We had a jam-packed and blissfully fun Easter weekend! We started out the weekend by dying eggs at my sister's house on Friday night. Finn loved his first Easter egg. He just wanted to lick it constantly. :)
Finn loves loves loves Penny ( the opposite of how Addy feels about her) and Penny loves him in return.
The next morning we went to GG's house for my parents' egg hunt where they have the kids hunt for their color eggs filled with treats! The kids had a blast! Addy was a little distraught when she learned her color wasn't pink, but she was soon pacified that she get purple. :) Girls, I tell ya. ;) We did it in Reno because my dad left to Argentina for a hunting trip and my mom was already in town. The kids had so much fun all helping eachother. It was so cute!

It's been blowing my mind how grown up these kids are looking lately!
That evening, we headed out to Nana's. We decided to have some more fun and dye some more eggs. :) I got a kit with glitter, which was super fun. For some reason, Easter egg dying brings out the kid in me.
That night the Easter bunny came and filled up their baskets! Nana also got a basket full of peeps! Who knew it was the celebration year for 50 years of Peeps!
The next morning the kids had to hunt for their baskets. Addy found hers pretty quickly but that Easter bunny was pretty tough on Liam. He did find it eventually with a little help from mom and dad.
Finn was pretty happy with his basket, too!
Addy loved her new bunny baby and the bunny pancakes I made for breakfast. They were really easy and very fun!
It was quite a chore to get pics in our Easter best, but they turned out pretty well considering it was pouring rain for the morning. We were grateful for the rain, even if it was inconvenient for it to be on Easter. However, we all made it to church and enjoyed the Easter program.
Then the cousins headed out to Yerington and we went to the egg hunt.
Addy was head over heels in love with the Easter bunny. It was so cute. And the end of the hunt, she just ran over and stood right next to him. She also loved the egg hunt and kept handing out her eggs to other kids. I don't have any pictures of Liam hunting because he was on the other field with Wes so those pics are on his phone. However, Izzy was SO CLOSE to finding the golden egg! Darn it. At least we've actually seen it now.
And the rest of the day was filled with a yummy meal, the kids trying on their new swim suits and kite flying!
Phew! No wonder I was tired when we got home. However, I'm so thankful for time spent with family and for time to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. What a precious gift we have been given!
Yet, when she comes in the house, she puts on a tiara and plays with her babies. I love that she can have fun doing anything. I love these pictures of her tucking her little bears in and kissing them goodnight.
She is such a little mama. She loves to give Finn kisses and calls him 'sweetheart' and 'handsome.' She also loves to boss her brothers around. ;) She's such a good sister.
