The kids enjoyed the treats in their Easter baskets (not from the Easter Bunny - just from Mom and Dad!).
We arrived at church and took a quick picture out in the snow (it didn't snow much, but this is our second Easter in a row with some flurries!).
Here they are waiting for the Easter egg hunt at church. Aren't they cute?
Monique trying to find more eggs.
Colter showing off his Easter goodies.
Gummie (or "Gummie Bear" as Sabrina called her!) kept the kids entertained with stories while Daddy hid the eggs in the backyard.
Wyatt was excited to find his favorite egg!
Sabrina quickly filled her basket with lots of eggs!
It was a fun day for everyone!
A visit with Gigi would not be complete without Tootsie Pops! Whether we go to Colorado, meet them somewhere in New Mexico or they come to visit us in Texas the boys know Gigi will come with Tootsie Pops in hand. She even sent them with G-pa when he met the boys and Danny for a backpacking trip last summer! Wyatt and Colter had fun sharing this little tradition with their sisters during Gigi and G-pa's recent visit last week.

and lots of outside fun!
Well, he's not actually crawling yet, but Zane is definitely moving - and moving fast! He is very confident going from sitting up, to all fours, to creeping across the floor. The picture below is one in a series of pictures that I took of Zane creeping along to get his moose. However, when he got there he went right past his moose and kept going without even a pause. He reached the camera lens cover, picked it up and started chewing on it! The kids are quickly learning that nothing is safe from Zane when he is on the floor!
After the birthday party, we stopped by Noni and Papa's house for supper. Sabrina and Monique were able to meet Uncle Craig, Aunt Kim and Abi. We tried to get a picture of all six cousins together, but getting everyone to look at the camera and smile was not an easy task! Maybe on Easter...
Monique pretended to call Daddy on the phone and tell him about her day.
Sabrina and Belle playing in the "water works" exhibit. We spent a lot of time here - it was everyone's favorite.
Wyatt and Colter pretending to fly an airplane - complete with commands and sound effects!
Colter's class had their Easter egg hunt on the playground. He had fun and found lots of eggs!
Thankfully Sabrina and Wyatt's classes had their Easter egg hunts at the same house. They hunted on two different sides of the yard, so I just stood in the middle and got pictures of both of them. Sabrina was very proud of all the eggs that she found!
Wyatt did a great job finding eggs that everyone else missed, especially the ones by the fence. He also avoided the hard-boiled eggs (every child brought 6 hard-boiled eggs and 6 plastic candy-filled eggs) and only picked up the plastic eggs! He knew where the good stuff was!
It seemed a little strange to be dyeing Easter eggs so early, but the kids' Easter parties at school were this week because Spring Break is next week. We'll dye eggs again before Easter for our own egg hunt. All the kids had fun, especially Sabrina and Monique who hadn't ever dyed eggs before!
Monique didn't hesitate to use her hand to retrieve her egg from the cup!
Wyatt was, of course, very precise and serious about dyeing his eggs!
Sabrina's favorite egg was her pink one!
We had to work hard to get Colter to give us a real smile and not one of his silly grins for this picture!

Waiting is so hard!
The kids played in the backyard while we waited for all of the party guests to arrive.
We played a fun game of "pin the wheel on the car",
and "hot car" (think "hot potato" with a car!).
Then everyone colored their own wooden race cars.
Finally it was time to sing "Happy Birthday" and blow out candles.
After that the kids ate cake and ice cream,
and Wyatt opened presents.
Then they raced their wooden race cars down the slide.
After the party Wyatt opened some presents from our family,
and then everyone took some time to play with the new toys.
His day ended with a pizza dinner and then playing in the nursery during church. Happy Birthday, Wyatt!
