Easter fun

We had a great Easter.
Saturday we we went to my moms house and had a barbecue. We hid lots of eggs which my mom filled with money. The kids came out with alot of money. We also colored eggs, all 9 dozen of them! Sunday morning the Easter bunny came and brought the kids some fun swimming things to take on our upcoming trip to Disneyland. After we checked out what the bunny brought we headed out to church. After church we had another barbecue with Phil's family and I did an Amazing race egg hunt for the kids. I wanted to make a hunt challenging enough for my 16 year old nephew, who thinks he's to old to hunt for eggs. In this hunt they had to search for eggs with symbols on them, search the sandbox for blue stones, assemble and fly a kite, search the lawn for money filled eggs, enough to make $1.50. Sort through hundreds of pennies to find one with a certain year on it. They all had alot of fun, even the 16 year old.
All in all it was a great exhausting weekend!
Thanks to all of the family who pitched in to make our Easter a memorable one!

Trying to get a picture with all children smiling and everyone looking at the camera is no easy task! Getting ready to hunt eggs at grandma Kerby's


This was my attempt to try and be more like my sister Ashley "Stewart"
I made fuzzy bunny cupcakes for Nathan's class at school.
