Easter/Conference Weekend

This year the semi annual Gaming weekend was at our house.  It also happened to be Easter weekend so we had an "eggtra" good time!  On Saturday morning the Easter bunny hid the kids' baskets and left them clues to find them.  Then the kids each found 10 candy filled eggs hidden throughout the house.

Mikele is reading one of the clues.

The KKK (Kassie, Katelynn and Kambrea) are now 3!

Allie and Jordynn chatting.

Down the stairs. . . 

. . . back up the stairs. Watch out Grandma!

We finally found the baskets! Brock and Mikele each got a new watch that actually keeps time! I don't think the Easter Bunny got these from the dollar store and it made all the difference.

Kassie got a pooping cow! She couldn't wait to show her buddy Grant who has a pooping moose.

Allie didn't get any treats but she did get a puppet frog that sings to her and a toy!

"This is what I really want. CHOCOLATE!!!"

Now that we have our baskets we can find the eggs!

These eggs are everywhere!

"Look Brock! Another Egg!"

Easter Egg Rice Crispy Treats! 
(my Mom made these)

Jelly Bean nests 
(also made by my Mom)

We ate all our meals out in the garage. It worked pretty good. 
There was plenty of room and easy to clean up.
Kambrea's birthday was on Monday so we sang to her Sunday while everyone was together. 
I hope you have a GREAT Birthday!!!

We had a great weekend! The guys set up all 8 computers in my scrapbook room.  I told them that they better make sure my very girly room does not have a stinky man smell when they left.  Jason was sure to leave the window open and let it air out when they were done.  I think everyone had a great time. The only thing that could have been better was the weather.  It was pretty chilly so we didn't spend much time outside.
