Love New's face here. This boy was MADE for such events. His all time favorite pastime right now is cleaning up. If there's a box or bin to put things into, he'll spend an hour putting things in it. Including Beck's cars into the toy box (this usually doesn't go over real well!)
The moment Beck realized there's something in the eggs...
Attempt at a group shot. Stratton is in tears, but both the boys were/are sick, so its understandable, he was more than done at this point...
Opening eggs: Some of the eggs were filled with candy, and some were filled with fake money. My parents set up a "prize table" and the kids were able to use the fake money to buy gifts. The Kids LOVED the idea, and it kept the excitement going longer than the 5 minutes it takes to pop eggs open!
Separating out candy from money...
The prize table. The kids didn't realize, but there were four different "age groups" they could buy from. Ie: They bought all the gift my parents got them and weren't fighting. It was still funny to watch Kylie asking my dad how much certain items cost, and thinking about whether it was worth it...like they weren't going to go home with all of it in the end... =)
Draw a model book was a big hit with Ky
Beck emptying his easter basket (yes, there were baskets as well as eggs and prize table. My parents never do anything half way!!!
After he bought his fishing pole from the prize table..
Newie hanging out playing with his stuffed dog and maracas...
Ky and I on our way to service on Sunday. Please excuse the black socks and slippers, I did put on real shoes before leaving for church. J had to stay home with the boys due to some pretty nasty runny noses.
I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter! I know we did. The best part? When J asked Ky why we celebrate Easter...she knew the answer. I couldn't ask for anything more!!!
