Happy Easter

What a fun weekend we've had! We kicked off the holiday weekend on Thursday with my sister, Kristen, coming to visit. Addisyn was beyond excited to see her! Friday we went out to breakfast with my mom, sister, and niece, Tori, followed by a little shopping. And with every one's crazy weekend schedules, we ended up having an early Easter dinner that evening with the Watkins clan, minus the Harper's. Originally I had planned on several egg hunts on Saturday, but with our wonderful spring weather, our egg hunts were cut short. We made it to one hunt, and I'm almost certain we picked the best one! Chocolate lollipops were passed out as soon as we entered and prizes were given to all kids - baskets loaded with chocolate bunnies, books, and candy of all sorts!





After the egg hunt, we did the traditional egg dying. Now what we're going to do with a dozen colored eggs is beyond me!











The weather finally cooperated that evening, so we took the kiddos to the park for a bike ride. Now that Addisyn has a helmet, she's really been into riding outdoors.






Today has been a nice, laid back kind of day. We hid the kids Easter baskets this morning, and Addisyn was sure that the Easter bunny would bring her another baby. Good thing she seemed to forget about that when she found her basket!! And yup, this pic is beyond blurry - but her smile is still cute!





Ben pulled his snacks out of his basket right away!

I attempted to take some Easter pics of the kids, but with Ben always on the go and Addisyn looking anywhere but at the camera, it proves to be challenging! Nevertheless, they are still the most gorgeous kiddos ever!!!
And no, Ben's not looking, but I just wanted to show how adorable his little outfit was - thanks Aunt Kristen!

We finished our day with another bike ride at the park, and managed to get caught in the rainstorm. I don't have any pics from it, but just picture me pushing Ben in his car, running as fast as I can while Brad is trying to get Addisyn to petal faster! The kids found it amusing, and I'm sure all who were watching did also!!
