Easter in Texas

We celebrated Easter in Texas the week after Easter since we were in NC on Easter weekend.  Luckily, I don't think any of our "egg hunters" besides Koen, noticed we were late!  

We enjoyed Ken and Mandy's big backyard, snacks and lots of playing, riding and running.

I might have a slight bias, but I think this grin is beyond words cute!

 

 The new twins were able to celebrate from the comfort of their Rock N Play Sleepers! I made sure to get in some special cuddles from these little guys!

 Hard to believe the twins (set #1) are this big already!  Abe enjoyed his Doritos, thoroughly!

 You can barely see her, but Reagan is pushing Ben, even though he is almost as big as she is!

 There were many, many trips around the backyard (with various drivers) in these cool trucks the twins got for their birthday.  Lots of passengers were hauled from one end of the yard to the other.  With only a few minor bumps, bruises and fallen passengers :)

 This sweet girl just sits back and takes it all in!  Bless her, she is so outnumbered and has lots of boy cousins to keep in line!

 Our future race car driver was serious at his turn behind the wheel!

 A very, very full load!

 Little Miss is always dressed to perfection! I think we all live vicariously through her accessories!  With boys the accessories are limited to hats and dirt!

 There were a few water gun wars.  I think Pappy probably won this one!

 Kennedy caught a ride in John Thomas' lap, with concerned Abraham at the wheel.

 Pulling the grass out of the bucket was much more entertaining to our little than actually putting eggs in.

 Some of the eggs were dyed and stuffed with confetti and little man decided that was the one to eat.  For the remainder of the day he had hot pink lips!  I could not stop laughing.

Confetti eggs in the curls!

 Koen decided at some point that it would be fun to spray me with silly string, then outrun me.  I will say he gave me a pretty tough time trying to catch him, but I did manage to get him eventually.

 

 We were all tired from a long day, but my cup is certainly full with these men God blessed me with!
