Happy Easter!!

We had another fantastic holiday! The good ol bunny came and brought some treats.

 

For some reason Luke could NOT sleep that night. I think he came into our room every hour or two. We finally let him wake everyone up at about 6:30. Drew could have slept for a few more hours but not when his big brother came in and shared the news that there was candy downstairs!

 

Picture posing before the fun :) and no....I don't have Charlie wear a bow to bed but hair accessories are totally necessary now....girl has wild crazy hair that hangs in her eyes. (but yes, I do love the bows still :))

Little duder was so happy that he got his one millionth football guy. He is simple. And I love it.

 

I mean he was just so happy. I want to bottle it up and never forget it.

 

And this one got a Lego set. Which he was just as thrilled about.... :))

 

Little Charlotte was just happy with her favorite blankie

ready to start hunting for eggs...

 

their faces make me happy

so does this one

she proceeded to dump their buckets over and over again

such the great big brother....he opened charlottes princess toys and showed her every single one.

 

then it was off to church. We got there very early so I thought it would be perfect to take pics of kids.

Um fail.

 

yep, just not happening...

 

 

 

it is always one of them! Ha! :))

Luke and Drew

Love that you can see Luke in my glasses, snapping the pic

sleepy girl....

 

after church we snapped a couple more pictures.

Ben's first (and last!!!) Easter as an only. He is going to have so much fun with a little brother next year.

 

Nikki and her Ben

 

And my little family

 

uncle Matt and Debra came down for the fun, we had a great time with them

 

after church we headed up to the DePortos for more fun and chaos.

But this is where poor Drew got the devastating news that his true love Natalie (yes, yes she is slightly older than him,... But those are just details people!!) was engaged to Eric. Now, in Eric's defense, he is a fantastic guy and we are so so so happy for them. Wellllll.....except this kid....

 

I hate to tell you dude, she is probably not going to be the only girl who breaks your heart :)

we had a great Easter and the fun didn't end there....we headed out to San Diego for a night away and a trip to the zoo.....more pics from that coming soon!!!
