Easter cont'd

After church, we celebrated Easter with Josh's side of the family at our house.  We ate a yummy ham dinner, had an egg hunt for the kids, and just enjoyed hanging out together!

Snacking before the big meal (:

Miss Chelsea joined us, which was a lot of fun....especially for the kids! (:

The only picture I took of the "food" was of the dessert I made, blueberry pineapple crisp. (oops)  Everything else looked delicious, too! (:

Easter Sunday

It's not very often that my boys are willing to dress in nice clothes, so when they were excited to wear ties on Easter I jumped at the chance to get some family pictures.  Tate even wore a onesie with a tie sewn on it, so they all matched. (:  Of course Easter Sunday is about way more than matching outfits!  We enjoyed an awesome church service celebrating the resurrection of Jesus!

 Ronan- 6 1/2, Tate- 5 mos, Griffin- almost 4 1/2

We had some time before and after the church service to get some pictures of the rest of my family.

Easter Eggs + More!

On Saturday, April 23rd we got together with my family for Aaron's birthday and also Easter activities with my cousin, Dan, and his family (wife, Brooke, and twin daughters, Summer & Kara).  It was a full day, but lots of fun! 

Happy Birthday, Aaron!

The kids were excited to show Summer & Kara the places to explore in Memaw & Papa's backyard. (:

The youngest three got to go on an egg hunt first:

The big kids helped...

Then everyone came to our house for dinner and an egg hunt for the big kids.

Each kid had a designated color of plastic eggs to search for.

Showing off their Easter basket treasures--Ronan got a cool hat with Jolly Rogers on it. (:

To finish off the night, we sang Happy Birthday to Aaron and enjoyed a giant cookie for dessert!

Griffin & Summer

Tate napped through most of the excitement, but woke up in time to say goodbye to everyone (and find his Easter basket).
