{Easter 2011}

  • easter fun! we spent Saturday night at grandma champlins! after dinner we had a easter hunt in the dark! BRING YOUR FLASHLIGHTS haha ... it was so fun! we've done it now for years and it's always a good time. it also makes it fun for the older people too since it's dark for EVERYONE! cooper thought every egg was an achievement and celebrated WAY too long with each find ... while the other eggs around him were getting snatched up left and right haha! but hey he thought it was amazing!

coopers haul and his trusty flash light
taylor ... always hamming it up for the photo
jaxson's saying cheeeeese for ever haha...
hence the interesting face he's making
only 2 casualties on this day .... 1st cooper fell on the swing set slide hitting his eye on the metal ladder... which he now has a shiner to show for it :(
and uncle ben got one too ... running into a wood stand during our dark egg hunt (picture not available) :(
on easter morning the kids woke up to a easter tradition i've had in my family. Kite string all over the house, their easter baskets are hidden, and the only way to make your way through the maze of string is to wind it up. Using the roll with your name... you wind up your string weaving and maneuvering through all the strings until you find your basket! :) this is the first year we've done it since the kids are older and they loved it! :)
jaxson trying to duck under some string to get to the kitchen part of his string
taylor winding her string that was around the chair WAY too many times for her liking haha
working together to untangle their strings haha
cooper found his basket... it was in the storage table that usually keeps the xbox stuff ..... which he thought was hilarious lol
the kids with their easter basket stuff! and peace signs hahaha hilarious!

jordan checking out his easter basket! :)
happy easter!
