Easter Fun

We had lots of fun this Easter! It started with an egg hunt at the Embassy on the 27th.

They got lots of candy and had a great time.

Then on Friday the 2nd we dyed eggs.

On Saturday the 3rd we had our Easter celebration and dinner with our friends the Godwin's and Erin and Jamie with their girls Delaney and Amelia. It was a great day. We started out with an egg hunt in our garden.

We must have hid at least 75 eggs out there, probably closer to 100!

The kids were so excited and were absolutely going crazy running around and grabbing the eggs.

Sydney was the oldest, but still not tall enough to get some of the eggs we hid.

Clearly I didn't hide that one, I don't even think I could reach that! HA! Good thing her Daddy Stew was here, he can reach anything!

(I think he is like 6'7" or something ridiculous like that!) After they found all the eggs they got to come inside and check out their loot.

After all that fun we let them play and run off that sugar high while we got dinner together. There were no hams to be had this year so we decided to keep it simple and stress free and grill out. Everyone brought their own meat to grill and a side dish to share. It was perfect and low stress for everyone. Jamie brought desert and had made these yummy cupcakes that looked like Easter baskets. The kids LOVED them!

And this is what happens when a sugar high turns into a sugar low!
