Easter Silliness

Easter fun

Easter presents

I think the boys' favorite present at Nanny Sue's was the little spinner guns. All the kids liked their Easter socks too-Cars for the boys and Ariel for Leanna (I think Maree was Belle).

Claire and Garett

Yes, that's a picture of Garrett(sp?) playing with the kids' toys. Claire really liked the power rangers, transformers, and remote controlled airplane too. As Laura said, "They match."

Easter outfits-Timothy and Justin

Trying to catch a nice Easter picture of them in their little outfits is like pulling teeth. And because of our late arrival and after dinner complications I had less time than usual to take pictures......so here's Timothy trying to wink and Justin looking so big. Justin's becoming such a little man-it's really taking me by surprise. All the sudden he's heavier and his voice seems a little huskier and he's just.....such a male presence. It's hard to explain the changes exactly, they're subtle.

Easter at Grammy's

While waiting for the Easter ham......

Easter morning

The picture and crayons wrapped in foil was my Easter present from Leanna-she made similar presents for just about everyone she knows, although they weren't all delivered. (I know everyone's dissapointed!) I thought that was really sweet of her to do though. She wasn't worrying about getting an Easter basket, she was busy making presents for others!

Easter egg decorating pictures

A tasty root beer float and some of the eggs in progress, and Leanna getting ready.......

I couldn't resist

Laura put all her eggs in one basket, silly girl!!

Twas the Night before Easter.....

The scanner program isn't loaded on the computer right now, so I just took a picture of the picture (Sue I have a keychain for you, it has room on the other side for a picture of Maree or Jonathan or both).

The night before Easter was extremely hectic-it was the only time Tom was home and the only chance I had to Easter shop. Timothy needed a new Easter outfit as he is too big to fit in the one his older brothers wore for their first easters. And Justin also needed something to wear (Timothy wore last year's Justin clothes and Leanna used her Christmas dress again with Easter gloves and hat). Tom needed a clean pair of pants to wear-all his are covered in paint and ripped etc. and new shoes. We got started way later than we had planned and it took an hour and a half to wait in line for the Easter Bunny, then K-Mart didn't have Tom's size so we ended up taking longer to shop, and everyone was starving at that point, plus we still had to get eggs and root beer/ice-cream. We have a traddition of having root beer floats while we decorate eggs the night before Easter! And all the kids needed baths, and of course that had to be AFTER egg decorating. But by the time we got home it was 9:30 or 10:00 and the boys were sleeping. So only Leanna got to decorate eggs! And the baths all had to be done Easter morning. After I cleaned up the egg decorating mess, I had to straighten the living room, lay out all the clothes/shoes/socks and make the baskets and clean the floor for nice-looking bunny tracks. I couldn't find the powder so this year I used flower. It didn't look quite as much like bunny tracks but it did the job.
