Easter 2011

We had a big crowd down here for Easter for the first time and even in our little house we seemed to manage and it was nice. My mom, grandma, older brother and his 5 kids, and my younger brother and his friend were here. That was 15 people in all! Not everyone stayed at my house though, they had a few hotel rooms, so it worked well. My kids LOVED having their cousins down here, they can't get enough of them. Warning: Once again this a long post with lots of pictures ( I can't help it, I'm a picture freak!) so feel free to skip.

This was how many Easter baskets we had in the living room Easter morning.

Getting into their Easter baskets

Showing me her new Easter socks

We all went to church together and came home and had a nice lunch.

Sillies!

The only picture of our family together. We took pictures after church because we were running late in the morning. Because of that Owen really needed a nap and wasn't willing to cooperate for pictures. Oh well.

My sweet nieces and nephews. The 2 year old Jason was napping and I meant to take a picture with all 5 of them when he woke up and I forgot.

With their daddy

His smile cracks me up!

Audge wore this hat in the morning and then took it off. I wanted one picture of her with it on and she wanted nothing to do with that, thus the frown.

Grandma, Michael, and mom

Mom and her two boys

Ah brothers, gotta love 'em. It was so nice having both my siblings down here.

Eating Grub

Easter egg hunt at the park. Uncle Mike helped Owen, it was so cute.

Olivia is wearing my sweatshirt that I had when I was younger. It is from the place I took ballet and has my name written down the sleeve. Weird to see her in my old clothes.

I love the look on Jason's face here.

I love that Owen has a boy cousin fairly close in age. They were little buddies.

What a cutie!

Tyler teaching Owen how to skateboard. Owen loved it!

Audrey had really needed a nap and was so tired. By dinner time she had it and fell asleep while eating. Here she is trying to eat but her eyes were too heavy.

And out!

The day before Ester we made Easter cookies...

...and dyed Easter Eggs!
