Easter in pictures...

Here's our Easter weekend in pictures. And a few words.

On Saturday we colored eggs.  Ken taught the kids how to blow out eggs.  I grew up just hard boiling them.  Who knew?  Of course, they thought that was awesome.

The kids loved making lots of colors and mixing colors and coloring lots of eggs.  

Then the big kids went to an Easter egg hunt here on base while Nathan napped.  The bunny was there.  Jake loved, loved, loved the bunny. As a matter of fact, he followed him around the whole time.

They had a fancy face painter there.  Gracie, of course, chose to be a pink bunny.

Claire was a blue bunny.

As was Hannah. 

They all got to see the bunny, except for Nathan, but I don't think he minded.  He got in on lots of the Easter fun later. 

Sunday morning we had Easter baskets and made Resurrection Rolls for breakfast.  It's a fun Easter treat that tells the story of Christ's resurrection.  Forgive me for no pictures of those fun treats.  But I had 5 kids with hands in marshmallows and melted butter... no time for pictures.

After church, this was the best we could muster for our Easter picture of the kids.  Church was fun and everyone came home excited about the day.  Not that you could tell it from the looks on Claire's and Jake's faces.  "I know!  It's Easter.  Let's look mad!"

We had some friends and neighbors over for lunch, complete with the traditional ham and deviled eggs.  After lunch, we got our hunt on.  The adults hid the eggs, and we set all the kids loose in the courtyard.

They get serious about eggs.

Especially when they're full of candy.

After the hunt, they spent the day enjoying their loot and playing with their friends.

And lest you think that little man didn't get in on the fun, boy did he.  His first Easter was so cute in fact that he's getting his very own blog post very soon.  

I hope your Easter was sweet, too!  Happy Easter!
