Easter Weekend




Prepare yourself for some serious picture overload.  Easter was full of family and fun and I had my camera out and ready to document every second of it!  Sarah took this picture of my family on Easter.  It's definitely  one of my favorites.

Let's start at the beginning...


The boys and I colored over 50 eggs!  


All the cool kids color eggs in their underwear, duh!

The Saturday before Easter, we headed out west for an event only Grandma Griffin could host.


Our camp site was on a steep hill full of jagged, sharp rocks.  A perfect spot for the babies.  Lennon and Sam were really enjoying giving me a heart attack.


I seriously can't believe they didn't hit each other with all the rocks they were throwing.


Sam in a baseball cap needs to happen more often.



It was so fun having Rick and Anna here.  



Rick and Sam had a cute little photo sesh!




After some hot dogs and smores, it was time for the annual egg roll.


Nice form Hanksta!


Max decided chucking the eggs was much more fun.  
After everyone cleaned up we headed to Jeri and Scott's for dinner and an Easter egg hunt. 






Sam was far more interested in eating the chocolate inside the eggs.  This kid has a sugar addiction!


See what I mean?



Along with the eggs, each kid had a kite to find.  Luckily for all of us, there was a slight breeze so we could try them out.  You be the judge who had more fun flying kites...(photo cred goes to Jeri, she is really getting good with her new camera!)













This pic has to be one of my favorites.  I think it needs to go on a Hallmark card.



Kites are really fun, I'd forgotten just how fun it is to fly one!  We spent the rest of the evening posing for cute pictures and laughing.  


Jeri kept all of us entertained singing along to the videos Sam and Lennon like.  These kids are so lucky to have a grandma like her.  

The next morning, the kids discovered we had been visited by the Easter bunny.  The clues he left behind helped them find candy and toys.




Candy for breakfast? Yes please!


My mom hosted a beautiful Easter lunch later in the day.
The kids were anxious to head outside to roll eggs and find more candy.


My dad had hidden eggs all over the back yard. 








The kids played in the river for hours.  


Sam loved taking rides on Grandpa Curt's new 4-wheeler.
The weather was gorgeous.  We had such a beautiful day with my family.  It was an Easter to remember!
