Easter Fun!

We had a fun-filled Easter weekend.  

After the traditional Easter dinner, we all headed outside to see if the Easter Bunny had stopped by...


Jack found his basket first!

Over the years, the baskets have grown...and traditions have begun! Each child gets a new swimsuit, an outfit of some sort, summer sandals/flip-flops, a chocolate bunny and some various accessories. It is so fun to see their excitement. Even the big girls are thrilled to find the basket with their name on it!

Grant was mesmerized by the whole idea!



This picture really has nothing to do with Easter.  Grant saw these shoes at Target last week, and absolutely HAD to have them.  I don't know that they've been off his feet for more than 5 minutes at a time.  He even insists on sleeping in them.  His poor toes and feet are covered in blisters, as the shoes don't breathe at all.  But that doesn't stop him!

Here's Joyce (aka "Nan") with all the kids and their baskets!

I love that the kids have to go find their baskets. That's a really cute tradition. Ours were always just in the living room. How boring is that? Looks like everyone had a great time.

i don't know how I missed this before. That's a great tradition to get a swimsuit on Easter! It's the perfect time for it! My nephew got those same shoes a year ago and he still wears them ALL the time and they are getting too small! Boys and their trucks!

Adam has the same shoes (and the same love for them). We don't see his feet much anymore either.

Very cute pictures. Glad you had a nice Easter.
