Easter was a GREAT day, as Cassie woke up to the Easter bunny having hid the 18 eggs that we colored the night before, and he left her a huge basket full of goodies!! We were even more surprised to see that a very special neighbor had also played Easter bunny and put a bunch of plastic eggs in our front flower bed and yard, it was amazing surprise for all of us. The morning continued with a quick trip to Mimi and Papa's house to drop off some gifts and say hello (and of course get another goodie filled basket for the kids!). My sister and her family came over at about 10:30 to enjoy an Easter brunch of home made breakfast pizza, coffee cake, and other great goodies. Earlier in the morning I hid about 60 plastic filled eggs, and while we waited for it to warm up enough for the kids to go find them, my sister and I went out of a 9 mile run! There are a bunch of pictures from the weekend (as well as a few more), but these are only just a handful of the billion that I captured, you can see all of the ones that I put in the Easter album by clicking at the link on the bottom.
We managed to end the weekend with a round of colds for the entire family - what fun!! Unfortunately Austin and I still seem to be battling the worst of it, and on Tuesday we took him to the pediatrician to find that his extreme fussiness was from having another pair of ear infections, one of which had ruptured and was leaking fluid - ug!!! He seems in better spirits this morning for the first time in what feels like forever. This coming weekend is supposed to be in the 80's here (how excited are we!!!!) so I am sure that I will have the camera out to capture all of our outdoor fun!!!
A snapshot of the kids from Easter morning, at least they are looking at the camera even if they aren't smiling!

On the egg hunt - soo excited to be finding the eggs that she had colored the night before, and notice that there is a blue peep in her hand? Don't let anything happen to the peep!
Venturing outside on a chilly morning to gather the eggs from our neighborhood Easter bunny (needless to say that we were all quite shocked when we saw the eggs out front, what a wonderful surprise!!!)
