Easter Pictures

We had a lovely Easter yesterday. We started off the day with treats from the Easter Bunny, and fun with Addy trying to find all of the eggs hidden throughout the house. We went to church, had a picnic outside, and even fit in a trip to Busch Gardens!

Here are our babies posing after church:

Are we done yet?

The Easter baskets before they were wrapped up:

Addy wanted to take a family portrait, this was the best picture. As you can probably imagine, she cut at least one of us out with each photo.

The day before we attended the neighborhood Easter party and egg hunt. Here is Addy with her friends Zachary, Grace, and Graydon.

Addy and Luke with the Easter bunny! I was pleasantly surprised he sat here. He is pretty scared of most strangers, but apparently giant furry ones with big ears are okay.

Addy's Easter program! We loved watching her sing. Jeff even taped the entire thing-- still trying to figure out how to download video on to our computer. One of these days....

Addy's Easter Party

Addy had an Easter tea party last year, and asked if we could do one again this year. I've been feeling a little partied out, but decided at the last minute to put one together. We had a day of perfect weather! The kids enjoyed lunch outside in the front yard, a craft out on the back deck, and an Easter Egg Hunt. Oh, and we can't forget about cake. Because it's not a party without cake or cupcakes!

Here are all of the kids with their buckets of loot. I told them to line up so I can serve cake (but I took a picture first)

Addy and Grace being silly with their buckets

Zachary and Graydon on their hunt for eggs. Zachary found the prize egg and won a giant bubble wand!

Cake, cookies, and lemonade!

Yummy yummy carrot cake. I decided to practice a 3 layer cake to see if I want to try it for Luke's birthday. It was soooo good! Becky's famous recipe :)

Sugar cookies

I just love these tags

Lunch "pails". I put all of the lunches in pails for the kids with their initial on them. They used the buckets for EAster egg hunting too!

Addy's Jeep

Addy received this Jeep for her 2 year birthday from Grandma and Grandpa. She has always loved it, but especially loves it now that she has learned to steer and can reach the pedals. Guess who else loves it? Sweet baby Luke! He can't get enough! Both of them have been cruising around together all weekend.

I love this picture of Luke cracking up-- he was so excited!

Car Shop

One of Jeff's friends just opened up the largest Car restoration shop in the world. Jeff took Addy to the Grand Opening in downtown Norfolk over the weekend. She enjoyed posing in front of some of the cars!

For papa:

She particularly loved this one because it looked like Lightening McQueen
