Happy Easter!!

We had a wonderful Easter celebration this year. We headed up to Irvine on Friday and started the festivities by decorating eggs. Ty loved it but I wonder if they make a less staining egg dye. I'll be finding that one next year.

Tatum loved the dying, and loved mixing the colors and making up her own.

Ty loved the stickers the best.

What a pretty color Tatum! She called this aqua marine. :)

Saturday we headed down to the Greentree pool for a delicious pancake breakfast before the neighborhood egg hunt. Yum!

Leanne and Isaac came to join us in the hunt.

Ty could barely wait to grab the eggs. He started crying just before they allowed the kids to run in. The suspense was killing him!

But when he got in there, he loved running around and grabbing as many eggs as he could get his hands on.

And Tatum did a pretty good job gathering eggs too.

She even found an egg with the special business card in it! This meant she got to pick a prize from the basket, a stuffed animal of course. ;)

Here's an attempt at a family photo, Ty wasn't too into it. He wanted to hunt for more eggs.

Easter morning Mom and I attended sun rise service and wow, was it packed! We thought just a few people would show but tons of lawn chairs, warm blankets and kids. Lots of fun and very uplifting. What a blessed event. Too bad the weather was over cast. :(

When we got home, both kids were up and couldn't wait to see what the Easter bunny brought! Ty wasn't too sure what all the excitement was about but he loved the basket full of goodies that was left outside!

He also loved a repeat of the egg hunt! He found one! :)

Tatum was nice to let Ty find a few but she was pretty quick and filled her basket up fast.

For some reason, when I'm uploading my pics to the blog, it's putting them out of order. This picture is later in the day when we headed to Arcadia to enjoy Easter dinner with Shauna and the rest of her wonderful family. So sweet of them to include us in their festivities. They put on an egg hunt as well, the third hunt for Ty, he loved it!

Thanks Easter bunny!!

And of course Patti is too sweet to these little kids. They got lots of goodies and treats from the Beaston's and some very cute duds including new bathing suits from Shauna!

Then Caty took Tatum out back to practice pitching with her new ball and mitt she got from the Easter bunny. What a great throw! Thanks Caty! It's best to get lessons from a pro!

All the sisters. From left, Toni, Amber, Tatum, Caty, Ty, me and Shauna.
