Easter 2011

For the past 3 years we have celebrated Easter with family, Janae + Jared to be specific (they have the only other kids on either side of our families) and we have an annual Easter Egg hunt for the kids. It started when Audrey and Brighton were still 1 (they were almost 2)! This was not going to be the year that we broke a tradition like that, especially with Addie and Phoenix in the mix. I told Audrey at the beginning of the week that on Friday she was going to get a surprise and that we were going somewhere. We had Audrey cover her eyes and I carried her to the door and when Brighton answered the door she was totally surprised. It was so cute to see them together again. As you may have guessed, we had an great time...

Phoenix helped himself to Addie's candy (he forgot to take the wrapper off though).




Janae had the kids help make these adorable nests (pretzels + melted white chocolate for the nest). The kids loved making them...and eating them (so did the big kids ;-) )




We finally got to try out Monkey Joes (Audrey has been wanting to for about a year now), the kids were in heaven...


Here is a flashback starting with 2008...

2010


I know the pictures aren't the best (dang camera takes about 1 in 10 semi clear pictures) but you get the idea...


We had a weekend filled with delish food, great company, seafarers of Catan (like Settlers...on acid), a little bit of Modern Family and a whole lot of fun. Thanks Janae!

I used a translator of texts to say that your family is wonderful.
