Easter

We had a great Easter this year. London and Jacob both understood what was going on, and Joseph was just happy to be a part of all the action. We had fun dieing eggs. We only had one accident with die getting on London's shirt. I think that Jacob and Joseph mostly liked playing with the eggs while they were in there die bath.



The kids stood patiently behind there baskets so that I could get a picture. The Easter Bunny found some great stuff at the dollar store to fill the baskets with. I think the favorite item was the pinwheel. They can also be used as a wand. The kids are still carrying them all around the house. They even wanted to take them to the grocery store today. I was a mean Mom and only let them have one piece of candy each on Easter since they were just getting over a bout of diarrhea. Thank heavens they are all feeling better now.


After breakfast Uncle Drake and Daddy went out and hid all the eggs. Aunt Brenda tried to help Guinevere find some eggs, but I think she just wanted to go inside and take a nap.

London was very proud that she was big enough to reach some of the eggs hidden in the trees.

Jacob on the other hand had to have a lift up from Uncle Drake.

There was a whole section of the grass that was devoted to Joseph. The eggs were more or less just laying in plane sight for him to pick up. After he got the point he even found some of the "hidden" eggs in the bushes.

It was a great time had by all. I am glad we live near family so that we can all enjoy the holidays together.

Try living near THIS family and we'll show you some fun! :)

I'm changing my mind as Gwen grows -- I no longer think she's looking like Joseph. She's looking unlike any of your other kids to me! Can't wait to meet her in person!

Gwen is getting so big and changing so fast. I wish we were closer so we could see everyone more often!
