Easter Week/Weekend

Well, I'm finally getting some time to sit down and upload some photos from Easter. We had a wonderful holiday! It started on Tuesday night with Van's family. We celebrated my birthday, Van's grandmother's birthday, and Easter all at once with a lovely dinner and an egg hunt for the boys. All of those photos are on Van's computer in iPhoto, so I can't get to them right now.

The following Thursday, Evan had his Easter class party and had a blast!




Saturday was my 29th birthday (yeah, big 3-0 coming up next year!), and Van took me out of town to eat and find an Easter outfit. We ate at my FAVORITE Mexican food restaurant, Abuelo's. Yum! That night, we went to my sister's house and let the kids color eggs with their cousins. Always messy...but always fun!



On Easter Sunday, I got up early and starting getting things ready for church. Van is the praise & worship leader, so he is always gone early on Sunday mornings, leaving me to get the boys ready by myself. This can sometimes be quite a task, but they were very cooperative on Sunday morning and looked incredibly handsome in their little suits I bought at JC Penney. They even let me take a couple of quick pics of them before heading to church!






We had a church Easter egg hunt right after the service. Before the hunt, my sister snapped this family photo of us:



Here are a couple of church egg hunt pics:




And finally....one more egg hunt! This time, we went to my parents' land out in the country and let the kids hunt eggs. We had some long-time family friends, Trisha's best friend's family, my Papa, and our little "adopted" boys (Michael & Jackie) join us....the more the merrier! The weather was absolutely GORGEOUS...we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day!




Whew, what a week/weekend! It was busy, busy, but it was a lot of fun. Now if I could just find time to scrap all these pictures!!!!!!!
