Hoppy Easter!!!

Chocolate bunnies, egg hunting, piniatas full of yummies, eggs & ham...does life get better than Easter? It's the ringing in of spring...nice weather, fun and games with family and friends...YA!
We had an Easter party at our house Saturday. It was a lot of fun! Thanks to everyone who came and for all of your contributions to dinner and good times!

So to prep for the party, we dyed and painted easter eggs...artist child Leesie was up WAY late painting eggs...but who can stop an artist? Not me.

And then made piniatas...Nick REALLY enjoyed the crafty project! I have such a creative bf! He "says" he didn't enjoy it. Whatever! He loved every second of it...ok he threatened to make me change the oil in his truck just to make us "even". LOL He did a really good job, and I am very thankful for his help on the project! What a good sport!
Our chicks and eggs all finished...

Then Saturday came...the big Easter Egg Hunt in the back yard...

Now the question is...did they find all the eggs? I guess we will find out with the mower right? LOLPiniata time! Who can bust it open? Do you think Maddie and Treyton got theirs open? Ha, ok they had a little help but they did get the candy from inside. =)
This is my little sis Jessie...we were really mean and duct taped this piniata all the way around to make it harder to crack...ummm it took them several tries, but eventully they did get it....BUT.....we didn't think of the unthinkable...all the candy inside was crushed into powder by the time it came out. So, note for next time: use only soft candies like gummies in the duct taped piniata.

The adults watching kids hit piniatas...Nick's parents joined in the festivities and my mom & brother Brandon (and Jessie) drove clear over for the party. A bunch of Nick's friends also came. We had fun! When piniatas were done, we had a bubble contest to see who could blow the biggest bubble. Then later in the evening my mom and I got on the piano and guitar and played some tunes for those who were still around. What a fun Easter!!!

The boss-man took a little break after the activities were all over! Ahhhhh! Kick back and soak up the sun baby!
