Easter 2014 Celebrations

We had lots of fun this Easter week/weekend! It started on Thursday afternoon with Carter's class Easter egg hunt and party. Ella and I joined them for the fun!

Ella always makes new friends at Carter's class parties. She definitely thinks she belongs in his class, too!
 Carter's whole class!
Back inside, the kids enjoyed a game of jellybean bingo, made a cute little Easter craft, and decorated an Easter cookie for snack.

He's always so sweet to include his little sis.
 snack time!

Later that evening, we went over to my parents' house for our extended family gathering - an easter egg hunt for the kids and a delicious Easter dinner! My cousin and his family were in town all the way from California, so we had a big group, and a great time!!

 Ella got the hang of it right away!


Love my pretty girl to pieces! 
(She is cooperating more lately with smiling for pictures... yay!!)

 Grandad took all the kids for a ride after the egg hunt!

On Easter morning, we had a wonderful, delicious brunch at Bonnie Ruth's in Frisco with my parents, Andrew and Eric's parents. No pictures from that, but it was so, so good!! Then we headed to our church for a great (but SO packed!) Easter service. When we came home, the Easter bunny had paid the kids a visit with Easter baskets and even left some more eggs to hunt in the backyard!!

I took some pictures with my "real" camera before heading out for the morning, and just look how many smiles I got!! It was so hard to choose a favorite of these two! 

 
 If I HAD to pick a favorite, it might be this one :)
 


.......Or maybe this one :)
 Love this family shot, too! Baby #3 making an appearance, too!
And a few pictures from our egg hunt at home. Ella got so into it!



 So handsome!
 
 So serious.

 All finished up! :)
 Ella said, "Can we go in now?!" She was eager to get inside and get into all those eggs! She knows how this works by now!!

And the rest of our Sunday was spent eating too much candy, relaxing, and watching a movie the Easter bunny brought. Our Easter weekend did also include a lot of baseball, but that'll be in my next post! Wonderful weekend with family celebrating, as always!
