Easter

We had a very busy and eventful Easter. Saturday was filled with egg coloring, egg hunts, and time with family. Sunday was filled with more egg hunts and a lot more time with lots of family and friends (my family and Dan's family). We started the morning out with Easter baskets, then we went to Dan's parents house. We went to church with his parents where my sister and brother in-law (Anne & Brian) blessed their new baby Sophia. Then we went back to his parents house where we had a large lunch with lots of family and friends. After that we went to my parents for a large dinner and another egg hunt with my family. Oh how I love living near so many family members, it made for a very special easter.
These are few of my favorite egg hunt pictures.

Here are a few pictures we took before going to church. We were unable to get a good picture of all of us and it was even harder when we tried to get one of the kids alone. Oh well.

A Green Tux

After I finished my little girls easter dresses I thought well I've got to do something for my boy. So this is what I came up with....
I laugh when I look at it because it is quite fancy, but it has to be to go with his sisters dresses. They might look like they are going to be in a wedding, but hey how long are they going to let me dress them like this or want to wear stuff like this anyway? I still might just leave the bow tie at home on Sunday. I used Burda pattern #9732 and the sage satin fabric from the girls dresses. The white shirt I got at Old Navy for $5- what a bargain!
Here he is, what a cute boy. I can't wait to take a picture of the kids all together in their Easter outfits.
