Happy Easter Basket Day!

Happy Easter! Or, as Amelia likes to call it, "Happy Easter Basket Day!" I guess she didn't get the memo that it's about Jesus and not about Easter baskets full of candy and spring dresses.

The girls woke up this morning and hunted for their Easter baskets from Grandma Diane and Grandpa Wayne. They loved looking for them! Mira's was in the Mushroom House and Amelia found hers in the dryer. Here is a photo of them with their hard-earned baskets:
We had a lovely holiday today with Chris's family. His dad Randy and wife Terrie hosted us:
The kids enjoyed the annual Easter egg hunt. The kids love this tradition and the most exciting part is the 4 eggs hidden with $5 each inside them! The kids found 3 of the 4 eggs, and that last one never was found. We figure we'll find it at the annual 4th of July party or something!

Mira on the hunt:
Amelia with her basket:
Randy gave me a little scare with his daredevil antics to rehang the swing. Heights are NOT my thing!
Enjoying the fruits of his labor:
My sweet girls:
Me and my baby:
Mira, Amelia, and cousin Cara:
Randy and Amelia:
Chris's uncle Steve and aunt Karen surprised us with a visit from Florida.
Mira put her new jump rope to good use right away:
And Ann is just 2 days away from her due date with another little niece for us. Good luck this week, Ann! We'll be thinking about you!
The kids found a turtle outside. Terrie was NOT happy when Randy let it crawl around on the kitchen table:

We hope you all had a lovely holiday! Happy Easter!

I love the last photo; you guys are one good looking family! And in that first picture of the girls, Amelia's hair is GORGEOUS! People pay big bucks to be that shiny and blonde. =)
