Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! The Easter bunny stayed up late preparing for Easter morning! Too much Easter candy was consumed in the process.


The kids woke up and found some Easter eggs on the stairs and leading all the way to their Easter baskets! Madeleine was so excited that the Easter bunny had left her a hula hoop! So fun! She quickly tossed it aside though when she saw the candy. She could care less about the cool sticker book too....oh no, we were all about the gummy bears and chocolate. Go figure. Braden received some new bath toys and had a ball in the tub that morning!

Madeleine did get excited about the t-ball set she received! Braden will like it one day too! Madeleine has two little friends who are currently playing t-ball so now she is showing some interest. We played outside all day with her new t-ball set and she's pretty good!

We headed over to my parents house to celebrate Easter. They had a fun egg hunt set-up for the kids! Thanks Mom & Dad!

Braden was mostly interested in climbing up and down the stairs. He showed no interest in any of the eggs!

Ethan, Zach & Kim also celebrated Easter with us. He was pretty good at finding the eggs!

This past week was Spring Break for Madeleine's school so we were busy all week doing lots of Easter themed projects which of course included dying lots and lots of eggs! We had our neighbor over for our first round of coloring eggs. Madeleine LOVES Avery! 

We had beautiful weather this Easter! We lucked out two years in a row! I remember a few years ago when Madeleine was literally wearing her snowsuit to hunt eggs. We were invited to a friends house who has an enormous back yard for an egg hunt. Madeleine hunted while Braden was more interested in the grass...this was his first time sitting in grass! He could care less about any eggs. After the hunt, the kids did a series of Easter themed games. So much fun! Thank you Derstadt family!!!

Braden barely sits still for us to take any pictures. Here he is trying to eat one of the eggs...a classic shot of Braden :)
