Easter

Easter has come and gone, and we have lots of cute pictures to show for it. The kids were so excited for Easter this year. They're getting old enough now that they want to wake up WAY to early. The night before, they were trying to sleep on the hide a bed with my mom. I told them they had to sleep in their own beds or the Easter Bunny wouldn't come, because he would be afraid they would see or hear him. So then they were all upset and nervous because grandma would see or hear him. I told them she couldn't hear or see at night because it's dark and her hearing aids wouldn't be in. Then of course later that night she tells them that sometimes she hears him thumping around. I told them she was kidding them...she can't hear anything when her hearing aids aren't in. They seemed to be satisfied and went to bed. Gracie woke at 4 am!!! No way!! I made her go back to sleep. She finally came in again at 5 and asked if it was time. I made her lay with me a little longer. TJ was asleep still. So, she finally fell asleep with me and woke back up at 6:30...we laid there until 7 and then I let her go wake up TJ. 39 eggs found in record time!!! The Easter Bunny hid them a little harder this year. Kids are getting better at hunting, so he had to compensate I guess. It still didn't take them long. Except 1 egg wasn't found until 2 days later, inside TJ's sock, under the coffee table. Silly Rabbit! At 11 we headed down for a family hunt. All of Tony's cousins and Aunts & Uncles came out. Kids had tons of fun!!! Here are some pictures from that.
TJ finds and egg!

He even got to climb trees to get to eggs. Some were so high I had to lift him up to almost stand on my shoulders. He loved it.

Gracie finds an egg!

She didn't have to climb trees. She is getting so tall!

Little Violet decided to be camera shy. Still cute tho.

Montana finds an egg!

Isn't she a pretty girl? She is growing up so fast. It amazes me.

Here are most of the kids. Montana is missing....we got a shot of her later with everyone, but I didn't have my camera with me then. I'm hoping someone will share pictures and I can get that one. (hint hint) :)

My little monkey TJ. He loves to climb things and have me take pictures. Silly boy!

Asher smiled and tried to get away when I tried to take a picture of him...

when I persisted, he let me know he wasn't to happy about it apparently. lol

All the kids love Grandpas tire swing. I love this shot of Gracie.

Tracer and TJ played catch for a little while.

Finally got a smile from Asher. Cute little guy.

Then it was off to the tree house for all the kids. Here is TJ climbing up.

TJ and Montana at the top.

Gracie and Uncle Bill. All the kids just love Uncle Bill...he is so fun to play with...and torture some times. ;)

Gracie looks scared doesn't she? lol

"I think I'm stuck!" we hear Bill say.

Nope...he made it!

Here is TJ on the tire swing.

I know that's a lot of pictures, and there are more. I hope you enjoy them. I know I do!
