Here Comes Peter Cottontail...Easter 2013

Easter picture overload...I've got four kids...it is tough to decide!
 We packed up the car and headed to Kansas for some Easter fun with all of our family!  It went by way to fast and felt like a whirlwind blew through town.  We had a blast there are so many traditions here that my kids look forward to every year!  
This was our first year dying eggs at Mimi and Papa's new house.  The weather was perfect for some outside dying on their new patio!
 She loved do this this year.  I could tell that she really had no memory of it from last.  The first few eggs she seemed weirded out by what we were doing.  As she got the hang of it she couldn't get her hands on those eggs fast enough!
 A true Jayhawk fan...even with the loss and seeing her daddy almost go into heart failure, she stayed true to her team and made many KU eggs.  She made a few purple ones too for her Papa, so cute how she whispered it in his ear what she was doing so we wouldn't hear.
 These gals totally took over the Bunny Cake this year!  I had no part in it at all!  
Looks delicious!
 Our annual egg hunt and brunch with Nana and GranStan!
 So many fun activities to do here for the kids. 



 My only child who wanted anything to do with the Easter Bunny.  She adored him and kept running up to give him hugs:)  

 Focusing while getting instructions for the egg hunt.
 These two ended up with the Golden Egg. 
 Pretty sure Margaret is not going to want my help next year with her hunting.  I sent her towards the golden egg and she just wasn't quite as quick as another little hunter.  When they snagged it up before she got to it she refused to continue.  Once she decided she better go get some eggs, they were gone.  Hard lesson to learn here about stubborness! Thankfully her siblings were willing to share:)
So sad to not get any hunting pictures but these guys are fast!  

 Great visit with GranNana and GranPapa
 and both of my grandmothers.



Easter just won't be the same if you guys keep growing up like this!  I am going to make you continue to dye eggs, do egg races, and Easter egg hunts even when you are all grown.
Plan on it!
Just sayin!
Love you all to the moon and back!
