Happy Easter!

3 Easter celebrations fit into one Sunday makes for a very fun day!  After the kids opened their Easter baskets, we headed over to Grandma & Papa Poort's house for brunch and our annual Easter egg hunt. 

Owen and daddy worked hard to squeeze some fresh orange juice...

and this is all the juice they produced out of a Costco bag of oranges...!!??

The hunt gets more and more intense every year, so the kids listened intently as Papa explained the 2012 rules...

 Lucy found a lot of "bunny bucks", but coveted most the "puffballs", which she got to turn in for coins...

 The banker worked with the girls to figure out the complex bunny buck & puffball exchange...

 And then the kids took on Uncle Ben in a game of tug of war...

 Uncle John had to come to their rescue...

 What a fun group of uncles and a never ending supply of activities!  Now on to parachute...

In the afternoon, we headed to Beepa & Bubba's house for some over-the-top Easter basket goodies and a good old fashioned egg hunt (a carton of dyed hard boiled eggs) with Cousin Wade....

Owen was determined to find those eggs...

The last egg, hidden in the bird bath...will anyone find it?

Victory!!...

Now, the fun part - smashing the egg into little pieces onto the grass.  Owen cracked open every egg, but didn't eat any of them...

 Yay for Easter!...
