Happy Easter!

We had another great Easter this year with our families. We started the day with 8:00 am mass with our and Amber and Tony's families, followed by a few family pictures. We then brought out the Easter baskets and enjoyed watching the kids open them including a classic meltdown by Genevieve because she only liked ONE of the Little Pony sets she received :). After relaxing a little bit, we headed to Opa and Kathleen's to prepare brunch, visit, and hide Easter eggs! Around noon James and Jenn's, Marcus', Duane and Mary's, & David and Amy's families joined us for brunch and the hunt. Genevieve had so much fun looking for eggs with Daddy as her partner! Cade and Willem played lots of basketball with their cousins, Pascal, Roman and Daniel and all the cousins seemed to really enjoyed each other. It was so much fun to have Tucker and Davida there too. And then there was the annual trading of candy. At 3:00 we went to Chad's mom and dad's house for a delicious dinner, more egg hunting and lots of relaxing and visiting. What a fabulous day!!


Ready to open Easter baskets! 



Another classic pic that Cade and Willem laughed at for a good five minutes this evening :)

Love my daughters!

Opa's House! 


Willem showing some love! 


Tucker!!

So cute to see Nev and Nia running with joy as they searched for eggs! 



Gabrielle teamed up with Jacoby


Tucker LOVED the candy :)


Love these pictures!

These three cousins are still the best of friends

 
 Genevieve was a tough bargainer during the candy exchange!

Such a cool picture of our girl

We didn't get a picture of Davida as she went down for a nap but I wanted to include her in my Easter post so I stole this from Amber's camera. She took a ton of absolutely beautiful pictures of Davida this past week which I'm sure will post soon. Amber gets all the credit for this great picture!!

Love these fun ones of Cade and Elle with cousins Pascal and Selene

 

Grandma with her girls  

 The picture on the right cracks me up with Will and Nev's faces after Willem got an egg right as Nev was grabbing for it too!
 
 Also wanted to include these fun pictures of earlier in the week when our kids decorated these bunny cookies. Love how they have so much fun together.

Love the sunshine & Elle's gorgeous outfit & the crazy boy cousins & Nia's headband & the fun pictures of Nev with Chad & Opa's house & adorable Davida & candy-messy Tucker... Great job getting this posted :) I've been trying the past two nights but just crash from pregnancy exhaustion WAY too early. Man! Thanks for hosting us again for Easter. LOVE that we can celebrate together :)
