Easter 2013

We had fun at an Easter bunny celebration at the Clackamas mall. The kids did crafts and made masks. 

 Alora joined in on a hulu hoop contest.

 Elijah helps make lemonade at a Hot Dog on a Stick stand.

 Alora has finally overcome her terror of characters.

 We made Easter Bunny and Chic Easter garland. The kids still love their craft time with mom.This was one of Elijah's favorite crafts. He was working on making more bunnies long after Alora was done.

We had fun decorating Easter Eggs with Alora's new friend; our neighbor Sophia.

 The kid's favorite part of Easter Egg decorating was coloring the napkins I gave them to clean up! They made almost as many of these as they made eggs.

 The Friday before Easter the O'Connell's joined us for dinner and a glow in the dark Easter Egg hunt.

 It wouldn't feel like Easter without a community Easter Egg hunt. Happy Valley had an Easter egg hunt at the golf course. We had fun roasting marshmallows, watching the kids play on bounce houses, and playing in the sand pits.

 Easter Sunday we had the Korenthal family over for a waffle breakfast. The kids were thrilled to have over ten different toppings to put on their waffles.

 The Easter Egg hunt was a huge success as a result of very long grass. The eggs were not as easy to find and the Easter Egg hunt lasted ~20 minutes. Now that the kids are older, it was fun to watch them have to search really hard for the eggs.
