Easter Morning 2011

Here are the kids right before church today.

(um no despite the begging I did not let the girls wear their shades to church)

Yes my youngest is going to out weigh my oldest in no time!

He looks enormous on her :)

The kids started out the morning on a HUNT for their baskets....Tate's was finally found in the coat closet, Brecken's was in the safe, and Avery's was in the Oven. My kids Love this tradition. They also love to brag about their clever seeking and taunt the Easter Bunny to make it harder each year.

Each Easter basket had a special envelope that held a piece to the puzzle they had to put together.

Here's what they read when they put it together.

Crew was chillin just as happy as can be watching the older kids squeal and giggle.

They took off trying to spot their big gift....

Then they decided it was too cold and they wanted their coats...

Finally, they spotted what the Easter bunny had left...

This picture describes the moment perfectly!!

NEW BABY BUNNIES!!

The kids brought them in on a blanket and played with them for awhile before church.

Brecken named hers Ginger... then changed it to Hopper.

Tate named his Mid-night....then changed it to Rocky....

and has now changed it yet again to Mud-cat.

Avery named hers Snowflake...then found out it was a boy,

so she opted for a more masculine name and changed it to Whitey!

The kids were so surprised and so excited. They know I'm not an animal person and they realize how lucky they are that the Easter Bunny brought them a pet. Since they know I would never ever give them one!
