EASTER 2010

We kept really busy during Easter and had a great time with family!
I have many pictures in this post, so I am going to (try to) keep words to a minimum so I don't lose you all half way through. :D
*** Happy Birthday Jill...aka grandma!!!!
April 3rd is Jill's birthday and we celebrated by going out to eat with some family members and a few friends!
You must have both hands on the straw to avoid spillages (we did have 2 of them that night...one from this little man and another from Kylie...ooops!)
Grandpa talking with his hands again ;) and Colton chasin' his food...What's new?
Grandma Jill opening her presents!

*** Kylie and Brayden dyed a couple dozen eggs, fun, fun fun!!!
It was a family affair, as you can see!
Good work munchkins!

*** Easter egg hunt is always a hoot!
Bryan shoots his gun and it is loud and scary...BUT it is a family tradition and we can't and won't change it.
Middle of the road instructions on where to search for our 8 eggs, our bags and the 2 jackpot eggs.
Easter Egg hunting (the kiddies had their own area to hunt for the eggs. Kylie put eggs in Colton's basket too, since he is too little to do it- what a sweety!
Chris with Colton (welcome to my blog Chris, this is your first time making the Hoben blog!! wootwoot!!!!!)
Colton with Grandpa
Dakota found the 2nd jackpot egg and Nicole was harassing him about it (even though Bryce found the 1st one!) Yes, we do get a little competitive! ;)

After the Egg Hunt we line up from tallest to shortest/another Reed-Hoben family tradition. (Nicole, love you, but you are NoT taller than Chris...but we all know why you didn't want to switch, you wanted to be next to your hubby!!!!Puppy love! awww... :D
The bearded one with a gun joined us for one of the line-ups
*** We rode Segways on Saturday also!
*I have alot to say about this experience so I am going to dedicate a whole post to it, soon!
In the mean time, can you find Brayden in this picture?
*** Easter Sunday we went to Bryan and Jill's church. Jill is part of the church choir (third from left, 2nd row). She is the only one in our family that has musical talent!
Bryan was in the Easter play(this is why he grew the beard.) He was one of the people that plotted with the priest to crucify Jesus, which made Kylie wonder if grandpa believed in Jesus! She was really paying attention and it fills my heart with joy that she was questioning!!!
After church, we went to Grandma Dodie's and Grandpa Bill's house! We got together with the uncles, aunts, and cousins and ate lots and lots and lots of yummy food.
Here's the whole crew...minus Bryce and Nicole who were with Nicole's family at this time.
Opening Easter baskets!
Me and my handsome husband!!!
Me with my sisters, Nicole and Kate
Me with my Brayden!
We had a really busy and FUN Easter weekend!
It is fun to spend holidays with family. I am so lucky to be part of this family!
