Easter

Easter was a blast this year! As always! This year we headed to Morgan for the annual Easter Egg Hunt with Casey and Emily, Livie, Jet and baby Becca. There are hundreds of children lined up and all racing for the same egg. If you get an egg with a number on it you win a basket full of candy. All the kids got an Easter egg basket, even Becca and Bode. It is such a fun little tradition and our kids love it!
Getting ready for the egg hunt!
Easter is one of my favorite holidays! Maybe because I had a Mother and Grandmother who made it so special. The Easter Bunny would hide eggs all around our house in the morning when we woke up and leave a basket full for Easter goodies on the kitchen table. And we all got a new spring dress. (One year I had one with a hat and I thought I was so stylin').
We would then head to Grandma Tanner's for another Easter egg hunt and whoever collected the most eggs won the giant chocolate Easter bunny. After we would roll our eggs down Grandma and Grandpa's hill. So much fun!
This year the Easter Bunny hid eggs all around the house and front yard and left the baskets by the fireplace. The girls got matching pink dresses and boys matching vests and ties. While the majority of us were upstairs getting ready for church a little girl snuck downstairs and got into all, yes ALL, the chocolate eggs. Needless to say we were a little late for church that morning. :)
We also got to have Grandma and Grandpa Tollestrup come visit for the week. It is always so fun when they come! My kids were so sad to see them go and by the end of their trip Charlotte would hold out her arms to my mom and with a big smile say "Gamma!"
