Easter!

I have a feeling that family pictures are going to be a bit tricky for the next couple years...

We had a great Easter. We spent Saturday night at my parents' house and were up bright and early for sunrise service (at 6:00!) I was quick to point out that our kids and my nephew were the only children there under 5! Sadie thought it was pretty cool to go to church when it was still dark outside and talked about it several times this week. We enjoyed the service and pancake breakfast that followed. We were back to Grandma & Grandpa's house (my parents) a little after 7:00 to do some hunting for Easter baskets.

Sadie was much better at searching this year--she had fun!

I was so busy following Sadie around that before I knew it, Kinnick had his basket also!

Sadie liked showing off her new goodies.

Kinnick also had a good time checking out his basket.

These cute glasses were from Uncle Jack and Aunt Jessica. Kinnick wanted nothing to do with them and Sadie has been wearing hers and Kinnick's all week!

Macey had some help finding her baskets from big sister!

Cutest little Easter bunny ever! (These ears were in Sadie's Easter basket the last 2 years and now they've been passed on.)
After enjoying Easter basket goodies we had some time to relax before getting ready for church. Macey and Kinnick both napped and we talked to Sadie about why we celebrate Easter (more on that later...) Sadie was so excited to get her Easter dress on that she ran to our suticase as soon as we got home from sunrise... When it was finally time she was very happy.
I didn't get any picture of the 3 kids together, but I managed to get a few shots of each them individually:
Aunt Jessica fixed Sadie's hair. She was excited to wear this headband that she picked out all by herself!





We managed to click a few shots of the cousins after church--this was the best one! (Jaren-3, Jadyn-7, Sadie-3, Macey-7 weeks, Kinnick-1)


After church we went to my aunt & uncle's house for dinner and an easter hunt for the great-grand kids. They had a good time and we enjoyed the beautiful weather.

This was about 5 minutes after leaving for home... a busy, fun-filled day!

I can't believe you got your whole crew to church by 6! Lots of cute pics of all the kids... love Sadie's hair and Macey's dress... and the cute look on Macey's face in the bunny pic.
