An Easter-filled Weekend

Gabrielle, on Easter Sunday morning in her pretty Easter dress.
We were lucky enough to get to spend two days this past weekend with Kenton's family. On Saturday we headed to Greenfield for a get-together with Kenton's mom's family as well as Roger's family. It was a really nice time in their newly "remodeled" (or more like "finally finished") home. They had a huge easter egg hunt for the kids, but we made Gabby stay inside since it was SO cold out and she had been battling a cold all day long. I managed to get a photo of all of the grandkids, Gabby's cousins, that day. Here goes (from oldest to youngest)...

Josh, the eldest...a junior at Ben Davis HS and apparently a hunk-a-hunk-a burning love

Gage, Mr. Buzz Cut

Madison, sporting some new braces
Abbi (Gabrielle), cutie patootie with THICK hair!

Emma, four AND A HALF, showing us her prettiest of faces
...and little Gabby with her bunny ears from Aunt Juli.


Kenton's grandma, taking in all of the Easter excitement

Gabby sitting on Emma's lap even though Emma told me she needed to get off because she was "too heavy."


On Sunday, we headed over to Steve and Suzie's where we enjoyed time with them as well as Johnna, Micki, and Brian. They hid Easter baskets for all of us, but Dixie (their pug) gave the hiding spot of my basket away as she attempted to get a few nibbles of my candy. Thanks, Dixie, for showing me the way! Gabrielle got TWO Easter baskets filled with stuffed animals, bath crayons, a bathing suit, a new outfit, and other various goodies. My basket had candy, some microfiber washcloths (VERY soft), a Yankee candle, and a lottery ticket. All of the "big" kids got lottery tickets and all of them were duds except for Kenton's. He somehow managed to win $50 on his one little measly ticket. Darn him! He always wins things! But hey, I get to share in the money, so what am I complaining about, right? All in all, it was a great Easter weekend spent with lots of family!

I love all of the family pictures! I had to laugh when I read the comment from Emma about Gabby being too heavy. She would die if one of my kids sat on her lap. I think my kids were Gabby's weight before they hit 1!

How cool that you and Kenton also got Easter baskets. I didn't think about it until now, but I think I used to get one until Reese was born. I may have to take that up with the Easter bunny...

Way to go, Kenton, on winning the $50!

Wow, way to go, Kenton!

Those are great pictures of the family. I love Gabby's Easter dress! It is so cute! Of course, Gabby probably makes the dress look even better with her cuteness. Glad you had a great Easter!
