Easter

For family home evening we colored our eggs for Easter.  The kids ( and parents) always have a great time mixing our colors and patterns.
The finished product
On Saturday we went out to Lewisville for their annual Easter Egg Hunt.  The kids especially love it because they get baskets full of candy and treats.  Leah was a friend to the Easter Bunny this year but Eva only wanted to see him from afar.  
On Easter morning the older kids bounded out of bed to hunt for their baskets.  Per prior instructions they could hunt for their baskets but were not to wake the little girls until 8:00 and after asking mom.  As soon as mom had the camera ready the kids raced around hunting for the eggs.  Eva and Leah would squeal with delight at finding them.  Abi and Tal who were challenged to leave the lower ones and find the harder ones got stumped on a few, but eventually all were found.  
Eva cajoled Dad into opening her "chickens" for her.  She loved them so much that she opened everyone else's too.  Mostly she just smashed and licked them.
All dressed up in our Easter Finery and ready for church.
I just love these cute little Munchkins.  
After church we went to Nana and Papa Fife's for their annual egg hunt.  Tal had a system of picking up only eggs that rattled when he shook them.  He was rewarded with lots of dime and quarters.  Leah who just loved running around and finding eggs collected several dollar bills in her non-rattling eggs.  

And little Eva was  thrilled to find juice boxes and packages of crackers and fruit snacks just lying out on the lawn for the taking.  Happy Easter.
