Easter 2013: a post where I ramble

Easter weekend this year was crazy SUPER busy. Thursday night I had all our out of towners plus the Days over for a just because I felt like it dinner. (I do stuff like that…)

But lets rewind. Jake arrived Sunday and Kaylee and I were very outnumbered all week with boy stuff. 🙂

Thursday Jon’s parents,  youngest sister (and her three cuties), and bother Jerris and his cute family got to town.

It was a fun night.

Play group rescheduled their Easter egg hunt to Friday morning. We skipped out because Friday was also Kaylee’s Birthday and party followed by Josh and Emily’s (Let’s just call them Joshily. Yes?)  pre-wedding family dinner that night. Also a day of family and fun.

Saturday was wedding day. And this a true testament to how crazy busy I was ALL weekend. I did not take ONE.SINGLE.PICTURE! The shame. Instead I was all, “Jon grab the camera!” and  “Dad! Take a picture!”  And they did, but I still hang my head in shame now….

So I have to wait for photos from the pro photographers. Booo.

Sunday the kiddos got spoiled with both sets of grandparents going to church with them. Four grandparents for two kids. Ya, they LOVED it.

Jon and I had decided to scrap the whole Easter egg hunt this year. Busy weekend and all. Ya, that plan fell through.

Kaylee upon arriving home from church says, “I am so excited to see what the Easter Bunny brought us!”

Me,”Ummm, I don’t think he has come yet. He is really busy today. If you wait a few minutes for him to finish at other houses we can go see what he brought. Okay?….”

Then I ran into my room and pulled out all the stuff I bought, but never put together. Good thing we skipped out on playgroup! Jon and I stuffed eggs like mad folk, and then he and Jake snuck outside and hid the eggs.

Kaylee was all, “WOW! The Easter bunny is fast.” You could hear the crickets after that remark…..

While they were out hunting eggs the ummm Easter Bunny left them some fun summer baskets. Kick boards and goggles for swimming, fun band-aids, and new sidewalk chalk were discovered in their new sandbox buckets and shovels. Plus their letter from Great Grandma Sapp.

IMG_7725Easter Sunday I had EVERYONE over for Thanksgiving dinner.  It was Yumm-O.  It was a crazy busy, but SUPER fun family weekend. We love our family so much, and love any excuse to see them and hang out.

The children ended their festivities playing Kaylee’s new Scooby-Do matching game with Papa. Regan stomped them. BAD!

He gave Papa a, “Great job matching game Papa!”, before heading off to bed.
