This is going to be a marathon post. So much happened Easter weekend, it was kind of nuts (you know story of my life). I'm Micah's room mom so I had to plan the kindergarten party. They made baskets, went for an egg hunt, had snacks and we had a surprise visit from the Easter Bunny. The kids kept telling me this was the best Easter party ever, and since they've never had a school Easter party, they really don't have a lot to compare it to. I tried.
I was asked by Mak's room mom to help with her party. Since I haven't been able to help with her class a whole lot, I figured I would help since it is the last party. They had an egg drop contest where they had to make an egg holder to be dropped from the roof of the school. Here's Mak's group making the holder.
Her egg survived. She even made a face for it. They also had an egg hunt and treats later.
I got to see Morg's class do part of their party on our way to Mak's egg hunt.

Saturday was a crazy busy day but we were bound and determined to fit Easter stuff in it. The kids had soccer games and Billy and Alina came down to watch them and help us in our Easter endeavors. Between games, we colored eggs. . .
After the last soccer game we rushed home finish putting together dinner and invited Alina's parents over for dinner. We wanted to squeeze an egg hunt in there, but the weather was soo stinky that it almost didn't happen until Alina's mom offered her class room as the venue. We were really happy to not have to hunt in the rain.
Alina's mom was really cute. She even supplied the candy and eggs. The kids had a great time and she even put on her clown gear for the kids.
Sunday morning the kids got their gifts from the Easter bunny and we headed off to church. After church we went up to Randy's parents for Easter dinner. Randy's brother and family had flown into town for a wedding that weekend and we all wanted to get together at least once. We even got a few family shots while we were there. Unfortunately, McKenzie has decided that she does not want to show her teeth when she smiles so she looks angry all of the time. How do I convince her that she looks worse to keep her mouth closed?
We even got a huge family picture with all of Randy's family, even his grandparents.
Rob's little boy. Gotta love that red hair.

Eah with a baby in her arms, like always.
After dinner and the photos, we had yet another egg hunt that grandma put together. The kids had fun finding more eggs, some with money in it.
It was a fun/crazy/busy weekend, but it was nice being able to be with so much family.
