Easter Sunday

The kids were very excited to find Easter baskets and new books on the table when they got up. And even more excited when they got to eat a few pieces of chocolate for "dessert" after breakfast!



We got to Mass extra early, which was a good thing, because it was packed. Afterwards, there was an Easter Egg Hunt at our church.

Even the Easter Bunny showed up. Joseph and Anne went over to say hi.



And pose for a picture. Two other little somebodies were a little leery of Peter Cottontail.



Mommy and the children. Luckily, Anthony stayed asleep in his carseat, as it was very windy that day.


And speaking of Anthony!



Back at home, we took some pictures out front. Dominic is looking through his "binoculars" at something.



We took this picture at the perfect time, as shortly all the blooms were blown off the magnolia bush behind the kids. A pity too, because those blossoms smell heavenly.




Anthony dressed in his Easter best.



After a big ham dinner and lots of candy, what is a good way to burn off lots of energy? Easter egg hunts (with empty eggs!) for about 2 hours straight!




After the first hunt with a few squabbles and tears, Dan hid eggs for each of the kids in turn. Here Catherine is finding one in a tree.




Looking for more.



Dominic finds one by the grotto.
