Happy Easter
The Sammis' invited us over for an Easter Brunch on Sunday. We had such a great time. Once everyone gathered, Clay went over the note that the Easter Bunny left him for the rules of the hunt. The toddlers (Holden and Kendall, Gavin too) were to head straight to the grass area for their hunt, the big kids (Carter and Sydney) had everywhere else. Each child had an egg with their name on it to find . The Easter Bunny also left an egg for each couple with their names on it. If anyone found an egg with someone's else name they couldn't take it, but they could re-hide it. The Easter Bunny even left some eggs with Cheerios in them for the little kids! Holden was not much into "hunting" for eggs, but he loved running on the grass and throwing the eggs that we gave him. Another big hit was the Easter grass.
After the hunt, we had a delicious breakfast! Egg casserole, creme brule French toast, five kinds of bacon, fresh fruit, crossiants, mmmmm.....mmmmmmm.......
Next, everyone went out for motorcylce rides. Trey bought a new motorcycle about a week ago, it is identical to the first bike he got when he was eight years old. It has been a huge hit around here since he brought it home. Trey and Holden go for rides around our cul-de-sac numerous times a day. Anyway, he rode it over to the Sammis' and all the kids wanted rides. Holden went first, followed by Sydney with her dad Shane. Sydney loved it and would fling her head back and spread her arms with joy. It was too cute. Next, Clay took Carter and baby Paxton in the Baby Bjorn. They were the most daring of the bunch, even with precious cargo attached to him, Clay let Carter steer for a quick second! Trey took Caydan around next, while the other kids rode the golf cart around with Shane. Shane challenged Trey to a race, golf cart vs. motorcycle around the property. Winner got a dollar. The kids were kicked off and all burst into tears that they couldn't ride. The whole thing was pretty hilarious.
After all the fun, I had to take Holden home for a nap. He was exhausted and fell asleep in the car almost instantly.
What an Easter! I hope we can make a tradition of it - it was a great day.

The pool and gate were more of an interest than Easter eggs.
This way Holden...let's find an egg!
Throwing Eggs
Kind of getting the hang of things (with LOTS of guidance)!
We found his egg!!
Shane and Hill's egg was at the top of the palm tree.
Teamwork, Caydan comes to the rescue.
Trey found our egg!
