The kiddos got up early to find eggs....wanna see them? Sure you do! I apologize for my shaky hand...if you get dizzy, you may not want to watch! It's long and boring, so you won't hurt my feelings if you don't watch!
Of course, my camera stopped as soon as we were getting to the good stuff...I asked the kids what the "real" meaning of Easter is. Reminding them that it isn't just about finding eggs and getting baskets. Maggie responded, "Jesus got out from that big rock and went to heaven...it was a miracle!" Max said, "he died on the cross"...."nope, that was Friday...buddy, but good try!"
Church was beautiful, all the Easter lilies totally get me in "spring mode!" I love seeing them all and reading who donated them and who they are honoring. Maggie and Max always get one in honor of their Nana. Oh how we miss her, especially on these special days. We had a little egg hunt during Sunday School and by little I mean 1700 eggs....(yes, 1700...not all 1700 are in this picture, obviously!) That's a lot of eggs! Since it was muddy...the "guys" just put them out in the driveway. The kids totally didn't care...they just wanted all the candy inside!
We came home to rest for a bit before we headed out for our traditional Easter dinner at Fairview Farms. It's always great to see everyone, eat some great food and get totally stuffed.... and the kids always have so much fun when we are together.
We are on spring break this week, so I hope to be able to do some fun things with the kids this week. We are doing a "staycation"...love that word! So stayed tuned for some exciting pictures of blanket forts, pancake breakfasts, and wearing jammies all day!
Oh, by the way, anyone have any great ideas for 18 (I mean 17 ...I forgot the Easter bunny ate one!) hard-boiled eggs? They are totally stinkin up my fridge!

Great Easter pics! Love them!!! Enjoy your "staycation!" Ours was last week and believe me we took full advantage of staying in jammies all day!!! As for the 18 eggs- deviled eggs is my best advice! Have a great week!!!
i still have your video playing on my google reader...so cute hearing your kids/your voice! it has reminded me of our old family videos where my sister and i were just about knocking each other out and fighting over finding the eggs.
would you believe we didn't color eggs? i've seriously avoided it and my AJ keeps asking when we are going to. i hate dealing with the gazillion hard boiled eggs left over. but i can make a mean egg salad sandwich...and they'd be colorful. yeah, still not doing it!! ☺
happy staycation.
I couldn't see the video, but love your cute picture! The kids (so well coordinated, BTW) look adorable. So glad you had a great day.
My girlfriend is getting me a recipe from her Grandmother for hard boiled egg cookies. She says they sound awful but taste very good. I'll share it with you when I get it. We have some eggs to use up, too!
Love your family picture! Very nice!
I tossed my eggs when no one was looking, problem solved. =)
