Easter

Well, this year we had Grandma and Grandpa Montemagno from Ohio and Aunt Beth Ann from Vegas visiting us. It was so great to have family around and see the kids having so much fun:) They really do miss all our family that's out of town. We started off the weekend coloring eggs. It never takes as long as I think it will. Amazing how fast 3 dozen eggs get colored! Beth Ann and I had to show off our coloring skills and do a few eggs half and half with 2 colors...the kids were really impressed:)






Grandma was busy most of the day cooking all of our delicious food for the next day. Those of you who know me well know that I do not cook nice home cooked meals very often, especially for lots of people! I was so glad Grandma was there to help!!! Everything was super delicious! While Grandma cooked and Beth Ann and I helped with the egg coloring, Keith let Grandpa try out the Wii...he was actually pretty good at bowling!

Kassidy with her new monkey from Aunt Beth Ann...her favorite color!

The kids new sunglasses...Kaleb insisted on wearing them almost all day long! Even inside the house to eat and watch TV!!

While the guys golfed Sunday morning, the ladies were busy getting things ready for dinner and entertaining the kiddos. I of course had to get some cute pics of the kids while they were all dressed up and happy...we all know how quickly little ones moods can change:)

After dinner (early dinner, actually more like a late lunch) my sister Kelly and her clan came over for the big easter egg hunt. The kids were SO excited and ran out to the backyard searching all over. Alex, Evan, and Kassidy had strict orders to leave the 'easy' ones for the younger kids and only find the 'hard' ones. Alex and Evan were up for the challenge and did very well finding all of our tricky ones...up in trees, in a birdhouse, on the playset, even on top of the light. Kassidy was not as outgoing and decided to find the easy ones with Kaleb and Sara.

Mom and kids:) Love this one!Aunt Beth Ann...she says their favorite aunt!!! (I know a few aunts who would argue her for that title:) )

Karson's first Easter!!! He slept most of the day so unfortunately we didn't grab a lot of pics.

All in all it was a very good Easter!!! The kids were so thankful for their baskets, candy, bubbles, stickers, money, toys, etc. They still have fun hiding and searching for eggs in the house:) Thanks to all the grandparents for making it such a special day for them. We love you lots!!!!!
