Easter 2012

The Easter Bunny found the kiddos!

Bright and Early

The boys 

 A funny story....I told Casen to grab the eggs out of the fridge when we were going to dye them.  I had boiled 2 of the cartons with 18 eggs.  I also had two more cartons of  non-boiled eggs in the fridge.  I did not pay attention to the ones Casen grabbed.  Needless to say, We dyed one 18 pack boiled eggs and one 18 pack of non-boiled eggs.  I was not about to hide raw eggs....So that explains why only half of our eggs are dyed.  Crazy!!

Easter Egg Hunts 2012

So everyone knows that one of our favorite things is the Easter Egg Hunts.  My kids get so excited for them...okay I get a little excited as well.  Here are the pictures from this year.

We started the morning off by going to Smiths for their Easter hunt.  For those of you who have not done this it is so much fun.  Smiths fills their isles up with candy and then based on your age you are assigned a section.  The kids get so much candy.  They also have eggs put out that have coupons in then.  This is the fun part for me haha.  The eggs are full of coupons for free stuff in the store.  We got things like capri suns, popcorn, pudding packs etc. etc.

 How creepy does this Easter Bunny look!!!!

After Smiths we headed up to the Herriman Park for their Easter Egg Hunt.  This hunt goes so much faster and I was only with Cora (in her section)  so I only have a couple of pictures.

What a great morning....the kids got a ton of stuff and had a ton of fun doing it!!!!

Casen turns 9......Cora turns 3

Casen turned 9 years old on April 5th and Cora turned 3 on April 6th.  Because their birthdays are only one day apart it is normally celebrated with one big party.  So much fun!!!!

Casen had to have his Angry Bird cake

and Cora her Princess cupcakes

For their birthdays Cora wanted a Leappad and Casen wanted a Kindle Fire (Casen had some money to put towards his present haha).  Here are a couple of blurry pictures.  I do not know why they are blurry, sad

Christmas at our house......

We had such a great Christmas......

Christmas Eve:
We were very lucky this year and were able to host Christmas Eve Dinner for our whole family.  We had all four sets of parents and lots of our siblings over.  It is always so much fun to be surrounded by so much family!  Why oh why did I not take any pictures of this.  It gets so busy that I totally space getting the camera out.  Goal:::Take More Pictures!

Christmas Day:
On Christmas morning we had my Dad and Laura, and Vicki and Robert over to watch the kids open Christmas presents.  This year was really fun because the boys had not asked for what we got them.  It was a total surprise when they opened a XBox with the Kinnect. They were super excited.  The kids also got wiggle cars and a few other things. Spoiled like normal.

 My Dad and Laura were able to spend Christmas week with us....We had so much fun.  Here are just some random pictures from the week.

Great Times....Great Memories!

Merry Christmas!!!

Here are some of the pictures we had done.........We had these taken by ak studio & design.

Little America....Brunch

My family has a Christmas Tradition of going to Little America for Brunch.  Can I just say how super yummy this is.  I love that our family does this.  The kids were even able to visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus (they needed to make sure they were still on the nice list...there have been some doubts haha).  Here are some pictures.
