Easter Gathering

I hope you all had a blessed Easter. We had a very nice day with a wonderful service at church and some friends for dinner.

We celebrated with our kids on Saturday evening.  We started with an egg hunt. We've been getting lots of rain here and Saturday we got more.  It rained much of the day, so going into the yard to hunt wasn't going to work. We improvised and hid eggs in the garage.  :)


We made it easy to find some eggs for Connor and others were more hidden.





Ready for the hunt!

Having fun!








Cassie (she's wearing a Home Depot apron because Andrew took her there earlier in the day. They were letting the kids do a project and they got these aprons, so she had to wear it to our house and show us)






Alaina

We had pizza and just enjoyed the evening.




The girls did some coloring and drawing.








Here's all my cuties! We had a nice evening together.

Dear Mari, how clever that you improvised due to the rain and had the Easter egg hunt in the garage. It looks like everyone had a fun 😁 time. Lovely photos, dear friend.

Hey, we had pizza too! And here I thought we were the only ones who had pizza on Easter Sunday!! Alaina, oh my gosh!! I did not recognize her, and thought she was someone else much older. She has grown and changed so much. Both Alaina and Ruby are so beautiful. The garage was a great idea, and it looks just as much fun as outdoors would have been.

Glad to see Connor got in the photo this time. its a great shot. what a fun day and the garage was a good idea.. when I got to the photo of the MEN waiting for the egg hunt I started to laugh. men are so predictable. I have a photo of 4 of our family men standing in a row in the street to watch the kids ride new bikes at Christmas. all of them had what I call the Bored Stance... like they are saying, I am here, I am thrilled with their hands in their pockets... thanks for the memories

What a beautiful family and time together, Mari! Yes, sometimes we have to improvise when it comes to things like an Easter egg hunt, but sometimes those create the best memories.

Way to pivot Grandma and Grandpa. We sure get used to plan B's with our weathery areas, don't we? Looks like they still had lots of fun and they are all so darn cute! Growing put so fast too. Sounds like you had another lovely Easter in the books too. :)

Oh Mari, your pictures are the best.
Despite the soggy rain you all have a great time celebrating.
Connor is sure getting big and looks like he had a lot of fun. I like the picture of he and Grandpa sharing the goodies.

Beautiful pictures of the kids. Alaina and Ruby have gotten so tall.
They all look so happy and as though they are having a fun time.

I love how you made it work to have the Easter egg hunt inside : ) It looks like the kids had a great time.

Looks like a lovely Easter, Mari! The littles really add a fun touch to holidays, don't they?

I can't get over how big Connor is already!!! These babies just grow up too fast, don't they? They all look like they had a great time and a fun Easter Egg Hunt. Your garage looks so clean and neat! I don't think I've ever seen a garage that nice before! LOL. (we don't even have a garage, but if we did, I'm sure it would be full of everything but the car! LOL.) Looks like a wonderful Easter with your family. So happy for you all.

I like the way y'all improvised! And I love how the kids wore their bunny ears all day, hahaha xoxo
