Each year, we usually host the Easter weekend festivities and this year was no different. We also had one other very important celebration...Will's 7th birthday!
Flash back. Can someone please bring our babies back?!
We all surprised the birthday boy!
As soon as everyone arrive Saturday, it was off to the races...PLAY-TIME!
Bubbles and cruising, why not?
Hey, while the girls cruise, some get his choice of the toys.
Decorating Aunt K's Dirt cake...or as Papa calls it, "the dirty cake". Haha
All Easter cakes are not complete until they have PEEPS on them...which for the record, I have always felt were highly overrated. :)
Look at all that good help, wait, I see someone taking a little taste ;)
The birthday boy showing off his new present. Good AIM!
Will wanted to get right to business, opening up presents from Nana and Papa and us.
Let's just say this boy will not have even more guns to add to his collection. I think he takes after his Uncle Robert!
Back to business!
Never to old for a picture with Nana.
Ok, now let's hop over to Easter time festivities! Notice the girls ready in their gowns. Everyone started at the same time this year, no handicaps! Next year little Grant will have one, but the big kids are on their own!
And they're off!
Kate found the land of milk and honey on the trampoline!
Maddie decided to sneak off and clear the side yard.
My two curly-cuties.

Going through the loot with Nana.
Lots and lots of loot let me tell you.
The Birthday boy found the big prize egg this year, $5!
The grill master.
The birthday boy got an ice cold Coca Cola...in a bottle, now that is a treat in itself.
Soccer time!
Papa had to babysit Okie it seems.
The girls snuck off to get our nails done, the boys went to Cabellas.
Will was smart, he elected to save half of his gifts for later, so he had a little dessert after dinner. ;)
A little after dinner cruise.
Big muscles for a big boy.
But there were grenades thrown...
...and lots of taking down the enemy.
Collin got brave and came in for a close shot!
Cake time!
Talk about service, three candle lighters.
May all your dreams come true sweet Will.
Easter baskets!
Look at that pretty little mermaid.
Baby Grant's first Easter!
He finally got his shark snuggie!
What a scary little shark! ;)
Now that is called sharing!
Cascarones! No Easter is complete without them. Poor Papa is always prime target.
Maddie was not interested...at first.
But she was persuaded!
Easter 2017.
A little throwback to last year.
And the year before!
Grateful for a Savior who died on the cross and rose a victor...and for the hope of Eternal Salvation with HIM.
Hallelujah He arose!
