activities, it was time for food...and boy, there was lots of good food.


Here is another beautiful portrait of Natalie.


Finally, the Easter egg hunt is about to begin!  All the kids are at the starting line ready to head up the levy hill to find all the Easter eggs lying in the grass.



Natalie is on a mission to find that golden egg!


Will too!


Amanda stops to look at a friends catch.


Immediately after the hunt, it's time to open the plastic eggs and play with the toys while eating all the yummy candy!  Will shows off his new whistle and a Hershey Kiss.



Natalie and Ava share a cupcake and a laugh.  They share laughs and smiles each and every day, and it is wonderful to see.



Easter morning is here and the crew was very exciting.  All the kids (Will is behind Amanda and would not come out for a photo) wait at the top of the stairs until the "all ready" is given for them to come down.



Once there, they were all excited to see the gifts and candy the Easter Bunny brought them.


How did the Easter Bunny know that Amanda wanted a Beanie Boo!

  

The kids inspect all the goodies in their basket.


Hey Mom and Dad,  look at what I got!


The Easter Bunny brought Natalie a Beanie Boo as well!  Imagine that...


Amanda with her new favorite "pet".


We also had an Easter egg hunt in the house, they were so fast it was difficult to capture a good photo of them in action, but we were able to take one of a kids bag full of treasure!


Amanda show off her hunting skills.


Natalie found that same purple egg she colored the prior morning...surprise surprise!


We hope that everyone had a great weekend and a wonderful Easter.  Happy Easter everyone!
