Easter

We had a wonderful Easter in MN with my family. Besides all the snow in MN (yes, snow about 8in of it), we had a good weekend up there. It was busy as usual, trying to see everyone and having all the kids at my parents all the time. We went to church on Easter morning and then out to brunch. Here are a couple of pictures of Ella and Kaia at brunch.

Ella "smiling"

My mom gave us all Easter baskets, even the "big" kids. Alicia also bought all the kids bunny ears to wear. We never managed to get a picture of all the kids with the ears on, but here is a picture of Ella with her ears on.

We even managed to grab a couple of family pictures while we were still dressed in our nice clothes. Ella is into smiling now when you ask her to, especially for pictures. It's a pretty cheesy smile, but cute.

Cheesy smile!

We did an egg hunt for the kids in the house, since there was snow outside. They had so much fun. Ella didn't quite understand the whole concept yet, but she did get a couple of eggs with a lot of help. It was more fun for her to open the eggs and keep dumping out the contents. The other kids did really well and even Kaia was into it this year. Here are pictures from the hunt.

Finding the first egg

Yeah, I found one!

Besides all the Easter celebrations, Ella enjoyed just playing with her cousins. Here is a picture of her trying to kiss Harley. She was calling him a baby the whole time, it was so cute.
And here is a picture of Alicia reading to all the kids. They were getting pretty tired!
