Easter 2010

Easter this year was pretty laid back for us. We spent it with just our little family in the morning and were able to sleep in which is unusual with the little man but he woke up early and then laid right back down and we got to sleep until almost 10. It was absolutely beautiful. The Easter bunny did come visit Andrew and he got a whole bunch of new clothes, a lion toy that makes noise and has little teethers on it, and a bunch of new movies that he will enjoy someday. But for now mom and dad can enjoy them. James got some new clothes too which he had been badly needing.

That afternoon we spent Easter with our "Austin Family" and had a bbq which was a lot of fun. We counted up and had 11 adults and 19 children. It was quite the full house and I'm glad it was at the Scotts and not my house. :-) All of us brought our own steaks or chicken and we grilled those and Leslie made her wonderful gorgonzola cheese sauce to put on the meat and then the rest of us brought sides. We had enough food to feed twice the amount of people that were there and it was delicious.
Some of the older kids trying to hide from the camera.
And the younger kids having some backyard fun.
And this is Keri with her sassy new haircut that is now also red. So cute.

Then the older kids hid eggs for the younger kids at the park and we had a little easter egg hunt. Here are all the younger kids just ready to go.

Here are a couple of family pics that Betsy was kind enough to snap of us and I love that she caught Andrew smiling. So fun.



Hope you all had a Happy Easter and enjoyed celebrating the true meaning of it with family and friends. And of course enjoying what the Easter Bunny brought you.

Meg I can't wait to see you either.

Kristen - thanks so much. I have to be stylish since I feel totally fat right now. :-) Parenthood is the best. I love him to bits! Need more pics of your cute little one too. Luckily he sleeps through the night most of the time, just not during the day much.
