Our Family..

These were taken at Easter time. I know, I know it is July but like I said earlier I am behind and trying to catch up! Ada can be quite the goof when it comes to taking pictures with the family and these pictures are no exception!

Neighborhood Egg Hunt...

This past Easter our neighbors organized a neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt for the kids. Benjamin and Ada were so excited to go on their egg hunt with all their friends. Benjamin knew what to do and was "super fast" at finding eggs. Ada, on the other hand, was very shy and took a while to warm up to the idea of hunting for eggs in the neighbors' backyards. Once she got into it she gave it her all! The kids had a great time. We have some of the best neighbors a person could ask for! The big kids stepped right in and helped the little kids find the eggs. Once all the little kids found the eggs they then hid them for the big kids to find. It was a hoot to watch!

Decorating Easter Eggs...

Grandma picked up an easter egg decorating kit for Benjamin. I don't know who was more excited about decorating easter eggs, Auntie Carrie or Benjamin. Benjamin had a good time decorating the eggs but he was having a hard time pulling off the stickers on the sheet but he could put them on without any problems. Benjamin loves doing craft projects or anything art related so this was right up his ally (except the part where we had to wait for them to dry)!

Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's House...

Both Benjamin and Ada enjoyed their Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Apparently, so did Callie (the dog). She grabbed and easter egg and off she ran. Benjamin chased after her to get that egg. Both kids were not happy with her after she took one of their eggs. "Naughty Callie--go away". Don't you just love Ada's little tongue haning out?

Checking out their loot...

Easter...

Here are the kids in their Easter outfits. Don't they look so cute? Unfortunately, we did not get family picture taken. I think that from now on I need to hire a personal photographer to capture the most obvious of photos (family photo, grandparent ones, etc) because obviously what we are doing or should I say not doing is not working out very well. Oh well, maybe next time! Back too these too. Don't they just melt your heart?

Easter Baskets and a Bike...

Benjamin and Ada enjoyed digging into their Easter Baskets. That Easter Bunny was so thoughtful bringing gardening tools, gloves, and buckets for each of the kids. How did she know that we could use their help? They also each got some socks and a kite. Ada received a few things for dress-up play. But each kid thought that the spiderman bike that the Easter Bunny brought was the best! Benjamin has sure put the miles on his little bike. Ada likes to sit on it and be pushed. She would love to pedal it herself but she is a little small for it yet.

Easter Egg Hunt in our Backyard...

The Easter Bunny managed to come and hide a bunch of eggs in our backyard. The kiddos were so excited! It was so fun watching them run around looking for eggs with both a smile and determination on their face. How did that Easter Bunny know that these two kids LOVE M&M's and jelly beans? They were so excited for their candy that they had to bring it to Grandma and Grandpa's house to share.
