Happy, Happy Easter!

Easter time is always very fun in our neighborhood.  our annual pot luck has grown and changed over the years.  with most of our littles in soccer, we've started having an evening party rather than a breakfast.  the girls were thrilled to break out the baskets.  (when will they stop "posing" for the camera?)  this was Colin's first bone fide egg hunt, and he was unsure what to expect.  
 this is most of the motley crew that gathered for the big egg hunt.  (Colin is not pictured as he was too busy playing basketball and i am too pregnant to chase after him for a photo op.) 


once he got the hang of the hunt, he found it fun.  he had lots of help from sisters too!



 dinner was delicious!


 and we gathered enough candy to wire these kids for 3 days!
 Easter Sunday we had a fun dying Easter eggs before church.   



church was uplifting and a wonderful celebration of our Savior's life, atonement and resurrection.  and marked Anna's very first performance with the ward choir.  afterward, we hosted out Earl family for dinner, and snapped some pics of these Easter cuties.  






Happy Easter!

the annual Christmas tree burning!

our family loves to get our s'more on!  Jason built us an outdoor fireplace for just that reason. 
each year we gather the Christmas trees of our neighbors for the annual burning party!  as an afterthought i grabbed my camera to catch these shooting flames:


 are you kidding me, these sparks are amazingly fun!  the s'mores definitely take the back seat to the fireworks!
