Lillie Tumbling/Cheer Performance

Easter 2011

Easter was a lot of fun this year. Unfortunately I don't have many pictures of the actual Easter morning and the girls with their baskets because they woke us up at 4:30am!! Lillie was too excited and couldn't stand it. We got "wak-up calls" every 20 min until we finally gave in at 6:30. Brad and I were so tired all day. I did get a picture of our lolipops that grew in the backyard. Every year on the night before Easter each of our girls gets to plant a few jelly beans in the backyard and through the magic of Easter a lolipop will grow overnight and be there in the morning when they get up. This is a fun tradition that I found online a few years ago and my kids LOVE it.

Every year we have a big Egg Hunt at my parents house with all the cousins. The kids always have a great time. My mom does such a good job filling all those eggs with fun things and organizing the whole thing.


We had an Egg Hunt/Breakfast at the park by our house with some friends. One of the ladies had some potato sacks for races and this was the big hit of the day. It was so cute seeing the little ones Lucy's age do it too.

Egg Hunt #3 (our kids are soooo spoiled) was just before Easter Dinner at Nana Lisa's house. Brad's grandparents, Aunt Lindy and Uncle Mike, her parents from England, and my sister Natalie's family were there. It was yummy food and lots more candy!
