Fast forward a year and Easter was a little busier this time! We had 8 adults, 5 kids and 4 dogs all under one roof (more on that later :). Good thing our house is (almost!) big enough to house everyone pretty comfortably! It was a packed and exciting weekend. It's always fun with fam in town!
Easter weekend started with happy hour at one of the many great breweries in Bend with Grama and Papa as we waited for the Danners to arrive. Talia once again loved making friends at the restaurant. I'm noticing that she loves the attention and tries to make eye contact and do her shy smile at anyone who is around her. She is little miss social for sure!
Yes, Tristan is back to wearing beanie hats when we go out. He is in desperate need of a haircut.
And then on Saturday, we went to a large Easter carnival put on by a local church. Coincidentally, my mom found out that the pastor of this church was someone she grew up with. They hadn't seen each other in close to 30 years so it was fun to see them reconnect!
All the kids ready to go!
Easter outfit #1 :) Cannot believe how big she is getting!
Sharing his cone with Grama :)
All the kids making a run for the candy. Tristan didn't want to go in his age group since none of his cousins would be with him. Love how Lincoln helped him out as all the big kids were fighting for candy around him.
Since we were blessed with such beautiful weather Easter weekend, we were able to play outside most of the day. The boys set up corn hole outside as the rest of us soaked up some much-needed Vitamin D.
Love this pic of Talia & Stella watching all the action
Trying to get a sibling pic is hard work. I had to settle for this one.
And trying to get all three boys in one place, looking at me...also a challenge. I did my best with this one.
Yes, we look a little WT here, but we are still in the middle of fertilizing our backyard to get it ready for the summer. And, honestly, most of our neighbors also hang out in their front yards whenever the temperature climbs above 60 degrees so that they can watch their kids cruise up and down the street. What a difference from our last neighborhood when no one came outside and we had only seen some of our neighbors a few times in six+ years!!
Decorating Easter eggs!
And then on Easter, we woke up to find our Easter baskets from the Easter bunny and then had an outdoor egg hunt after church. Since the fam was all leaving in the early afternoon, we had to cram in as much as possible before they left. No surprises there :)
I SO love Talia's Easter dress!! When you think Easter, you think flapper girl, right?
Trying to spy on the location of all the Easter eggs :)
All the boys ready to go!
An attempt at a pic of Grama with her little ones. Not sure giving Tristan a blue sucker while trying to take Easter pics was such a great idea. All the pics I have of him either have blue teeth or chocolate stuck in them. Next year, pics will come before candy!
Yes, I have a lot of pics of mostly Talia, but my mom and I were trying to capture the perfect picture of her in all her Easter flapper glory. A little hard to do with a moving little one, but we got some pretty good ones!
And then after all our guests left, we went out for an Easter dinner at St. Francis. Such a great ending to our fun weekend!
