Easter at Kim and Jeff's

On Easter morning we drove up to Millis for family Easter brunch.  Cameron and Leah were beyond excited to see their cousins (the candy they ate in the morning most likely added to the excitement) and were bouncing the whole car ride.  Everyone played for a while, then headed outside to have an Easter egg hunt.  There were tons of eggs, some tricky ones and some a little easier for Leah.  The kids all had a great time.

Cam, picking up one egg while scanning the backyard for more

Ella and Jack grab some eggs

Must run to find more!!

I like that  Jack didn't even have time to put any in his basket, he has them all in his hands.  This egg hunting is serious stuff!

Leah finds one!

Cam going for more

Cameron and Jack looking over the wood pile - lots of little nooks and cranies that eggs can hide in.

Pretty girl

She did so well, getting lots of eggs

She was so excited to find this "pitty egg" (pretty egg)

I thought Cam looked so handsome in his Easter outfit

Some good looking Easter egg hunters

Leah, Ella, Cameron and Jack (Lucia was inside cause it was a bit too chilly out)

 They all crouched down and it was so cute!

There were eggs up in the playhouse, so they all went up there to get their eggs.  Then they wanted to slide down, including Leah....

Unfortunately, no one thought about the tights she was wearing and how they would send her flying down the slide.  At the end of the slide, she flew about three feet before hitting the ground.  It was pretty impressive.  Leah was not so impressed.

Jack and Cam grabbing the last few eggs up on the hill

Then it was time to go back inside and check out the loot

Uncle Jeff gives Leah a hand opening her eggs

Leah was very excited to have candy in her basket and chowed down immediately.   Unfortunately, in this picture she was attempting to chow down on a Starburst still in its wrapper.  Not exactly the delicious candy she was hoping for!

 Cam couldn't get over all of the candy he got, he was so excited

So was Leah (if you look close enough, you can see a mouth full of chocolate!)

The Easter brunch spread - it was all AMAZING!

While waiting for brunch to be ready, Leah built a tower.  She was very proud of herself.

After a delicious brunch meal, the kids got a few more Easter treats.

 Cam loved getting a new book

What a gorgeous girl!

Leah and Jack peek over the top of the chair

Cutie pie smile!

Leah got jealous of Lucia getting  lots of pictures taken in the chair, so as soon as Lucia was out of the chair, Leah was in!

Jack and Lucia

Hooray, cousins!!  Leah, Jack, Cameron, Ella and Lucia

Leah and Jack snuggles

Lucia really liked the pretty colored eggs

 Cam and Leah giving Jack kisses!!

 And a kiss for Leah, from Jack

We headed home around 2, driving pretty much the whole way through.  Cam, Leah and Mama fell asleep almost immediately and we all slept for 2-3 hours (all the way into NY!).  It was a wonderful long weekend in CT and MA!
