Easter Sunday

We really lucked out and had a beautiful sunny Easter. The people in Western Washington where we live had rain...which made being in Spokane even better! We woke up Easter morning and went to church which starts at 9:00. Afterwards, we went back to Sue and Richards and took some pictures before the kids went on their Easter hunt. I tried so hard to get some good pictures of the kids but they were not cooperating. Kaiya is super sensitive to the sun...but only when I am trying to get pictures...so it resulted in tears. I know...I am a mean mom!!! ha ha. One day they will thank me. Hopefully.

And here are some of the ones with tears involved. There are many MANY more of these than good ones.

Even Jett wanted it to be over with!

We went inside and the kids got their Easter baskets. When I grew up the Easter bunny didn't come to my house. My parents thought it was silly that a bunny bounced around and hid eggs. Which I think is funny since we had a Santa who had flying reindeer. HA! My dad would hide eggs for us sometime on Sunday. I have tried to do the whole traditional Easter basket/East bunny thing but its hard for me. I do it about every other year. The weird thing is Kaiya hasn't ever asked why...she just goes with the flow!

After Easter baskets the kids got to go outside and hunt for eggs. There was plenty of eggs so Auntie Em also joined in on the fun!

We then got ready for Easter dinner. It seems like my blogs are always centered around food while we are in Spokane but we seriously have the best food I have had! Cirdan and the girls helped Grandpa with his very delicious rolls. They helped roll some.

Yummmmm

Kim made these cupcakes for dessert

We celebrated Kaiya, Ella, Cirdan and Sue's birthday. We knew that we would be celebrating Sue's birthday a couple weeks later at a surprise party in her honor so we wanted to throw her off.

The kids had fun playing outside all weekend.
