Easter 2013

There are so many things that I need to catch up on here, but I probably need to do the obligatory Easter picture post first.  We are pretty traditional in the fact that we dye eggs the night before Easter.  I should clarify that the kids and I dye eggs the night before.  Mark watches "The Ten Commandments" while laid out on the couch and will jump in to help if he is needed (like last year when I bought a more complicated dye kit!).   I keep thinking the kids will not want to do this, but they ask every year.  And, besides, it gives me a good excuse to use my wedding china tea cups!
Cooper being totally silly... I made them move close together for a picture and they hate it!
Easter bunny treats...a new Wii game for Coop and a pedicure gift certificate for Kamdyn.  The Easter bunny was skimpy with the candy this year...
As I mentioned, my kids love traditions and they don't forget them - even if I do!  Several years ago, Brian and Jamie began scattering the yard with eggs on Easter morning for the kids, which they love, but when they aren't home to do it, I sometimes forget!  Thank goodness Kam mentioned it the night before...
Cooper sang with the kids choir on Sunday morning which made me deliriously happy!  Kam loves to sing with the choir but Cooper, not so much.  He sang his one song and then went to sit down as soon as it was over!  

Side note...he hated his outfit!  Grumbled the whole way to church and even in the door.  His teacher sent me an email a few days later with the title "Cooper's Journal."  

The message said:  "Apparently you made him wear something horrible for Easter.  He wrote that he hated it and put it all in capital letters!  LOL"  Priceless!  Personally, I think he looks like a little model, but he didn't care!
It never fails that every year Kamdyn gets behind the taller boys so that I can barely see her...
Kam has been telling me that she had a special song they were going to sing, but she wanted it to be a surprise.  Had I known how awesome it was, I would have for sure videoed it!  The lyrics were something about helping Grandpa, Grandma's hugs, Daddy's kisses, and Momma's special (or something to that effect), but "I gave my heart to Jesus."  Brought tears to my eyes!!
Love this pic of these two!  Of course, I think they are beautiful, but I'm naturally biased!
This ended in a fight and fit before it was all over with!
Getting a natural or serious pose from Kam is almost impossible!  Notice Coop's red face...he's still recovering from his melt down from his pics with Kamdyn.
A semi-normal family pic...
We were missing 5-6 greats....
Sill faces!
Bringing it in to see who found the most eggs...
Chasing bubbles....
We had a great day with family celebrating Jesus' resurrection!  I wouldn't trade our Easter traditions and family for a thing!!
