easter weekend

We started off our Easter weekend by dying eggs friday night. This was the first time we really got into decorating eggs as a family and the kids just had a blast doing this. It was so fun to watch them watch their eggs and delicately decorate them.

I loved using the whisk for the kids to dip their eggs in. Such a smart idea!

Sabrina was so excited to join in on the fun. She has become so fun to watch as she tries to be big like the boys!

We decorated an egg for everyone in our family, including the new baby on the way!

Wayne and I trying to get a pic together, which is pretty much impossible with a 50mm lens, but still fun in the making!

Saturday we drove down to Wichita to celebrate Easter early with my brother and his family. My parents were in town too spending the week with my brother so it was so fun and so nice to celebrate with a big family for change. Our first Easter with family!

They planned a fun Easter egg hunt for the kids and an even more fun Easter egg hunt for the adults. This trip was a blast for sure, followed by lots of yummy food!

Tuckered out after the egg hunt. Thanks cousin Paul for the nice comfy bed!

Sunday we woke up to eggs everywhere and Easter baskets full from the Easter bunny! The kids enjoyed all the fun treats and surprises and of course being made to sit and have their pictures taken.

And thanks to tripods and camera timers we were able to get a family shot for once!

Happy Easter from our family to yours!
