Happy Easter!

Easter was a flurry of activities for us this year. We colored eggs on Friday and we participated in our Church Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday where the kids found hidden eggs, decorated their own cookies and made crafts. Sunday both kids were up and ready to roll by 6:20AM, so away they went finding the eggs the Easter Bunny hid and checking out their Easter baskets. Later that morning, we all went to Church where Mama and Papa and Great Grandma Sandwick joined us, then it was home for a quick lunch then our street egg hunt with the neighbors.
There were about 600 eggs hidden in 4 neighbors yards for all the kids to find. The kids received way too much candy, but had a blast looking for the eggs and playing with their friends. Alex especially loved playing with his friend, Ashlynn.

Alex took a little nap to recharge, then we headed to my parents for Easter dinner and were joined by my Cousin Davie. Mom made a fantastic dinner and we enjoyed being able to spend some time with Grandma Sandwick, even though she wasn't feeling well. Mama hid some eggs for the kids to find and had Easter baskets for them with goodies. For dessert I had made an Easter bunny cake, just like my Mom used to make when we were kids. The kids had fun helping me decorate the cake.

We all had a really fun Easter weekend! Happy Easter everyone!!
