Easter Weekend, Part 1

I didn't blog last night because I was spending all evening filling no less than 3 thousand of these:

 
That was the preparation for today's day-early Easter celebrations (no thanks to impending weather doom that's being predicted tomorrow). 

It also happened to be the absolute most beautiful day yet this year today, reaching probably 60 degrees with little to no wind. My kids were in shorts, people. Shorts. So we spent a good part of the pre-Easter afternoon playing outside. 

We ("We" being our neighbors the Durans and us) did a massive Easter egg hunt that completely surrounded our five-family townhome. Completely. More eggs than five baskets could hold. We hid them in the playground, in the big tree, the tire swing, what few grass tufts have finally started to pop up, and tons and tons and tons just tossed out in the grass. 

Ready to hunt. The Duran girls (Hailey, Chloe and Sydney) and my Hansen boys

It was cute and the kids had a blast. Camden and Chloe (the youngest two) picked up like five eggs each and then were completely over it and did their own thing. Especially Camden, who once found out that there was chocolate inside these eggs, was more happy sitting on the grass shoving entire peanut butter cups into his mouth than going to search for stupid plastic eggs. 

The only time he actually collected eggs.

And done. He'd rather eat.

Calen even got to a point where he said "My basket is full. I'm done. Leave the rest the eggs for the babies."

 

Pulling himself off the ground to reach an egg.

With their stash (and Cam's chocolate face)

His face.

And then we had part 1 of a two day barbecue-fest. Ribs, pulled pork, sausage, brisket. Oh and potato salad and beans. 

Yeah. No vegetarians around here. 

More Easter awesomeness tomorrow.
