Easter Weekend

Although Easter was a long time ago I thought I should post some pictures of our fun Easter weekend. Our friends Jim and Lisa, and their two boys Jake and Justin came into town for the holiday. We spent Saturday hanging out with them at the community Easter Egg Hunt and at Leaf and Feather Nursery. The kids had a great time hunting (just picking up) eggs and playing in the jump houses. I think their favorite part was the petting zoo with the baby chicks. Afterward we went over to Leaf and Feather and visited with the birds and the monkey, who was not on his best behavior! Here are some pictures of our day...

Here is Nathan, with Justin in the background, collecting eggs. They each got ten eggs that they traded in for a bag of candy.

Here is the crew all together with the Easter Bunny. From left to right Kylee, Lauren, Nathan, Justin and Jake (we missed Peter). As you can see Jake was a little nervous sitting by the bunny...hehe.
Kylee loving on the baby chick. She has such a way with animals it is amazing. I tell you Ash and Cali LOVE her. They sleep with her every night.

Oh my so cute! Here is Justin and Nathan heading into the petting zoo. Such cute friends.

Arms still around Nathan as they love on the baby chick.

I guess they thought the chick was tired of walking and put him on the back of the goat for a ride.

Here is Kylee and Jake eating fun dip and being utterly goofy. They are so cute together and have so much fun making each other laugh.

Now they are at Leaf and Feather visiting the cow and baby Brahma. The Brahma loves attention, which the kiddos didn't mind giving.

On Easter Sunday the kids were able to make colored eggs and Easter themed sugar cookies. They really enjoyed it, and so did I. They were really creative with the way the dyed the eggs and made stripes on the Easter egg cookies. Here are some pictures from Easter Sunday.

Kylee and Nathan dying eggs.

I love Nathans tiny hand in this picture.

Decorating cookies. That is a sugar induced smile Nathan is sporting. Kylee is concentrating really hard on her decorating. It paid off because her cookies were beautiful.

The Easter Bunny has a hard job in Arizona with it being so hot. If you look closely you can see that the chocolate bunnies are a little melted in the head and ears region...oops. It was very warm weekend. Poor bunny tried his best.

Here is Nathan in the outfit the Easter Bunny brought playing with Kona. Nathan takes advantage of her being still while she is chewing on a toy and he loves all over her.
