Happy Easter!!!

Henry hunting Easter eggs.
This year's egg hunters-Emma, Henry,Jason(hiding behind the kids), Jacoby(kind of our "adopted" nephew), and Elysabeth our niece.

Emma in her Easter dress. This is as close to getting a full size pic of her. She wouldn't stay still!

Henry in his Easter outfit. He also wouldn't stay still!
Emma hunting Easter eggs. She ended up with quite a stash!
Henry hunting eggs and getting help from Aunt Amy(aka Yaya-that's what the kids call her).

Look closely and you can see that she's putting the egg in her Elmo basket.


We had a great day! Crazy, but great! The family(well the Martin side) and a couple of friends came over for lunch and the egg hunt. We miss the Henriksen side of the family very much:( We have a fairly large house, but get pretty much all of the Martin(Jenny's family) side and a few friends(Ashlea-one of my best friends and her son, Jacoby) here and the house fills up quickly! The kids were running around, followed by the puppies(2 Dachsunds-Aunt Amy and BethBeth's), followed by the adults that they belong too. The food was great as always-big thanks to Nana, Yaya(Aunt Amy), Suza(Aunt Susan), Zup(Uncle Philip), Uncle Kevin, Gary, and Mama. After a late lunch, the eggs were filled with goodies, the kids told to stay away from the front windows so the eggs could be hidden, eggs were hidden in the front yard, and then the race was on! Henry and Emma got a five minute start and then Jacoby and Elysabeth got their chance to hunt too. The kids had a blast! I couldn't take pictures fast enough. All the kids ended up with lots of candy, some money for their piggy banks, and some small toys. I think everyone had a nice time. The kids were exhausted-no nap today so that made things interesting, but we made it. We love having family and friends over, but wow Mama and Daddy are tiiiiirrred! To our family and friends that couldn't be here-we love you bunches and miss you more! Happy Easter!
