easter weekend

i was a little wiped out after all the partying for birthdays we'd been doing and not as prepared for easter as i typically am

but it's ok 

we made it

 we were surprised with a little front yard easter egg hunt from an anonymous 

easter bunny first thing in the morning on saturday

so sweet!

we went to the neighborhood/ward easter egg hunt

the kids loved it

 henry chatting it up with the bishop

cute boys waiting for it to start 

 jude holding on to his first easter egg ever!

then we happened upon another easter egg hunt at an elementary school

right before it started

michael and the kids hopped the fence and barely made it

i loved watching them hop the fence and run over in the knick of time

 cafe rio for lunch

 cutest little easter bunny

 all ready for the kids to find on easter

 chirp came in for the festivities

 all ready for Easter Sunday 

 we take lots of pictures to get any good ones with six little people

 the boys (and chirp)

 henry insisted on holding jude :)

 jude's first easter

 just the girls (and chirp)

hazel took one of us, too

during teacher training....

 the best picture i got of easter dinner

i think michael has poured water on a professional level

 when i told michael that henry's nursery leader told me henry bit her husband during nursery

michael was appalled and made him walk over with a treat to apologize 

they were very touched and henry promised to never bite them again

the kids insisted on one more easter egg hunt in the backyard sunday afternoon

so we abliged but it wasn't great (some only had a penny or one candy or just a cracked egg) 

we thought we were hilarious

it was a really nice easter

kids make everything more fun
