3 days of Easter

Easter Celebrations started for us on {Good} Friday night when we went over to Kevin's parents house to dye Easter Eggs & go on an egg hunt to see what Grandma Bunny brought them!

Kate LOVED dyeing the eggs & watching them change colors.

She also loved the egg hunt she went on around Papa & Grandma's house with her cousins. Kate & Claire really liked the new wagon that Grandma Bunny brought her & Claire.

Saturday morning we woke up & headed up the street to our neighborhood Eggtravaganza. The HOA puts on a fun event for all the kids, including an egg hunt with hundreds of eggs, a bounce house, Easter arts & crafts and of course lots of sweets & goodies! The event began when a police car drove up & dropped off the Easter Bunny to kick off the Egg Hunt. Kate DID NOT like that & jumped into our arms & was too scared to hunt for eggs. We were able to convince her after a few minutes that it was "safe" to look for eggs. Silly Girl!

Claire & Zayden hanging out while Kate hunts for eggs.

On Saturday night we headed over to my parents to celebrate Easter with my parents & sisters.
The girls got Easter presents from Auntie El, Auntie Bots brought them back purses from Taiwan Easter basket there, Kate loved the Oreo Cakesters the best.

Sunday we went to church & it was great to have The Sembrat's come with us!
While we were at church the Easter Bunny came by our house & brought the girls some presents. (They get the same thing every year..a new swimsuit, swim cover up, sandals, a pair of pj's and a book.) This year Kate even got a chocolate bunny!

Kevin started a new tradition this year by hiding some eggs downstairs for Kate to search for.
( I didn't think of that because I NEVER went on an egg hunt as a kid...thanks Mom & Dad)
It was a big hit & Kate loved collecting her eggs.
Then we headed out to Lodi to celebrate Easter with Kevn's side of the family.
We had yet another Egg Hunt and a fun time with Kevin's family.

Mike & Linda have an awesome bench in their backyard that I LOVE taking pictures on.
I got some cute ones of the girls & I even got a family picture.
(and I got a couple of Kevin's parents with all their grandkids, but I can't reveal that picture yet!)
