Here comes Peter Cottontail...

The family traveled up to New Jersey this weekend for the annual McDonald Egg Hunt and had a lovely couple of days. The girls are eggs-perts these days at dying and decorating. 

Ellie carefully keeps her egg balanced as she transfers it to the drying rack. 

 

Meanwhile, Evie practiced spelling everyone's names on the eggs before they went into the cups. 

After all the eggs had dried, Daddy helped Ellie add some glue for a sprinkling of pixie dust, er... glitter. 

The girls happily delivered their Easter flowers to Grandma Bebe before the party got started.  Then, the cousins have arrived!  The girls could not be more excited!

The kids line up for our annual picture on the stairs, all smiles on a sunny day. Everyone is getting so big!  Stan (5), Julianna (6), Bryn (3), Molly (6), Ellie (3), and Evie (6).  But, luckily in this family, no one is ever too old for Easter egg hunts!

And they're off!  Evie pauses to show off her bounty so far but Ellie in the background is on the move!

Everyone is a winner today!  Popi hands out an extra treat for all the kids as a reward for some great hunting! After the kids' hunt it was time for the grown-ups, and this year Mom came in first! Daddy was close behind - better luck next year, Daddy. 

Evie and Ellie hold up mom's special craft this year - decoupage eggs that had all the kid's faces on them (and even Popi, Bebe's and Dolly's faces as well!)...although Ellie seems more interested in her jelly beans in her plastic egg. 

We also celebrated Ms. Molly turning 6 with some delicious cupcakes. 

After a delicious lunch, all the kids joined Bebe for some games outside.  This was Ellie's first time playing "Mother May I" and she looks a little confused. 

The girls were partners in crime during hide n' seek - looks like someone got caught by Daddy's camera here! 

Mommy and her lovely girls. 

Look at those delightful smiles!  I guess everyone was getting a kick of Mommy waving her scarf and jumping up and down (as you can see in the reflection).

Thanks to Bebe, Popi and Dolly for hosting another wonderful Easter!
