EASTER 2012
We kicked off the Easter festivities with our annual "Color the eggs with the Grannies" party! It's becoming a tradition that Gail and I have an easter egg coloring party with Zane and JJ each year. The boys did a fantastic job, we had tons of beautifully colored eggs...and hands!
On Easter we had an egg hunt at our house and then an Easter BBQ. We ate out on the patio.... Yup, that's why we love Arizona! It was a primo day!
John was just starting to get Bronchitis and Gail and Alex were feeling pretty crummy too, but we trudged through and had a fun Easter! Take a look.....

| Seriously busy.... |
 |
| My "Nana" egg that Zane made me! |
 |
| We had some large plastic eggs that "talked". They would say "We're over heeeere" or "Come and get meeeee", etc. During the hunt, we heard JJ over in the corner of the yard yelling (quite madly), "Ok, where ARE you, I can't find you". We got a big kick out of him talking back to the egg! |
 |
| Reach high Zane! |
 |
| Grammy and Benny |
 |
| "See, I found my basket"!!!! |
 |
| And I'm REEEALLY happy about it! |
 |
| Zane finds his basket, now dive into the good stuff Zaner! |
 |
| Benny sees the need for glasses. |
 |
| Ahhh yes, Harry Potter! |
 |
| Nana's new iPad is a hit with the grandboys! |
 |
| Future business men! |
 |
| Work, work, work! |
 |
| Benny found a foot stool and before anyone knew it, he had dragged it clear across the room to be able to reach his basket goodies. Pretty clever! |
 |
| Oh yeah, the Easter Bunny makes awesome cupcakes. Benny especially likes the icing and licked it all off and left the cake part! |
 |
| I need EVERY drop, er lick.... |
 |
| Whoa, there's a chance this is gonna make me sick! |
 |
| Maybe I should rethink this gorging thing! |
 |
| Nah.....it was all worth it! |
 |
| Gail brought the most lucious, yummy lemon cake roll. Oh my, to die for! |
 |
HAPPY EASTER!!!
HE IS RISEN, HE IS RISEN INDEED! |
Amongst the eggs, candy and bunnies, we stop to remember the real reason we celebrate Easter.
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.
Such a festive and colorful Easter! Great pics of the boys, too. My favorite is Benny rethinking the gorging - love those eyes!
