Easter!!

With the extent of my horrible blogging as of late, I think we should all be impressed that I am putting up Easter pictures before even a week has gone by!  Proud of myself. :)

Reagan had Friday off of school, plus we had an extra treat that Grammy and Poppy were here, so we had a fun day that included coloring eggs.  Whoever came up with putting the eggs in a wire whisk is a pure genius.

 On Sat, we had family photos made that morning.  The girls wore their Easter dresses for the pictures, which turned out to be the only pictures I have of them.  Our battery was dead on Sunday morning after taking all of these photos, so there were no pics on Sun.  I hope the photographer got some good ones... anxious to see them!

Saturday afternoon fun:

Aunt Mary baked cookies for the kids to decorate outside after the egg hunt.

 Uncle Kyle getting spiffy for the big event... wearing fleece.

 Ready or not, here they come!!!

 They made a mad dash.  This is the only photo I have that contains all the "big" kids while hunting.

 Poppy was Brooklyn's wingman.

I love this action shot of Reagan and Austin, mid-sprint.

 Etta's first egg hunt!  I love this picture... "GIMME!"

 She doesn't look too impressed with the contents.

 Brookyln on the move.  I see this picture and stop to MARVEL at how much God has done for her.  There was a time we thought egg hunts weren't possible.... melts my heart to see her RUNNING!

 Beautiful girl.

 I guess Mary wanted to make sure that Etta could find one herself... so she bought an ostrich easter egg!  :)

 See?!  Brooklyn kept her Poppy close-by. 

Etta and her giant Easter Bunny.

 Not sure she really needed much help!

 Happy cousins.

 Brooklyn thought she was gonna "help" Etta with her big egg...

 ... Etta gave that a "no thank you."

 Cookie decorating time!!!

 Brooklyn was INTENSE with her icing and decor.  It gets even more interesting...

 Reagan and her bunny cookie.

Cutie kids.  Brook's lips crack me up.

 So dainty and cute, right??

 Then she found the sprinkles...

 Mouthful.  :)

 Then the kids discovered those brightly colored eggs in the centerpiece were confetti eggs.  Austin made the first strike!

 R was out for revenge!  :)

 Then Grammy was a victim!!

Even Etta got hit!

 Jonathan had TOO much fun getting Aunt Jodi!  It was really cute, and I was COVERED.  :)

 And Brook joined in.  :)

 This face describes the day:

 Reagan did some special bonding with Baby Etta this weekend... melts me. 

 The confetti in those curls also melts me!

 Then, Brook was back to her cookie. 

Check out the mountain of sprinkles:

At this point, might as well just eat the sprinkles straight....  Silly girl.

 Reagan and her fascination with roly polys.

 Hugging their habitat.  :) I convinced her to let them go and not take them home in my van.  I mean, we have our own roly polys at home.  These needed to stay at Aunt Mary's house and not die in the jar...

 Easter morning, opening their baskets.  Right before the death of the camera battery.  ;)

Presently, I have Reagan home sick from school on field trip day.  Such a sad day to get the pukes!!  Hopefully it is short lived so we can go to Disney on Ice in the morning!  Pics to come (hopefully!)
