Happy Easter

Easter was spent waking up at Brian & Devin's house to the Baskets the Easter Bunny dropped off. The Easter Bunny was extra special this year and brought the kids way too many gifts. He even stopped at Great Grandma's house to drop off some baskets.

This is Addison's Basket. I think she was more interested in the basket itself rather than what was inside of it.

Carter, Ben, Addy & Reese's basket. Reese must have been a really good girl, she had the biggest basket.

Ben's basket consisted of a Cubs backpack, basketball shorts and GOLF BALLS. Of course the golf balls were his favorite. He even sleeps with 1 each night.

I think Carter was showing me his muscles

Ben super excited about the Sponge Bob golf balls the bunny left in his Eggs.

Reese sticking out tounge, waiting for a lick of Addy's sucker

Smiling with Ben's Spiderman Tatoo's

The fab 4 :)

Addy acting shy with one of her Easter gifts from Grandma & Grandpa

Our beautiful children

Great Grandma's Easter Egg hunt

Addy stole the boys suckers when they weren't looking and ran....

Enjoying the stolen goods...her 1st sucker!
I think she's addicted!

Easter Egg Hunt and Egg Coloring

We attempted to go to the Easter egg hunt in Granville, but missed it by 10 minutes. But Daddy and Madoo took care of hiding some more eggs for the kids to find. They had a good time being able to run around outside and eat some of the candy Carter collected.

Ben was showing Addy all of his Eggs.

Carter giving us his best smile in the cold wind.

Reese all bundled up, enjoying the day.

Ben trying to figure out what he's suppose to do.

Elena wondering what the whole point of this is....

Then there's my lil pretty, if there's chocolate, she's all over it.

Trying to run from us as we try to take the candy away.. unfortunately for her she ran into the fence.

After the Easter Egg hunt we went over to Madoo's and Papa's to color egss with all of Carter and Reese's counsin. The kids had fun coloring the eggs for about 5 minutes, then they wanted to run around outside. It was too cold for me, but they didn't seem to care.

Carter was really concentrating on his green Egg.

Trying to get a picture with all of the kids.

Carter, Haley, Reese, Ben and Addy

The finished product! They looked and tasted Great!

Beautiful Jamaica

Going back to Jamaica for a 2nd time made me remember back to my Wedding and realize how lucky Art and I were to start our new lives together as husband and wife! Jamaica is absolutely beautiful and once again we had a fabulous time! Great weather, great resort, great food...well most of the group agree'd, great Night Rider shots, great friends and best of all Great Memories. It was so nice to be able relax and unwind, leaving everyday stress behind us. I had a hard time leaving my babies, but they were in great hands at Grandpa daycare. ( He promised me they were very good and didn't throw any fits at all....but I guess when you are given anything you want, there's no need to demand it! :)
