We woke up to find a basket full of candy for Chloe and daddy from the easter bunny. Chloe was very excited at all the stuff the easter bunny left. She kept asking how he knew what candy she liked. The innocence of a child is priceless. We went to church and got to spend it with family. It was great having all of my family together in church. We then headed to Shirley Jane and Jerry's for lunch and yet another egg hunt. This was the 3rd one for Chloe. We had a great but exhausting day. I hope everyone remembers the real reason for Easter. Christ has Risen!

I decided to have an easter egg hunt at the new house for some of our friends and Chloe's friends. I always love doing things like this and usually go overboard. That is why we had 500 eggs to hide and hunt for. But I just wanted to make sure the kids got enough eggs. Needless to say they got plenty and we are still missing 10 eggs. LOL. I guess we will find them next time we cut grass. The kids seemed to have a blast and loved playing on the swing set. The adults sat around eating, our favorite thing to do. We are blessed with great friends and family!

Swing set is done!





The swing set finally got finished Saturday about 2:30. They finished just in time since most of the guest for the egg hunt were already there. It turned out great and seeing the excitement on Chloe's face made it all worth it. The kids had a ball playing on it after the egg hunt. I think we made a good choice by getting it instead of the trampoline. Maybe next year we can get the trampoline.

New Swing Set





We'll we are in the process of putting together one of those huge wooden swing sets from toys r us. Let me just say, it's worth it to pay someone to do it. We never dreamed how much trouble it would be. But once Chloe gets to play on it, it will all be worth it. This was her birthday presents from us plus some. I should have pictures soon of the work in progess. LOL

Today we had my dad's side of the family over for Easter. We haven't gotten together on Easter since my grandma passed away. It was good to have everyone together. We ate good food, had an easter egg hunt and just hung out. After all of that, all of us with kids headed to the mall to get their picture made w/ the Easter bunny. I was very upset, b/c they use to let you take your own pictures but not anymore. Whatever! All in all it was a good day and the weather was wonderful.
