Easter

March 22, 2008

 
the moment we arrive samantha wants to start hunting... but we still have some people to wait for.

christopher on the other hand... is happy just being on the ground.

the christmas cactus is blooming? doesn't it know it's easter?!

the house is nicely decorated.

grandma & grandpa arrive.

the girls have matching dresses.

and the boys are being boys.

befoer we can go hunting... we need to eat so we will have lots of energy.

the kids are full of energy and ready to go!

 
jo is off to a good start.

 
sam is not having any troubles either

 
her basket keeps getting more and more full

ewwwwww... that's not candy!

what's in here?

oooooo... pretty!

 
jo & sam take a minute to show each other what they've found

and then right back to searching.

 
it's fun to see her get excited about every chocolate she finds.

the kids show grandpa what they found.

meanwhile opa is still doing the dishes :P

think the kids would like to trade some of their chocolate for fruit?

christopher found that the easter bunny left something in the crib for him

carrots?

we head outside to continue the hunt.

an easter landscape

searching the bushes

and under the trees

 
everyone duck.

 
sammy is doing well outside also.

a sign of spring.

double checking the bushes.

 
yummy!

burp! all gone!

 
everyone is enjoying themselves.

while others are still doing dishes!

 
colouring time.

colouring keeps the kids calm & quiet.

 
time to get they all sugared up again! ;P

 
mmmmm... cake!

jo just keeps going and going...

time for the pecking wars!

this is one evil looking pecker ;)

sammy vs. opa

rubby vs. jo

christopher is happy that no one mistook his head for an egg!

 
a little more playing before we head back home.

no surprise that christopher falls asleep on the way home.
