Easter 2011

We had family over for Easter last year. We always have a great time when we get together and this time was no exception.

Madeline helped me make cookies. She loves to help me with anything involving decorating or anything crafty. She is, in fact, becoming quite the little crafter all on her own, lately.

We have the BEST Aunts and Uncles in our family, seriously! Aunt Joni was reading a book to O and M here.

Speaking of the best Aunts and Uncles. Here's one Uncle doing one of the things he's great at....playing chess with nephews (the nieces haven't shown much interest in chess yet.....)

I went a little crazy with the camera. I'll let some of these pictures speak for themselves. You'll find more chess pictures. Chess is obviously a favorite game.

Some of the girls wanted to be beauticians, so a couple of Aunts let the girls beautify them.

We had a fun Easter Egg hunt.  The older kids hid the eggs and the younger kids found them.  The older kids began hiding eggs outside when suddenly it began to rain, so they frantically (while laughing at the same time) ran out and retrieved all the eggs before they got too wet and re-hid them inside.  They all had a very enjoyable time!

Aunt Joni made these adorable little eggs for each child.  She made them the same way a pinata is made.  I thought they were super cute!

Madeline loved her mini-pinata egg!
