Happy Easter!

It was such a beautiful Easter day! The kids were so excited to wake up and find that the Easter bunny had brought them toys and hid candy-filled eggs around the house. They also all got matching sunglasses. Great! Because they were all fighting over the same pair of broken, pink sunglasses all the time.

Tanner is hunting for eggs in style.

We went to church with my parents and had an egg hunt that afternoon. The weather was absolutely gorgeous! Perfect blue skies after all the rain we've had lately. It was quite a treat. Here are a few pictures of our fun day.

My mom and the girls walking home from church.



Sydney takes easter egg hunting pretty seriously. She didn't have much competition though. It was just her and Natalie looking for the eggs.


Natalie got really excited about the search for eggs since her big sister was so into it.


Tanner didn't have an ounce of interest in looking for eggs. He wasn't even willing to carry around a basket. He did spend a lot of time jumping on the trampoline and playing on the boulders in the backyard. This made my dad happy. He knew the grandkids would like playing on these rocks someday.


This is pretty much how it goes these days when we try to get a family picture.


Long after all the eggs were found Tanner picked up this basket and looks at us like he's ready to start the Easter egg hunt. A little too late buddy.


My beautiful girls.


Here are all the Ruben grandkids (minus Maci) dressed in their cute Easter apparel. It was so fun that Noah ended up matching my kids!

Your babies look like little Easter angels. I love the dresses (why is something so much cuter when it comes in multiples?) And I love the photo of your mom walking with the girls...she looks the exact same! That woman doesn't age. Well Happy Easter and I'm glad you finally had good weather for it.

cute photos - allie was so sad this year not to be able to wear one of those darling dresses from the CP line of easter clothes. she hasn't actually been able to wear anything from there for a few years now, but this year's line was so cute, she was dying over those orange and turquoise dresses!
