Easter 2009

I hope everyone had a GREAT Easter!!! We sure did (even though the weather didn't really cooperate)!!

We went to church with my Mom and Dad on Sunday April 5, so we could celebrate Easter at their house afterwards!! These weren't the kids Easter clothes, but they still looked adorable!!! Notice, Avery has his coo-coo (his blanket). We don't leave home without it!!!
This is my brother Chris and his girlfriends (LeighAnn) kids Rylee and Aiden!! Rylee is a few months older than Lily and Aiden is a few months younger than Avery!! They all get along really well!!

Lily and Rylee running for the same egg!!!!

Avery found an egg in the chicken!!!

She's loving the pink egg!!!

Avery was stalled...he decided he needed to open every egg he found!!! So stinkin cute, that one!!!

She was starting to get upset with me, cause I kept making her stop running around so I could get some pictures!! But I don't regret it!! I got some good pics!!!

I love this picture...you can see the egg and his little hand reaching down to get it!!!

Daddy and Avery...I also LOVE this picture!!!

The kids baskets!!! We decided to hide eggs in our bedroom and bathroom this year. Just to kinda change things up. It's really amazing how many hiding places you can find in a bathroom!!!!

Lily got the new Barbie movie "Thumbalina". She's REALLY been wanting it, so it was an easy gift to get!!

Anything "Thomas" will bring a smile to Avery's face!!! It's there, trust me, it's just behind the paci!!!

Like I said, there are a ton of hiding places in the bathroom!!!

Desperately looking for more eggs!!!!

They are all dressed up in their Easter clothes - kinda. I was WAY to cold for them to go like I wanted, but it worked. Avery's outfit had some khaki overall shorts that went with it, but we just put some black cords on instead. Lily got some tights and a sweater added to hers!!! They just looked so stinkin cute. I straightened Lily's hair for the first time ever. It looked really pretty!!! She has this very slight wave to her hair, so to see it super straight was super cool!!!

Oops, I forgot to take the red eye out...oh well!!!

The kids (Lily, Kendra, and Avery) were being silly and putting their baskets on their heads!!! Avery got mad and sat down to pout...not sure why he got mad, but that's just the way he is!!!! The girls were having a GREAT time though!!!

Avery found an egg on the back of the couch and then decided it would be fun to jump around on it, since he wouldn't get into trouble!!!! It's almost like he's saying "Ha, Ha Nana!!".

Yes, again I made her stop running around looking for eggs, and pose for a picture!!!
