Easter

I feel so incredibly on top of things at the moment.  Don't worry, I'm sure the feeling will pass.  The week leading up to Easter we were lucky enough to have Brandon's family come visit us.  Of course I forgot to take pictures for most of the time they were here.  I can blame some of that on sickness, I was running a temp one night and spent most of the next day in bed.  But we did have a little Easter egg hunt with the kids on the day William had early release and I did get pictures of that.
 Britton found an egg, Don and Yuri did a great job hiding the eggs.  There were only a few that were just a tad high for the kids to reach.
 William's haul.
 Caitlyn's eggs.
 Britton was very excited, can't you tell?  So excited her expression looks pained.
 Bradley demonstrated how he really isn't a people person.  He doesn't always tolerate people, but I must say that he does it to everyone.  Even on occasion to Brandon.  He is a mama's boy, especially if he thinks mama is leaving.
 I wanted to put this picture because Bradley is looking at me and smiling but notice that Haley, Britton, and William are not.
 Yuri made these awesome star balls for the kids with treats inside.  The Easter bunny was nice enough to put them in the baskets with the rest of the treats.
 Right to the bubbles.
 A new coloring book, yay!
 The kids all scored new coloring books and crayons, sidewalk chalk, bubbles and a little candy.  And they all got up without the aid of Brandon's alarm.  We had to get an early start so we could go chase the Rabbit.  We went to the grand opening of Teton Running Company, a new running store in town, and they had a mile fun run complete with an Easter Bunny.  The kids thought it was fun that we were chasing the Bunny.  Brandon ran with William and they finished around 11 minutes.  I pushed Bradley and Britton in the stroller and ran with Caitlyn.  I let Britton run the last little bit and we finished around 13 minutes.  It was a bit cold, I'm not sure why I thought we would have a warmer Easter at the end of April, and I think the cold added to the walking breaks.  We also got some door prizes and Brandon was just excited that there is finally a nice running store near us.
Saturday night we did Resurrection rolls again, but I forgot to take pictures this year.  I was lazy and used frozen Rhodes rolls this year.  What can I say, they were on sale and I really didn't want to make dough.  But the kids had fun wrapping the marshmallows in the dough, we had a great retelling of what happened to Jesus after he was crucified, and the kids were excited about the rolls in the morning.  Caitlyn was a little upset that the marshmallow was gone, apparently she forgot about what happened last year, but it is very cool to break them open and see they are hollow.
Sunday was actually very nice, you would never guess we had snow two days before, so we thought we would take some pictures outside.  So here we are all dressed up.  I did mange to find something in the same color scheme so I would match the family.  And I must say that I still hate shopping.  Oh well, the kids look cute and that is what matters right? Right.
