Easter Weekend

We had an eventful and busy Easter Weekend, the weather was so beautiful all weekend and warm. I was a little worried because Friday morning lots of rain and thunderstorms, but by Friday afternoon they were gone and the sun was out for the rest of the weekend.
Saturday morning we started off our day with Katie's first soccer game. Sad to say but I have no pics or video to post today of her. Saturday was one of those days that test how far a parent can be pushed to their limit by a 3 year old. Bree was beyond mad that she could not play soccer with Katie. Bree is at that stage that she "thinks" she has to do everything her big sister is doing. Plus it didn't help matters that Chris is coaching Katie's team so that made her want to be out there even more. I tried to get some picture and video but in the video you would have just heard Bree screaming for Chris as we sat in the stands and watch. Man...that was the longest hour of my life. Katie wanted me to watch her so badly but I just wanted to get Bree the heck out of there to get her mind on something else. Katie did great for her first soccer game. She is the shortest player on the team so she doesn't run quite as fast as everyone else but I have to say the girl gave it her all and she was even caught in the middle of some kids trying to kick the ball and she was standing her ground. I was quite impressed my girls first game. Fingerscrossed this coming Saturday we can get some video.

After the soccer game we had one of Chris' friends from work over and his three girls. There was a community egg hunt that afternoon so they all came over to go. I use the term "egg hunt" very loosely has the eggs were just thrown into a field and let all the kids go after them, but they do this by age group which is nice and they have tons of eggs. The limit was 40 per kid, yes 40. We have so much candy now it is crazy. I did manage to get a few pics of the girls gathering their eggs.

Bree getting excited about the egg hunt. Basket in hand and ready to go.

Katie waiting patiently for them to say they can go get their eggs.


The field of eggs...this was just part of the field. You can see all of the eggs scattered about.


It took them probably 3 mintues if that for them to fill their basket. It is so much fun to watch them just run into this field and start throwing eggs into their baskets.

Bree showing me their baskets....FULL of eggs. I believe they each got their 40.

Sunday we went to church to celebrate Easter. The weather was great high of 84. The girls looked so beautiful in their Easter dresses. After church we went to a friends house for Easter lunch and let the kids get in one more easter egg hunt before the weekend was over.
