EASTER 2010

EASTER.......Our Family Party was a great success...or so the grandkids all said! Below is a picture of all the eggs waiting to be hid...for both the scavenger hunt.....where each grandchild had their own special clues to find and a present waiting at the end......... And below are all the stuffed Easter eggs waiting to be hid for the Easter Egg Hunt!

We started the party with a great dinner of BBQ Pork Spareribs and Baked Potatoes....and lots of yummy things to go with it!

After dinner the kids all sat in the upstairs family room singing primary songs while the adults hid the scavenger hunt eggs....I had to be a bit more creative this year, because the grandkids are awfully smart!



Below is Baby Cohen...the youngest grandchild... didn't get into all the eggs...but he is sure cute!

After the scavenger hunt...the kids listened to Grandpa Dave tell the Easter Story while the adults then hid the eggs for the Easter Egg Hunt!

Although....there wasn't alot of listening to the story, but David sure tried to tell them the true meaning of Easter!


Then.....Let The Hunt Begin!! The weather held out this year and we were able to have the egg hunt outside....the adults are getting pretty tricky about hiding the eggs! Although, two days later we found a forgotten egg out on the jeep trailer!

Below is Curtis and Hunter with all their loot!

Below is Eliza with her family....looking for eggs!


Below is Kenadee....she found an egg on top of Jason's truck!
For the scavenger hunt.....each child's last clue led them to a small present and they had to bring it back to the kitchen to all open together! Below, they are tearing into the presents!



Below is Sage, Bailee and Kenadee and Aunt Stef in the background...Thanks Stefanie for helping with the Scavenger Hunt and the picture taking again this year!
This year instead of hiding the 4 grand prize eggs....I tucked alittle note into a regular egg and then 4 lucky grandkids got to pick which egg they wanted!

There is also 2 GOLDEN EGGS hidden along with the regular eggs.....below we finally had to play warm or cold for them to find one of the golden eggs.....they were literally stepping all over it!

The GOLDEN EGGS are filled with Grandpa's coins...it is very heavy and had around $6-$7 dollars in each egg! Below everyone is looking for the golden egg hidden in the front yard!

Along with EASTER we celebrated our April Birthdays! Below is Grandpa Dave, whose birthday is April 2nd....Jake who turned three on April 9th and Paxton who turned 1 on April 17th! Happy Birthday!

We celebrated with brownies and ice cream!

HAPPY, HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!! ONCE AGAIN THE BEST PART IS JUST BEING WITH OUR FAMILY......WE LOVE YOU ALL!!

Easter To Come!

Reader Beware.....our EASTER pictures are coming soon.....it's going to take me awhile to get through the 200 some odd pictures that were taken between Stefanie and I!

It's St. Patty's Day!

For our March birthday dinner.....I had this great idea to make it GREEN!! This bread from Winegars was AWESOME!
So.....one end of the table was decorated for St. Patricks Day and the other end for the March Birthdays!

The kids loved eating green beans, green potatoes and the green bread! Course' whenever they all get together they always have fun!


The three oldest finally got to set at the grown-up table! As you can tell....it didn't really help!

Hey...Look What I Found On My Camera!!

I'm quessing that this must have been on New Year's Day.......It's not very often that we can get David to play a game...so this must have been a HOLIDAY! Rich was such a good sport to go in and watch a movie with Eliza!


And after the card games.......it was ROCKBAND!!!! Below the Women are a ROCKIN!!



LADIES ROCK...I don't remember if the guys ever played or not!!
