Easter was so cold and snowy. We didn't take the kids to the town Easter Egg hunt because it was raining (and Andy had to work that morning). We snuck outside for a few cold dry minutes to roll eggs.
We decided to do an inside hunt in the basement for them. They thought it was really fun and weren't disappointed at all. Peyton loved the idea of finding the eggs. He was so excited.
He also loved coloring the eggs. He liked to hold them and smoosh the shells. He must have liked the noise and feeling of the cracking. So we had to limit his helping a little so that he would have some eggs to roll later.
The kids were so excited to see that the Easter bunny had come. It was almost like Chirstmas. And all they really got was a little candy and a couple of cheap toys from the dollar store. But I am so glad that they loved it.
I sure hope that next year is warm enough to be outside and doing our normal traditions, but I am so thankful to have kids that were just happy to be doing something and totally satisfied with what they got.
I have been slacking on my computer time. I started reading the twilight series. I had been putting it off for a time when I went to a conference with Andy or something so that I would have lots of time to read at once. I had heard how addicting they are. But I ended up watching the movie and that made me want to read the book. So I have finished the first two and now I am waiting a few days to start the third one so that I can get some things done around the house. But I am already getting obsessed! Oh well.
The "real" Abby smile. The Chesnut eyes closed thing. Just can't get away from it.
She also got the Chesnut bunny teeth with the gap. But I love that it came from my dad. I know theres at least a little of him in there.
Ok, I was too lazy to scan in this picture and it didn't turn out very well. This is one of my favorites from Abby's baby days.
Peyton loved the candy from the pinata too.
I was having fun with my camera. I turned up the shutter speed so that I could get some fun action shots of the pinata breaking. Of course we had to help out some before it broke, but they all thought it was awsome!
They were all pretty excited to have her open her presents. Thats all they wanted to do. I was going to save it for last, but I couldn't. Then they all played with the new toys. She shared really well. I was happy about that.
These are the little purse goodie bags we gave out. I thought they turned out really cute.
I am actually really embarassed to put a picture of the sad cake on here. But I know the grandmas would want to see. I am just glad that she was excited about it.

The wedding cake.
The whole bridal party
With this ring......
Zac and the boys
They did streamers and stars on the ceiling at their reception. It totally brought back some fun high school dance memories.
Getting ready to walk down the isle
Here are some fun shots of Brandi getting ready. I think they look so good in black and white. Love it!
