Easter 2012

We started our Easter celebration with the annual Easter Egg Hunt sponsored by the Moose.

Sarah wasn't very into hunting this year because it was a little cold, but Caleb really went for all the eggs!

By this point Sarah only had one or two eggs in her basket -

she just wasn't feeling very competitive today!

Grandpa gave her a motivational talk and she did find a few more eggs.

This is Caleb's game face. . . no one was getting in the way of his candy!!!

After the hunt is over all the kids get a couple cookies & drink.

More sweets - exactly what the kids needed!

Caleb was so excited to get ready for church; he got to wear his new suit just like Daddy.

Sarah was excited to wear her "clip clop" shoes (they have a small heal on them)!

It's hard to believe that Sarah is 6 and Caleb is 3 in this picture!

Caleb was done with pictures by this point - it didn't help that I took away his jelly beans before the picture!

Jelly Beans are his favorite candy.

Sarah made herself some bunny ears. . . too cute!

Look what the Easter Bunny left for us!

A new DVD, swim clothes & C-A-N-D-Y!

Sarah was checking the yellow basket she put in the bush - she filled the basket with everything a bird would need for a nest.  Unfortunately, the bird decided to build a nest in the other bush!

Hunting, hunting, hunting. . .

They are so beautiful!

Score!  They found money in some of the eggs,

although Caleb was upset by this & wanted more jelly beans!

Look at all those jelly beans!

It's a good thing I also enjoy jelly beans!

Then it was off to Grandma & Grandpa Voss house to hunt more eggs.

Note to self: next year remind Caleb that you can't throw "real" eggs just because they don't have jelly beans in them!

Grandma Susan surprised the kids with their new backpacks made with Mickey and Minnie Mouse fabric.  Perfect for our upcoming trip!

More celebrating at Grandma & Grandpa Canning's house.

Great Grandma Lill enjoyed watching all the kids hunt the eggs in the yard.
