Easter 2013

 He has risen! What a beautiful, blessed Easter weekend! We had quite a busy weekend, but so much fun! We started the celebration with family and friends at the club for Easter egg hunt and brunch. Before the hunt, a special visitor came to say hello to all the children! He sure must have been tired from all the eggs he hid!!
 The kids all geared up for the big hunt!
 What is everyone so excited about?
 There were so many eggs for the kids to find! This was Beckett's first year participating in the hunt, and he really didn't get it. He would see the eggs, pick them up, put them in his basket, take them out of his basket, and throw them. He had so much fun doing it though! I am sure next year he will be running around collecting eggs like the rest of them!
 What are these things?
 My two little bunnies!! Beckett is constantly watching Jackson and imitating his every move!
 After the hunt, we headed inside for a delicious brunch. Not only did they have great food, but nothing says Easter like a blue balloon sword :)
 And face painting....
Spiderman!
It is not easy to get all the kids to look at the camera at the same time!
 After the brunch, Beckett was free to roam around for a little while.
 He loves to walk around! Typically after the club brunch, we would head to our church for another Easter egg hunt, but believe it or not, Jackson had a tee ball game. So after brunch, we headed straight to the baseball field! The weather could not have been more perfect for the game! Jackson continues to love tee ball and gets better each game.
That evening, we headed to Kristin's house for pizza and yet another Easter egg hunt. The kids were so excited! You would have never known they had all done a hunt just a few hours ago!
 Intense searching!
Beckett had zero interest in this hunt. Give this boy a piece of pizza and he is good to go!
 All the activities Saturday must have worn this child out, because I actually had to wake him up Sunday morning. As soon as I said that the Easter bunny had come, Jackson shot out of bed and ran down the stairs!
 Unfortunately, the first basket he found was Beckett's.
After a few more minutes, Jackson found his basket!
Jackson is really into Power Rangers right now and was so excited to see that the Easter bunny brought him some Power Rangers dress up!
Wow! This is heavy!
Checking out all of his loot!
Power Rangers!!!
After the Easter bunny, we headed to church for a wonderful Easter sermon. After church we took a family shot in front of the cross.
After church, we headed straight to Brad and Kiera's for a delicious brunch and Easter egg hunt!
After we finished eating, we told the kids that the Easter bunny had come and left some eggs. They were so excited! As soon as the door opened, they were off!
James found one!
2 professional egg hunters!
Beckett found one!
And threw it :)
Easter family shot!
We tried to get all the kiddos to cooperate for a picture but either James or Beckett would take off. I snapped this one right before James took off.
This one they are all sitting....just not smiling :)
Beckett and Ben. All of a sudden we looked over and Beckett just kept giving Ben kisses. It was so cute!
