Happy Easter!

Easter morning started like most other mornings, but we needed to plan for a light breakfast as Tony's family planned a brunch around 11am.  Tony wanted to video-tape them discovering their Easter baskets since this really was the first year that we had baskets for them.  Tony spent some time the night before and morning of getting everything together.

I took the video with the other camera and after several minutes when the camera turned itself off, I realized that I had never even started.  DUH!  Luckily the kids have a very short attention span so we quickly got everything back in the baskets for round two.  We walked them around the kitchen and back into the living room and it was like they hadn't seen anything.  They were just about as excited the second time around.

Around 10am, we started to get them ready in their outfits supplied by Tony's mom.  From what I understand, she bought these outfits quite a while ago, so we're lucky they fit.  Once everyone was dressed, I thought I'd try to get a few pictures of the three of them on the steps.  I thought wrong.  They're in that stage where they understand what you want them to do, and purposely do the opposite - at least Olivia does.  She does all of her naughty work with a sly grin on her face too.
So here's what I ended up getting...

Where are you going Tony?

Two out of three aint bad!

Tony - on the move again!

Amelia hiding her face in her favorite bear.

Yeah!  we got a good one!

Ok - bear is out of the way, but now the thumb is there again.

 We got over to Tony's parents house, ate brunch and then prepared to go outside for the egg hunt.  Each kid was equipped with a bucket to collect eggs.  It was so fun to watch them.  We had to walk them around and show them what to do, but they each picked up the eggs and put them in the bucket.  Olivia ended up with the most - Six eggs!  Amelia got four and little Tony got three.  He would have had more, but some of the older kids got to the eggs a bit faster even though we saw them first.  Oh well... we didn't need the extra candy in the house. 
Here's a few pictures of the hunt!

Afterwards, we went back inside and played around.  I was a photographing fool that day - I was snapping pictures of the girls smelling flowers, playing with toys and just about anything!

All in all, it was a nice day.
