Easter 2013

Happy Easter 2013

Girls & even Landry were all still asleep at 7am.  I had homemade cinnamon rolls from Pioneer Woman in the oven making the house smell devine!!  That seemed to wake them up :)

Taking a look to see what the Easter Bunny left them!!

Bella is totally into Minnie Mouse right now...the EASTER BUNNY was paying attention!!

What a fun bucket for Landry :)

 Caught him mid yawn on this one....LOVE IT...looks like he is so excited about his basket!!!

Ava is OBSESSED with Scooby Doo...loving the doo rag!

Quick snap before the big hunt begins...Bella wanted nothing to do with being photogenic!

Grace just taking it all in....didn't feel like hunting any eggs this year :(  But she did partake in eating about 5 cinnamon rolls...they are really that good :)

Bella trying on Grace's new sunglasses....stylin

Love this shot of the 4 of them walking into church

My smiley little guy...he is so flippin cute :)

Family Shot over at Aunt Candi's house

It was an absolute GORGEOUS day for Easter this year.  It was low 70's and just beautiful!!

Had a great time at chuch and spending the day with family.  

Very blessed we are as a family!!

Easter Eve @ Aunt Joanne's

This year we were in town for Easter....and it was great to spread out the festivities between the whole weekend rather than cramming it into one day.  Makes it so much easier when you have a 2 month old :)
Saturday evening we spent at Aunt Joanne's...had the best meal of turkey, asparagus, homemade rolls, and the best lamb cake :)  She has been making this every Easter since I was little.

We got the girls & boy all dressed up and headed over...the girls loved being up in the FAMOUS art studio that me and my brothers just loved to do while we were over there when we were little.  I had not been up there in ages so I got some snaps :)  I swear the place has not changed since I was Lizzie's age doing the exact same thing!  Even the FOLGERS coffee cans were there to dip our paint brushes in.  I loved it!!
The girls did too....they were drawing Easter Bunny pics :)

Aunt Joanne giving the girls their instructions on hunting the Easter Eggs!!

Some other fun shots of the evening :)

Trying to get a shot of Mommy & Landry was not very successful...he was not having it and for some reason we couldn't get a shot that was in focus :)

My favorite pic of the day...love this one with Uncle Brad & Landry 

Happy Easter Eve 2013....as I am sitting here at 6:00am waiting for the dough to rise for my homemade Cinnamon Rolls :)  No worries been up since 3am its how I roll these days in order to get everything done with all these kiddos. Its great until about 8:30pm when I just crash :)  I love it though I get to have my coffee in quiet, catch up on my blogs and pinterest stuff and have my "ME" time b/c once the hurd starts moving in the morning...we don't stop :)

Almost Easter...what the what??

So I feel like time is just a whirlwind...it was just Valentine's Day I sware! Now it is Easter this weekend...man time is flying. Trying to slow it down a bit. Last night we decorated some Easter eggs while Daddy was out with clients. Bella was hilarious...running around screaming at the top of her lungs...almost time for my Easter party! I tell you what, she is the funniest thing ever right now. You really never know what is going to come out of her mouth. She LOVES to dance and sing right now and one of her favorites it "This girl is on FIRE" by Alicia Keys. Screams it from the top of her lungs...and she is also taking a liking to anything Taylor Swift. The girl has a serious memory!
A little BELLA-ISM from yesterday while driving to pick up Grace and Ava from school....
Bella - Mommy we have a real problem here...my shoes are all wet!

Here she is playing with her boogie wipes on the snowy day we had on the 24th....we got almost 12 inches!!

A little helper in the kitchen while I made pancakes one morning...she loves helping me with her stool that actually says Landry on it.  I need to get her one for sure for her birthday :)

Some shots of the EASTER egg decorating evening we had :)

Bella started getting a little whiny when she found out that all of her eggs were already done :(  She loves to craft and create, would do it all day if I let her.  Love the eyebrows!

Looking forward to the weekend of festivities..been running around trying to make sure everyone has outfits and such.  I tell you what these girls have massive growing spurts in winter time.  I feel like every time someone tries on a pair of nice shoes, they don't fit!  Well good thing they all enjoy each others hand me downs!
