Early Easter Celebration

We celebrated Easter a week early with the Knowles family so Grandma Jean would feel her best between treatments.  And as luck would have it, that meant the first real warm and sunny day of the year!  The kids spent the whole day outside - hunting for eggs, decorating cookies, riding bikes, playing sports and just generally enjoying the big back yard.  Grandma Jean came up with a great plan for the egg hunt, each kid looked for a certain color egg.  They had such a good time working together to find all of the colors!

Laurel and her green Easter basket.  She had the trickiest color to find as the green eggs blended perfectly with the grass and trees.

Clara and her purple basket.

The only time I can seem to take decent pictures is when the weather is exactly as it was on Sunday, so I took quite a few.  Here are some of my favorites.

It is not often that we get a nice family picture.
