Easter 2016

It was Annie's first Easter!

We celebrated with plenty of get-togethers with family.  There were also egg hunts aplenty.

Shorty's house on a chilly Sunday afternoon:

Second cousins?  Nora, Eli, Vince, Cohen, Blake, Vera, Scarlett.  Missing Amelia, Annie and Beau.

Vince knew just what to do.

Eli & Vince: partners in crime.  They're about 4 weeks apart and nothing alike!  :)

We celebrated birthdays at the Pearson Easter.  Bailey is six, Vera five, Blaire one, and Adam 35!

Mindy brought these super cute (and super delish) cakes!

No birthday for Vince, but he is sure not to be left out of anything.  Par for the course.

A backpack and lunch box from Brian.  Woohoo!

An "office" from Grammy & Papa...with real telephones.

As usual, bunches of outtakes precede this.

Cracks me up how he holds on to his basket.

"Open this gate!  Open this gate!"

Basketful of treats.

Easter Bunny left surprises for Easter morning.

Paw Patrol pups, summer sandals, sunglasses, headbands, bath toys and candy!

Nothing like enjoying your Easter surprises in Christmas jammies.

Candy for breakfast.

We took the whole crew to church on Easter Sunday.  It was standing room only.  It worked out that we sat in folding chairs in the back of church.  It gave the kids a little more room to move, and less of a distraction for the people around us.  After church, I wanted to take a nice picture of the kids in their clothes, but as you can see, it was an epic fail.  I gave up after 3 shots.  #momdisappointment

Easter Sunday was a beautiful day.  We had no family parties to attend, so we spent the day at home working outside, playing and enjoying the beautiful day.
