Easter 2012 Part 1

Every Spring the kids enjoy a whole lot of Easter egg hunts. I think that we participating in5 this year, and we even said no to a couple. Here are some pictures of the Baylor Easter egg hunt:

We always meet the Ecklunds at this one. It is so fun to take pictures at it each year and to see how we have grown. Here are the posts for the past years: 2008, 2009, 2010. Last year the egg hunt was on the day that I was in the hospital in early labor with Luke. The Ecklunds were watching our two older kids, and they decided that it would be easier to skip the hunt. But, this year we were back!

Gianna tried hard to keep Kaiya in her lap, but right after this she did a dive into the rosebushes.

Caleb and Abby got exactly ZERO eggs at this hunt. They kind of stood there looking around when the hunt started and once they did start into the field of eggs, they just weren't fast enough compared to the rest of the kids. Awe, my non-competitive babies. I had to give them a pep talk about the rest of the egg hunts we attended. Jon has some work to do if he wants them to be into sports in the future! A couple of our friends kindly shared some of their eggs with Caleb and Abby.

I just love this rascally face. I remember Caleb making the same face when he was little.

Another annual egg hunt was at the Boyds "farm". Caleb and Abby did much better this time around, and as usual we all had a blast playing in the barn.

These were our attempts at a group shot: 2 five year olds, 4 four year olds, 2 three years olds, 2 two year olds, 2 one year olds, and 3 babies under one. Now that is a BLAST!

Hailey and Hayes: Isn't this picture funny!?

Lukey watching the action!

Grandma Peters joined us for a whole lot of Easter fun!

Lastly here is a sweet picture that my photographer friend Jennifer took of Luke at the hunt! Love it! Thanks, Jennifer!
