Easter Weekend

It was a busy weekend for us- we had so much fun though!

Friday was Earth Day so Elliott rode her scooter to school with her friends. Chris was home with us so he walked to school with her.  Also, he is teaching Junior Achievement for Elliott's class. Its a 6 week economics lesson. Friday was the first day and he really enjoyed it. Elliott was so excited to have Daddy be at the school to teach!

Patton, Berkley and I went to an Easter party at Rylee's BFF Addie's house.  We've become good friends with them too and we had so much fun at the party! Here are the girls doing a craft. Rylee and Berkley were the last 2 at the table. I think they would have stayed there for the whole party if we had let them!

Outside hunting eggs. Rylee was so cute- we brought eggs shaped like animals. So every time she found one she took it to Berkley.

They were on opposite sides of the gate at this point so Rylee was passing them to her through the gate.

Berkley really got into hunting eggs this year. The day before we played egg hunt forever. Taking turns hiding the eggs for each other. She thought it was so fun! Isn't her El Fenix tattoo classy with her Easter clothes?

A picture of all the kids. nice huh?

Saturday Elliott wanted to teach Berkley to ride her scooter. We've really dropped the ball on this kid and her biking/scooter abilities. Maybe because she isn't the least bit interested. Elliott got her all ready in safety gear. (To tell you the truth it would probably be best if this is how she always played outside. She falls down more than anyone I know.)

She rode the scooter for less than a minute.

We went inside to decorate eggs!

Berkley wasn't too into the dipping thing. The little egg grabber was too hard for her and she surely wasn't going to dip her hands in to get them like Elliott. So we got her a paint brush and she had lots of fun painting them. Still with the El Fenix tattoo. Luckily I finally found the baby oil and got it off!

Easter morning Elliott was up at SIX THIRTY. Unfortunately we forgot to have a conversation with her about Easter morning rules, like not coming into our room 100 times.  Finally we allowed her to wake Berkley up at 8 to get all the fun started.

The Easter Bunny left a hunt for the girls with clues.

Elliott is so good at reading all the clues all by herself!

Berkley waiting for the next clue and hanging out with her "Belle Snapper" the Easter Bunny brought.

The Easter Bunny left caterpillars and a Butterfly habitat for them! We are enjoying watching our caterpillars grow.

Now we're hunting eggs.

That Bunny sure did get them in some tough spots!

Berkley took a mid hunt break to eat candy out of an egg she dropped.

PJ finally rolled out of bed to see what all the fuss was about.  He looks so impressed.

 After church we went to my parents house to hang out. Another fabulous Easter Family Photo.

 Not fun to try to get a picture of 3 kids when someone is being crazy.

 This is probably right after I told her I would eat all the candy out of the basket at Grammy's house if she didn't take a picture for me. (Notice Patton's cute shoes?)

 I decided to try to take some pics of Bax since I took all those ones last year on Easter when he was a puppy.  They are all from this angle because whenever I got on the ground with him he would run and attack me.  Its a good thing he's adorable!

 Today we went to the school for their monthly celebration assembly. Elliott got the Star of the Month for demonstrating the core value of Humility. Such a sweet girl!
