Alaina joined us later after the movie. She went to Hanna Montana and thought it was good, but not as good as she thought it would be. 
The next day, my sister Danielle came over with Aidan and Nevie to color eggs-I think this is the 3rd year in a row we've done this. Aidan and Neve were excited and I wish I had more eggs to color-is it ever really enough at there age, though? Aidan was Mr. scientist and mixing and creating all sorts of colors-I loved watching his excitement! Nevie on the other hand only wanted pink and that was the only color she used. She had fun using stickers, too. 
Maybe we should color that easter egg under your shirt? Hehehe.
Easter morning I decided to do a treasure hunt for the kids to find their baskets. They had so much fun and Sawyer got sooo into it! Alaina said this was a great thing to do (: I was secretly sad that Jonnie wasn't here to join them. I'll have to create his own treasure hunt went he gets home.
Alaina is so good with her little brother-so helpful and kind.
Yay, they figured out all the clues and found their baskets under the kitchen table! 
Here's Alaina trying to act excited for the picture. 
After our own basket hunt and breakfast, we headed off to church and then to Grandma K's for an easter egg hunt and lunch. I love seeing all the excitement from all the kids running around! Each child has there own color to search for, which prevents a lot of fighting (:
Here's Tucker. Next easter he will have a little brother or sister to help find eggs!
Here's Alaina in her Easter dress. I should mention that she broke her little toe yesterday (we think anyway) so we had it wrapped up and she couldn't wear her dress shoes. Luckily she had some white flip flops that she could comfortably get her toe in.
He is such a happy boy!
Alaina and Kate.
Here's the crew minus one. Sawyer, Alaina, Kate, Tucker, and Hunter. They all received some pretty cool stuff from Grandma after this, but unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the baskets.
After eating lunch, the dad's took the kids out and flew kites. It was adorable! I have to get pictures from Karen because I was all out! Daddy and Sawyer got their's up right away! 
So, that concludes our Easter weekend. I had a great time watching the kids' joy and excitement once again and hope that you all had a great Easter, as well!

Sounds like a great Easter to me!!! I love seeing pics of your family! They are such acute kids! (can we call Alaina a kid anymore??) At the movies with a friend? Is she that old already? Geesh! Wish we lived closer we could all get together for a family reunion more often! Aven would love to plan with everyone!!!
that was supposed to be cute and play :)
Yeah, our day at the movies wasn't such a day at the park. After the movie, we went to find a pay phone. We could find any so my friend, Rossy, found a group of officers and asked them if there were any pay phones in the mall. They said no. So now we had no way of contacting her mom. I was starting to panic. We searched for a store likely to have a phone handy. We went to an ice cream store and they said they didn't have a phone. Then we went to a pizza place. She said to try the phone store. DUUUH. We were on our way when the lady from the ice cream shop came to meet us to tell us that she had a phone. So we went to the store again and went to the back to dial her mom. We contacted her okay, then we went to the doors and waited. Her mom came and took me home. At the exact time we drove in my driveway, mom was coming from the other direction. I got out of Rossy's car and hopped in moms. Then we drove to grandmas to paint easter eggs.
