Getting ready for Easter

It was a little difficult for me to get ready for Easter this year.  For one thing, we can't find the baskets... Dustin found the box that had the eggs and a couple spring things in it under the steps, but the rest is probably in a random box in the garage.  I figured it was easier and less stressful to just buy new baskets this year.  The other reason is, it has been cold this year!  It has been hard to think of Spring Break getting closer when I am wearing boots and sweaters to work.  Gloves just should not be allowed at the end of March near the beach!  

So, now that I am done with all of that...  a bunny cake always helps!  I didn't want to have the whole cake at our house for just us to eat, so I invited myself to mom and dad's house one day and we made the cake there so they could have some too!  



LOTS of polka dots on the bow tie!  


Coloring eggs!  What a fun tradition!
What a silly girl!




I was a little nervous about Gavin and the eggs... he tends to throw things!  He did very good though.  

Thank you pinterest for the great idea of using whisks to dye the eggs!

Egg Hunt

Our small group had an Easter Egg hunt this weekend.  All the "big kids" hunted in the front yard while the "little kids" got the back yard.  Gavin was a little too little to do any major hunting, but he picked up a few and put them in his bucket!  Rachel had a blast!  










Off she goes!


Wait for me!



The little kids



Looking through the goods!





Snacking and exchanging.  We decided to have items in the eggs instead of candy since there are a lot of allergies, and really who needs all that candy anyway!  So the kids exchanged boy and girl toys after finding the eggs.  What a fun day (and the weather turned out to be perfect!)

Birthday party fun

Blake had an awesome 5th birthday party!  He loves Mario and sports, so he had a party at his Aunt Jen's house with lots of outdoor activities and the game system set up in the garage for everyone to play.  (There may have been a time that it was all the dads playing...) 



The birthday boy!




Cute little man!






She LOVED the scooter!




Love how Noah is in Gavin's face!  They are buds!


Such a fun party!
