Easter 2011

We spent this Easter in Cloquet with my parents and sister's family.  It was fun to be back "home" for the holiday and to watch all 4 cousins and all their excitement with the festivities.  The kids colored Easter eggs together on Saturday and had a great time!

It is so fun to share in holiday traditions with cousins so close in age.  

We went for a nice Easter brunch at Blackwoods in Proctor.  The food was excellent and we were there at a great time that was not too busy. 

When we returned to the Skowlund's house, the kids searched for their Easter baskets.  They thought this was pretty fun this year.  They got all kinds of goodies and had so much fun.  

After the kids found their baskets inside, they headed outside to see if the Easter bunny had left any eggs.  It turns out he left a ton of eggs and all four kids had an absolute blast finding the eggs.  We were blessed with an awesome day for an Easter egg hunt.

 

 

The kids didn't really care what was inside the eggs, they had more fun finding them!

Ever try to get a picture with 5 kids 4 and under?  It is so hard.  I should have tried to get the picture before we had all the Easter festivities.  I still like the picture of Grandpa and Grandma and their sweet grandbabies.  

I thought this picture was pretty neat.  Annabelle and AJ wanted to hold their baby cousin so bad.  She loved all the attention and stared at Annabelle most of the time.  It was pretty sweet to see how gentle and loving they were with Kenzie. 

My 3 sweet babies on Easter.  Love them so much.  I just hope they cooperate with pictures better someday.  

One of my favorite pictures of sweet baby Kenzie.  I can't believe how big she is getting!  Love her to pieces. 

We had such a great Easter weekend!  It was busy with all the events, but great to catch up with so many  loved ones.  The drive home was a gift as well!  Kenzie slept most of the way (unheard of up to this point), and the older two slept on and off and were quiet.  I even was able to sit in the front seat the whole way!  I am very thankful for a drive "home" that is 2 hours shorter!
