Here Comes Peter Cottontail

This afternoon...

the only sunny day after days of rain...

We hosted our annual ...

The winds were strong,

even knocking down our nice shady canopy tent...

and I was under it!

It went down our lane like a tumbleweed!

Thank goodness I was just setting up and nobody witnessed it!
We had to use Jon's truck to block the wind.

(And it didn't look nearly as pretty without our tent and Easter bunting)

First two to the party!

I'm loving cousin Megan's new glasses!

(Now all the girls want glasses!)

And here came cousin Madison...

riding to the shindig!

After everyone arrived...

look who we saw hopping down the road!!!

PETER COTTONTAIL!

All the kiddies oohhed and aawwed!

Our annual 2011 Easter photo!

(Yes, it looks like I was drug by my hair from the back of a truck...for days! EEK!)
The bunny with most of the children!

Oh, my sweet Henry just LOVED the bunny!

He kept hugging it, saying "Awwwwww"!!!!!

Henry's adorable friend Aspen...so chic!

We even had two new babies make their debut!

Lindsey's babe, Adelynn, is almost a few weeks old!
And Jenny's babe, Levi, is only 4 days old!

I made and stuffed one dozen personalized eggs for each child.

The little ones got some unmarked eggs, cookie tubes and balls!

Cousin Megan...checking out her loot!

First up...kiddie tug-o-war!

Then it was the annual couples 3 legged race!

We made the two new dads go together! Ha!

And hubs and yours truly....smoked the Vineys!
(We came in 2nd overall! We hear that the winners had pre-sack race tourney boot camp!)

The little people got a shot at it too!

They all had to "run" to Jon and back!

Then the mommas had to TP their kiddies!

Here's our winner, Shonda!

(Who also won the 3 legged race with her hubs...See? Boot camp, I say!)

Oh wait...

maybe the winner was wonderful Ms. Marathon runner, Lacey!
Not for sure who won...I couldn't see a darn thing!

Guess Jessica couldn't either...WINDY!

Kisha just had fun wrapping sweet Tate up! Love that her hubs, Tony, got it all on film!

It was soon time for DAD'S TARP DRAG...(drag your children)!

Oh goodness, the children...all of them...absolutely LOVED this!

Henry...his FAVE! He even rode on tarp with other families!

Other dads were pulling my son...and some didn't even know it!

****

The balloon sandwich race.

Emily and Evann.
Egg passing relay!

After all of the fun games,

everyone had refreshments...

and enjoyed the wonderful afternoon weather!

What a fantastic egg hunt.

We have such amazing friends and family!

New ideas are already swirling in my head for next year's hunt!

Now, off to plan a little morning hunt for my own little peeps!
