Back East: Easter at Grandma's house



We dyed eggs at Grandma's house the day before Easter while Dave and Spencer played golf with Patrick and Tony. It was Spencer's first time playing, and it's a really nice course. He was fine with missing the Easter eggs, but we managed to save a couple for him to do later.

 Nice swirly pattern there, Levi!

 I LOVE this little bunny!

Chloe did a great job spending time on each egg. Last year she sped through them and kept wanting more.

 She drew on them and everything!


 Classic Dallin egg face.

This is Ashley - she's Thomas's girlfriend's daughter. Her sister Kaitlin didn't want to dye eggs. They live with Dave's mom.

 Love those messy fingers!

We couldn't dye TOO many, since we were leaving 2 days later and didn't want to leave them a bunch to eat.

The Easter Bunny managed to find us in West Virginia! But it was all a little different than usual (they were just left on the table instead of hidden with clues throughout the house), so Levi was convinced that the Easter Bunny came to our house in California too. As soon as we got home, he ran around the house looking for the baskets. 

After a quick breakfast of eggs and candy, we got all ready for church. Chloe was not in the mood for pictures, so Dave distracted her by pointing out a toy in the window. The boys are wearing ties from their grandpa. Grandma let them all choose a couple to keep, which was pretty special.

 I really like this picture Levi took of grandma. 

Then ALL the family came for an Easter egg hunt. Crystal organized the whole thing and even had money in some of the eggs! Levi got the jackpot egg: $10! He had to climb a tree to reach it!

 Christine and Juliet, so cute!!

 They hid the eggs in two different sections, which worked out well.

 Brian and Kai

Kai was so excited to have so many boy cousins to play with! He did NOT want us to leave! 

 Juliet's cuteness just about killed me! Those glasses!!





Here are Kevin and Crystal's two kids, Trinity and Kevin. 


 Andrew just finished his first year at Alderson-Broaddus College. He was there on a band scholarship, but he doesn't want to go back.

Cousins! 

Cute family picture of Mary, Brian and Kai. They just bought their first home and moved in the day before this, so they were pretty tired! We stayed with them the night before we flew home, since they're closer to the airport.

Kat and her fiancee, Jeremiah. He's super nice! We approve!


First sibling picture since Kevin died.

The whole family! Minus dad and Kevin.

Angie and her kids came over to say goodbye the next morning.  

 Good-bye cousins! We miss you!
