E A S T E R

Our family immediately following Church. No time for pictures before 9am church at our house.

Our boys in their Easter outfits.
Cooper (5 yrs. 5 mos.), Gunner (3 yrs. 3 mos), Beckett (11 mos. tomorrow).

Here they are at the community Easter Egg Hunt at the Johnson County Fairgrounds. Eggs laid all over the grass... mad-dash chaos. Lots probably thought I coordinated their orange shirts just to look cute, but I actually did it so I would be able to quickly pick my boys out of the crowd.
We were there with the Bells and Petersons. Shayden was just a few days old in her sling. The boys had fun hunting with Kambree and Zander.

We also got to visit Cooper's preschool for the Easter Party and egg hunt. Gunner loves that he gets to join right in at these parties. It was cute cause Cooper got the same candy in his eggs, so I told him to trade. All of the sudden the "trading" concept clicked with him and a few friends. It was cute seeing them trading away. I love that his preschool is a Catholic Preschool, so they focus on the true meaning of holidays, and teach so many good values.

Of course we had our traditional Easter Family Night, complete with the flannel board story of Easter, and dying Easter Eggs. The boys loved finding their baskets Easter morning. They especially loved helping Beckett find his (under the piano bench). The Bells came over after church for Easter dinner. We did an indoor egg hunt too, as the weather was chilly and wet. Coni Burke (Jaime's Mom), lives with Clif and Jaime right now to help with the new baby and Emberlyn. She joined us for Easter dinner too. She is so sweet with our boys, and has become their adopted Grandma. She is so crafty too, always making cute socks and bibs and such for her grandkids.
