Easter Weekend

We had a great Easter holiday weekend!! We dyed Easter eggs, went to a birthday party, a family reunion, and had more egg hunts than I can count.

The kids had a lot of fun dying their eggs. It was a great project for them. This was Kate's first year to help. She took to it like she knew exactly what to do. She liked checking on the eggs while they were in the dye.

This was before we started....Luke was mad that he had to wait for me to get a picture.
My Grandma turned 92 on April 2nd. The kids were out of school so we got to go to her party. Doesn't she look great for 92?!?!
On Saturday was the Stansell Easter Family Reunion. Every year we get together at the Fluvanna Community Center for lunch, visiting, and a big Easter egg hunt for the kids. There was really a big crowd there this year.
Our cousin Mark had a new little tractor and trailer to take the kids for a ride in. I think Kate would have rode all day....she rode until the rides were over.
Luke and Kate had a time on the teeter totter.
Rachel and Luke are professional egg hunters. They were all business.
Kate really enjoyed hunting eggs too. She loved finding all the candy. She even decided the eggs were a waste because she would take the candy out of the eggs and throw the eggs back down on the ground. I think the eggs were taking up too much room in her basket.

My parents came to the reunion too. This was the best picture we could get of the group. Kate did not want her picture taken though.

I threw this one in because the pictures I post are always full of smiles, but there is a lot of fighting happening around here too. They were fighting over who gets to sit on the rock.
Then Luke decided to help Kate find eggs. He can be nice when he wants to.
