Celebrating Easter

No more apologies about how behind I am ... here are our pictures from Easter:

Amaya was very excited about diving into her Easter basket:

Amaya's Easter Basket used to be mine. My mom made it for me in 1986 and now I've passed it on to her. We gave her a Dora painting book, a Dora video, and a new outfit from Gymboree:


One of my favorite traditions of Easter is filling the eggs with candy and money and hiding them for our nephew and nieces to find. This time, Amaya was a very active participant. In order to be fair to the little ones - Amaya and Miles - we hid eggs in my parent's front yard for them to find and hid eggs in the back yard for the older kids to find.

"Look Mom! I found one!

Helping each other out:

Annika finding an egg in the bushes:

Lydia, obviously having a great time:

Ben, finding one stuck in the tree:

He needed a little bit more of a challenge:
