Easter Party 2013

New house, but old traditions.  And boy did this new yard make for a super fun egg hunt. We began, as usual, with the reading of an Easter story.  The only twist this year was that Lily read the book.  My how we have grown!  Easter Party 2008Easter Party 2009Easter Party 2010; Easter Party 2011DSC_0010DSC_0013DSC_0018Front row:  Austin, (7), Sarah Ellen (4), Olivia (4), Autumn (7), Abigail (9), Ava (4), Bailey (9), Matthew (9), Cohen (8),  Back row:  Ryan (6), Thomas (7), Lily (7), Parker (4), Margaret Anne (7).  We missed Porter this year as he was sick but we made sure to hunt some eggs for him and save him a cupcake.DSC_0019

I love how there are eggs all over the ground yet the boys head straight out to the limbs over the water to get the hard ones first.

but Abigail thought different.

Daisy enjoyed the fun day out and about with everyone too.

What started out as a morning with all dressed in long sleeves and jackets ended up as an afternoon with all dressed in bathing suits playing in water filled buckets and pluff mud! Absolute perfection.IMG_7463IMG_7468IMG_7470IMG_7472IMG_7396
