Easter Saturday

This year we celebrated Easter with our families on the Saturday before Easter. It turned out that Saturday worked best for both sides of the family. It was a busy day but we enjoyed it very much. We started by going to the park at Norris with Erik's family in the morning. It was SO windy that we had to hurry though lunch and leave to go finish out the celebration at his mom's house. I didn't take any pics at the park because we were not there long. When I say it was windy, I mean it was windy!! The lids to the metal trash cans were flying off and everything. We could not eat lunch very comfortably as we were afraid it would fly away - and some people's lunch did. There was a lot of chasing plates/eggs/napkins/everything going on. It was really unbelievable how windy it was. Anyway, I took lots of pics this day so hang on and bear with me for these....and enjoy :)

Elaina with her daddy - notice she still holding that cake. I'm not sure she even ate it, just carried it aroundMe and Elaina on the swingFor whatever reason this pic cracks me up... she looks so sad Coloring cookies - yes, I said cookies. I found these cookies that you color with edible ink. They tasted terrible but the kids loved coloring them
