Fun with science!!

Morgan bought a science kit while we were in Toronto and has been eager to try it out!  Today Steve helped her get a clock working with potatoes and they all (Aydin, Morgan and Liam) thought it was the coolest thing in the world!! 
I love that our kids enjoy science!

Easter... a week later!

Today we celebrated Easter because we were not home for it last week.  The kids woke up and were very excited to find baskets... 






Heading to church: 
I LOVE this dress!!
 After church the kids found their first hint for the golden egg.
 This year... it was in the mailbox.
 filled with money...

 We also had our egg hunt with fabulous people... Blaine and Maria (and kids), Alvaro and Susanna (and girls) and Ronnie and Virginia (and little lady).  We thought it would be fun to include our Spanish friends on the hunt... and we were right... the girls LOVED it!!

The Powell's came a bit early to eat lunch... and help set up.
Maria and Liam frosting cupcakes...
Well, Maria frosting.... Liam eating frosting:

 Jello
 Isabelle and Morgan
 Aydin, Brennan and Liam

We hid all the eggs while the kids played inside.... they were EVERY WHERE!!!

 Susanna needed to run home for a minute... so we waited to start.


 And the kids peaked....

 We made the older kids wait a minute while the younger ones got started.  They thought were being tortured...
Virginia, Mara and Ronnie
 Ready...
 Get set....
 GO!!



Liam dropped his basket and all the eggs went everywhere....
Susanna and Virginia helped while I of course took a picture

 Steve threw an egg with euros in the pool...
Aydin went in and got it.

 Alvaro, Susanna and Vega




 While everyone else felt they got them all or had enough...
Aydin and Isabelle kept looking...







I love moments like these with people we love.  
We are so lucky to have found amazing friends to share holidays (and make up holidays) with!!
