Easter 2008

The weather outside was gorgeous. The morning started off with Hailey and Joey waking up to find Easter baskets for both of them left by the Easter Bunny himself. The Easter Bunny also hid some plastic eggs with money in them all around the house which the kids loved to find and then put the money in their piggie banks.

He would only sit there for 2 seconds but my "little man" did sit long enough for me to take this shot.

Later on that afternoon Hailey was able to spend some time outside with Aidan while waiting for her cousins to arrive. We were 22 people total and thanks to Grandma, Aunt Audrey and Aunt Tracy the food was yummy. Following dinner 32 eggs, 10 of which we had decorated the night before, were hidden all over the house in anticipation of our annual Easter Egg Hunt. Hailey was so excited anytime she would find one. After finding two she was ecstatic:

Joey liked watching all the kids run around.

The night slowly came to an end as we captured one more photo of all the kids after the hunt was over:
