Fern and Feather: lovely lovely weekend

Monday, April 5, 2010

The weekend started with a big ol' egg hunt in our backyard. I will never forget all the little kiddos running out the backdoor looking for eggs. There have been so many special memories in our backyard {our wedding, many parties, Henry's blessing...} that it makes it hard for me to ever imagine leaving our little spot.

Chloe pulling Henry. Chloe's mommy and I have been dear friends for over 20 years. Seeing our children love each other is such a blessing.

Party favors. I had so much fun in the dollar isle at Target. I found slinkies, bunny books, lip gloss and trucks... what more could you ask for?

Our good friends rented a costume {Elizabeth & Justin you guys are amazing!} 50% of the children loved the Easter bunny but the other 50% will have nightmares until next Easter {Henry is in the nightmare set}.

Little sidewalk chalking {or crayoning} while we waited for all the egg hunters.

So cute. no?

Our sweet God~daughter on the left & the cutest little legs in the world on the right.

Our weekend ended with a little hunt. Just Ross, Henry, Syd the Dog and I. It was so special. I will never forget Henry's Easter attire; PJ's, rain boots and helmet. I love being a mommy.

Adorable Alexis... I think my favorites are the Easter bunny {Taylor would have the nightmares, Ryan could care less right now}, the chunky legs {looks like mine, lol} & Henry's hunting outfit {looks like my little ones daily attire}... Ahhhh Good Times!!!

Love Henry's final outfit. He's got some serious style. And I love easter but I think the easter bunny is pretty creepy.

And I loved the photo of those chubby little feet. So cute.

I agree the Easter Bunny is super sketchy. I always get screwed up by the fact that he hides eggs. Doesn't it imply that he is laying eggs? weird.
