Easter

I've been kind of a slacker lately with posting. We went to California and there was Easter...I have taken over 200 pictures since the last post, so it's kind of an overwhelming task!
We'll start with Easter weekend.


First on Friday night we went to Jeff's parents' house for an Easter Egg Hunt and to color eggs...

Uncle Jared and Aunt Kay
Caleb getting the egg!! Jeff's little bro Matt helped hide eggs, so some were a little tricky to find!



Then on Saturday we drove out to California! I hadn't been home since Thanksgiving time and I was so ready for it! We stayed for a week!

The drive was great. We made it in about 9 1/2 hours...which is really fast! We only stopped one time, in Battle Mountain, and the kids were really good!


The drive...



Jeff sleeping with his favorite stuffed Dora!
Jeff fell asleep and Chloe thought it would be funny if she put Dora on him to make it look like he was snuggling her while he slept!




Our favorite thing is when they all fall asleep at the same time! Dora looks freakishly awake!
Coloring eggs and getting my hair done Saturday night after we got there!
Me, Caleb, Chloe and Abbie



Easter Sunday...
The kids! I made their outfits (well not Caleb's whole outfit, just his tie!) I liked how they turned out!

Claire was having a rough time!



Allyson, Ashlyn, Lindsey and me! I love taking silly pictures!


Grandma and Mom


All the kids! All 19 of them!




The kids rushing out the door to find the eggs!



trying to get a good family picture! Not always an easy task!



I had so much fun in California!! There were 39 people (19 kids) over for Easter dinner and I LOVED it! I miss being there seeing everyone all the time so I had a blast! It was a last minute decision to go and I'm SO glad we did! Thanks for everything mom and dad...we love you guys!


More pictures to come...
