Easter

Jason flew in the day before Easter so it was great to have the family all together again.  Before picking up Jason at the airport the girls and I headed to my brothers house for Easter breakfast and egg hunt.  As usual my brother had tons of people at his house so while it was nice to see him I didn't get to talk to him much but the kids had a great time eating up all the yummy food.  There were loads of Easter eggs spreadout across the lawn and in shrubs so all the kids had a blast collecting as many eggs as possible.  Once the party was coming to a close I sent the kids home with my parents and I headed to the airport to pick up Jason. 

On Easter morning the kids woke up to a note from the Easter Bunny.  They had to follow the string through the house to find their Easter baskets.  The girls were pretty tired and slept in a little later than usual and also didn't get up at the same time so we had to watch for each of them to get up to make sure they didn't miss the note from the Easter Bunny.  They were both excited to have a note and to follow the string to their baskets as were really excited to find all the candy and books the Easter bunny left for them.  Later that afternoon my brothers came over for Easter lunch/dinner with their families and we had another Easter Egg hunt with just the five grandkids.  They all ended up with quite a lot of candy.  Fortunately our girls forget about the candy once it is out of site so after a day of candy we put it in a ziploc and stored it in the freezer.  Of course then it is just eaten by me and my dad which isn't good either but I only eat it to save my children from eating it :)
