EASTER

Granddaughter Shelby, grandson Elijah and son in law Jerry stylin on this soggy Easter Sunday.

Neil and me with our Myers Peeps

This is grandson Knox’s second Easter.

Holly and the kids made these beautiful Easter eggs and deviled eggs. Delicious eye candy!

Elijah looks like the mushroom character in Mario Bros. with his Easter basket on upside down.

Niece Sarah lovin on Shelby

We were forced to hide eggs in the house this year, but that just made the hunt more of a challenge. Sort of.

Knox was excited about his Elmo Easter basket.

The hunt spilled out onto the front porch where Elijah checks out the contents of one of his eggs.

Knox got into the hunt ~ with a little help from Aunt Holly.

I love this smile on Elijah’s face. Makes me smile.

Sarah is beyond the egg hunt stage, but she did have to look for her prize egg which she found in the kettle on the woodstove.

Niece Julia found her prize egg pretty easily, too.

And so did Shelby.

It took Elijah a while to locate his. Grandpa hid it well.

My Easter Peeps ~ Elijah, Sarah, Knox, Julia, and Shelby. I love our Easter egg hunt tradition which means more to me each year as these kids grow older. Love all of you!

“I’m all ears!” What’s Easter without a chocolate bunny?!
Happy Easter!

Chasing Chicks

Grandson Knox got to meet two of his cousin Shelby and Elijah’s Easter chicks this afternoon. He had a great time chasing them.

And almost catching them.

He didn’t get to hold one [for obvious reasons] but he did happily and briefly pet one. Shelby and Elijah have six chicks. Elijah named his Junior, Bob, and Mario. Shelby named hers Shelly, Lou Lou, and Chicketa [my favorite name of all]. All the peeps [bird and human] will be joining us for the Easter egg hunt in the back yard on Sunday. We’re hoping the rain will be gone by then.

Happy Easter!

Day One Hundred Fourteen 2011

Easter Egg Hunt! The kids had fun hunting eggs this afternoon in our back yard. Finding their prize eggs was a challenge, but they prevailed (after a little coaching by the people who hid the eggs a little too well). This is one of my favorite times of the year. I love keeping this tradition with my PEEPS! Happy Easter!

Day Ninety Four

Easter Fun

Grand kids Shelby and Elijah all decked out in their new Easter outfits.

Shelby and Elijah and daughter Kelly and son in law Jerry shoot Nerf missiles at each other.

Elijah and niece Julia hunt for those elusive hidden eggs. Some were harder to find than others. Just ask Julia whose prize egg refused to be found until her mom dug it out from under some thick plants. Hubby Neil found a prize egg from last year. Still had the five dollar bill inside.

Daughter Holly, niece Julia, daughter Kelly, niece Sarah, granddaughter Shelby, sister Jane (and Buddy Cat) enjoyed eating Holly's decorated hard boiled Easter eggs and all sorts of Easter candy treats.

Grandpa and Elijah peel and eat yummy hard boiled eggs.

Later this afternoon, Shelby practiced her roller skating up and down the street with support from her mom. Elijah and Kelly cheered her on. It was a beautiful day and I'm thankful I got to spend it with my loved ones. Happy Easter!
