Easter 2010
This is the first year that Austin really got the whole "Easter" thing, with the egg hunt and everything. He wasn't really into it last year. So this year, we planned to go to church in Auburn (thanks again, Jennifer for inviting us!), so Austin could be reunited with his little cousin Karli who he made friends with when my parents were visiting a few months ago. And so he could meet his other little cousins Jayce and Garrett. Also, this is the first time Kristi and I have spent Easter together since we were kids. (Somewhere there are pics of us when we were little kids in our Easter outfits-haven't located them yet.) We were really looking forward our visit on Sunday! And to visiting with lots of people we hadn't seen in ages, and many that Chris hadn't even met.
So our day started bright and early!
The Outfit.
The basket.
Drawing on the dry erase board after the morning church service. Then everyone had lunch together-yummy potluck!
After the potluck, Kristi showed off her music teacher-y skills and taught the kids a funny song.
Oh, and funny it was!! LOL She will kill me for posting that one, but I love it! I love Kristi!! I can feel the happiness jumping right out of the picture!
Someone else read them a book.. (I think during these things, the adults were outside hiding the eggs.)
Ready for the hunt!! (I forgot to bring Austin's basket!)
Holli gave a fab speech to the little ones about sharing and not fighting over the eggs.
Um, jackpot!
At one point, he had his own personal secretary holding his bag.
Karli has a basket full.. I don't know how Holli's boys managed to escape my camera. I'm sad that I didn't get a picture of them or a group picture of the kids. They are some ADORABLE boys!!
An egg shaped like a carrot!
Run, RUN!
..and more running..that's him in the background.. And I gotta hand it to Kristi. It was cold, and by cold, I mean FURRRRR-EEEEEzing! And she still went with the springy Easter outfit with sandals. Topped off by her winter coat! When we left to come home later that afternoon, it had started spitting rain, and I half expected it to snow!
I love you Kristi! Can't believe your toes didn't snap! I went for the boots and jean jacket and still froze! Sandals? NO WAY. Not freezing my toes off, I need them to walk!

All the kids sat around opening their eggs, and trading with each other if they wanted.

Thanks again for all your hospitality, guys. We had soo much fun. Austin fell asleep on the way home, he was so beat. We'll have to come back next year, and bring the little plastic eggs we brought home.. refilled with some new little treats!
