Happy Easter!


This Easter we decided to go to the Clearwood Annual Easter Egg Hunt. It was so fun for Tyler, unfortunately Kai was not feeling very good, so she was asleep at home with a neighbor watching her. Tyler had fun though. She even found a "Golden Egg" which there were only a couple of for A LOT of kids, so she was so lucky to find it. She got to go redeem her golden egg for a prize and she got a $5 gift card to Pizza Hut! After the Easter egg hunt they had an egg toss, so Austin and our neighbor Mark were parners for the game and they did so good. They came in second place and even got a $50 gift card to a local restaurant. After all the Ester festivities, we went back home and dyed easter eggs. Tyler had a friend from preschool come over for the Easter Egg hunt and the dying of eggs, Chloe Coleman, and they played so good together. Chloe's parents also came and we had a great dinner and relaxing evening just talking and getting to know each other, I love having new friends over! Then, on Easter Sunday we went to a neighbors house for an Easter BBQ with carne-asada, steak, ribs, hot dogs, pico-de- gallo, salad and angle food cake for desert! It was a great dinner and a good time with our really good friends. So, even though we missed our families for Easter this year, we were surrounding by good friends and had a great Easter.




I love how concentrated Tyler is here. She takes easter egg dying seriously! She just loves doing stuff like this.

Kai loved it too and threw a big tantrum when we were all done and the eggs were all out.





The Easter Bunny!

Congratulations Tyler on your golden egg!...and of course to Austin for doing so well. Don't tell Austin, but these last few posts have caught him SMILING in pictures! Such a cutie! Can you believe I did not dye a single Easter Egg this year? So sad. Love you lots.
