Easter with the fam

We made the trip home to Horseheads for the Easter holiday.  We actually hadn't been there last since Christmas, so it was especially nice to be "home."  Owen was able to participate in the festivities a little more this year since he's a little older.

I told you Owen is into baking right now.  Well his grandma asked Owen to help with the Easter bunny cake...I don't know if she realized what she was getting into.  Here is where he pushed a chair over and climbed up to the counter to steal frosting.

She gave him little scrap pieces of cake to much on while she worked, but Owen decided that wasn't enough cake.

So he took the entire ear of the bunny an sank his teeth into it.  I had to put the camera down quickly here and help out or we would've had a weird looking bunny cake.

Then we dyed some Easter eggs.  He drew some scribbles on the eggs and Mommy helped him write his name.

He did pretty well with them.  He seemed to like the colors and putting stickers on them of course.

After eggs Owen got some good play time with his cousins Grace and Alex.  The best part was the dogpile on Daddy...yeah he's under there somewhere.

Then we went to my parents' house for awhile and played with the other cousins.  We did hide and seek, slides, and beanbag toss with them.  We also had some good pizza for dinner.

I'm just posting this because it was a cute one of Kendall...

Easter morning came and we all got dressed up and went to church and to Dennis's Grandma's house for brunch.  I forgot my camera oops.
We went back to the Hall's for an Easter egg hunt and baskets.  Owen had been practicing all week at home in Buffalo for the hunt, so he was prepared.  Here he points to an egg and Grandma and Alex retrieve it.

The Easter bunny treated the kids pretty well.  Owen got lots of fun things, as did the adults.  There was treats, bubbles, cars, and clothes in the baskets.

After baskets the kids were on a little sugar high, which of course is supposed to happen at Easter.  Alex started doing "cheers" with Owen with sippy cups and he was cracking up so much his face was bright red.  Now he keeps doing "cheers" to everyone all the time.  Too cute!

We had Sam take a family photo for us before we left since we all looked decently cleaned up for once.  Thanks Sam!
We then headed back to the Edwards house for more treats and playing.  We had a great weekend!
