Easter weekend

We had such a fun weekend. Friday night we colored Easter eggs and I forgot to take any pictures. I wish I would have because Doran's face when we pulled the first egg out of the dye was priceless.
Saturday we had Granny's Easter egg hunt, which to some is known as the hunt of the century! She always does so much and all the grandkids love it. Doran has been so excited and has been talking about it since St. Patrick's Day.
Here are some of the kids watching the eggs and treats get 'hidden'.
I was pretty sad that Seth had to work all weekend. He didn't make it to a single family get together. But since he wasn't there, Brooks helped Doran hunt and I helped Brock. Doran got so much stuff he almost had his Jr. bag full. Brock probably got 20 things.

Jayce is the best hunter there is. She always gets the most stuff. I think the look on her face shows how much she loves it!
Brock found a thing of bubbles but it had been broken open. He was very concerned because once he found those he no longer wanter to hunt he just wanted to blow bubbles and how can he blow bubbles if they are spilled? He kept saying "I found 'em Mommy. Oh no, they're gone!"
Easter morning! So fun! I was in my room getting ready when I heard a sound in the family room. I came out and Brock was just sitting on the fire place going through his basket. He had found the little Easter egg gum and was trying to get it open. He didn't get that it was a special day. So I gasped really loud and excitedly hoping Doran would wake up, he did! He came running and yelled "Oh my goodness!" The rest of the morning he just talked about how the Easter bunny was so quiet, he came in and didn't even wake anyone up with his hoppin'!

Once I got the boys ready we went over to Grandma and Papa K's for breakfast. It was so good! Kevin made a breakfast casserole that was full of jalepenos and it was out of this world! They gave all the grandkids cute outfits and treats in a little sand bucket.
Then we got to come home and enjoy a quiet morning and afternoon of conference and toys! Then we went over to Nate and Samantha's for the Engman Easter party! Nate and Samantha got the coolest playground this week for their kids and my boys were in heaven! (I would be too... in fact I was even a little tempted to climb in and play ;) )

Brock had the time of his life! He would still be playing now even though it is freezing. I think it is the first Easter I remember waking up to snow!
Then we had another Easter egg hunt! Brock still didn't get very many eggs and Doran was mad he had to stop! After the hunt was over they both started getting really whiney and Brock made me hold him non-stop. So I decided it was time to go home... Brock was asleep in the car before we made it 30 seconds! It is a good thing we only live a mile away from them!

What a fun weekend! You were busy. I can just picture how cute Doran was when he said, "Oh my goodness". Talk to you soon. :) I've missed visiting at the dog park. We need to get together again for a craft night. Or go get pedicures.
