It worked out well that my parents came home right before Easter weekend. We were all able to get together (minus my brother who is at Graduate school at Texas A & M) for a welcome home dinner for my parents and an Easter celebration. I had asked my parents what they wanted for their welcome home dinner. They requested giant salads (Homemade Cafe rio salads) and berries. My Dad's request was chocolate cake and ice cream. We ate and visited, and ate some more and visited some more. When the kids got restless we sent the husbands outside to hide the Easter eggs. The kids ran out youngest to oldest hunting for their eggs.
McKay was SO excited to be out of the house and to be outside. He literally was just giggling as soon as we put him outside. He could care less about the eggs, he just wanted to walk around on the grass. I did manage to get him to help me pick up a couple of eggs.
I am in LOVE with this picture of Kyle and McKay. It is really rare to get McKay to really give you a big smile. So when I actually catch it on camera it is a miracle! He is sporting his new Bubble Guppies t shirt. I know if he could tell me in words, he would express how much he loved his shirt!
The kids found all of their eggs and went through their candy and loot. Carson ended up with quite a few of the money eggs this year.
After the hunt was over the kids played outside for a while. Enjoying the trampoline, slide and zip line. My sister has a great backyard for kids! McKay loved the trampoline, it makes me really anxious to get ours out of storage so he can enjoy it.
We had a great night catching up with my parents and hearing some of their mission stories. The kids had a great time playing and hunting for Easter eggs.
It is great to have my parents back and have our family a little more complete. We look forward to lots more fun family events!
