Easter 2012

We had a nice Easter.  Church in the morning - it was the official reopening after having our remodel.  It was crowded but great.  Then Neils parents came over for Easter lunch.  Fun & yummy! We had Honey Baked ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, rolls, peach salad, regular salad & deviled eggs.

But first we had Easter baskets...

Havens turn to check things out

Wonder what he is saying??

Getting ready to take some pics after church

Give me all your stuff....it cant be in the pic

Me frustrated at the kids for not really cooperating

The best I got

Then it was over to Don & Jeanine's to spend time with my sis and her family.  Although Haven and Neil didnt make it because Haven wasnt ready to participate.  So she spent the afternoon in her room while J got to do another Easter egg hunt....for money, with the big kids!

Spring Break 2012

We've been making it an annual affair to meet up with my sis and family at the beach over Spring Break.  The kids love spending time with the cousins and we just enjoy some relaxing family time.

This year Neil and I thought we would head to the beach just for the day.  But the more we thought of it the more we decided we should stay the night.  So the Thursday before the Friday we were to head over I started calling hotels.  Of course, many didnt have vacancy and the few that did has super jacked prices.   But low and behold God provided a nice place to stay at a normal price.

And it was pet friendly!

Not to shabby a view if I do say so myself.

So before we checked in we spent the day at the beach.

Then back to the hotel to clean up and rest

But first a little swim

And dinner with the whole fam.  There were 13 of us.

A walk to the end of the pier - a bit chilly but always nice to see the sun go down.

The next day we stopped at a winery to do a cave tour.  It turned out to be more of a cellar than a cave, but oh well.

Fun times at the beach!!

Kids Easter Party

Today we got to celebrate Easter by having a kids Easter party.  It was a bit windy and chilly and one of our little guys was sick so he couldnt come, but overall, I think it was quite a success.

We had some craft time.

 Then they played outside.  We also did a game of Pin the Wiskers on the Bunny.

 Miss. Kendra read the Easter Story and taught us the true meaning of Easter.

Then it was lunch time.

 Followed by an egg hunt/gather.  My yard is great for running and playing but not so much for hiding :)

Fun times!
