The Hunt....

Sorry I didn't upload these in order and I can't seem to make them move!! Stubborn little pictures :)
Audrey and Paige hid many eggs for the kids to find.
Here they are looking at their eggs!

Isn't she delightful! She found an egg and wanted to make sure we all saw her!
This sweet thing is delightful too :) Trying to keep her skirt from blowing away!!
Happy Easter 2010!
Can't believe I didn't get a picture of all 30 people sitting at the Kings table

Easter

What fun we had celebrating easter at Greystone. In this picture we had just arrived on the royal grounds for our Easter meal in the Mansion!!
The grown ups all dressed up
the three middle siblings!! we just need our book ends :)

Cute little prince and princesses!! check out my sons creative attire. He had nice blue slacks, a green and blue dress shirt and a green sweater vest to wear for this special day. BUT.... the day before easter we went to buy him his suit that he will wear in his cousins wedding and he really wanted to wear the tie on this day but not with his new clothes but with shorts and this white shirt!!! some things are just minor issues in life so here he is all dressed up in his own creative flair.

preparing for Easter

Getting Creative! They enjoyed both dying easter eggs and painting ceramic ones this year.
Posing with their favorite dyed egg
and why is it that this is a custom?.....
Here is one authors idea... we color easter eggs to remind us of new life. Just as a chick breaks out of an egg, so had Jesus broken free from the tomb of Death. Easter Eggs remind us that Jesus conquered death and gives us eternal life! PTL!!!

This picture speaks for itself!! So fun. His name is ALL over this mountain

Skiing in Breck

Here we are siked and ready to take off from the trail by the house! It's the first time the kids have skied from here. We usually start from the bunny hill but they have advanced!!
Both Kacey and Breck did so good this year. It's finally clicked and they had great fun getting to ski with the big people.

One morning Jeff and I went by ourselves. There were NO LINES at the lifts and we skied many runs before lunch time.
absolutely beautiful spring skiing!
Breck at the end of the first day - he was worn out!!
So fun to get to ski with Kai and Wendy for a day
Nothing like being in the midst of Gods creation in Colorado during any season of the year!

Sledding in Breck

The kids and I had great fun sledding in a blizzard :)
Breck and I got the giggles sledding because I would sled down the hill and he would wait halfway down and jump on as I came by but I was never quite sure when that would be because I had to close my eyes!! We needed our goggles sledding but we'd left them at the house.
