No place like home!!! Easter wrap-up!!!

There's no place like home!! Just got back home from visiting my brother in Lubbock this week! Griffin and I met my mom up there and had the best time.... but, more to come on that....i wanted to finish my Easter blogs!

so.....catching up.....

We followed up the egg coloring/decorating/stickering with an egg hunt. These pics are just too cute!!

love love love this sweet little boy!

a-dor-able cousins!

Not sure if they are debating over whose eggs are whose...or if Kolton is trying to teach Griffin a thing or two about egg hunting!
Yes, that is my child dumping eggs on the ground! ;)

Easter egg coloring!

On to egg coloring! All of the Knoettgen cousins (that were in town) got together for a egg decorating/coloring!! The kids thought it was super fun...and Griffin had fun coloring all 3 of his eggs! Doesn't take much until his fun bucket is full!

loves his accessories! gotta love him!!!

obviously very proud of his egg!

Spring spheres!

A few Easter fun facts:

1. When taking a bite into a chocolate bunny, 76 percent of Americans prefer to bite off the ears first.
2. Candy rules...and 75 percent of kids report they are willing to do extra chores for more Easter candy.
3. This Easter, more than 700 million Marshmallow Peeps, chicks, bunnies and eggs will be consumed, making them the most popular non-chocolate Easter candy.
4. Easter eggs were originally referred to as 'Spring spheres'

First Easter egg hunt of the season at Grandma Phyllis'! Sooo excited!!

My girl friend Tracy and I took our kiddos shopping this week! yes...the reason you don't see any pics of us shopping is because with 3 kiddos... we. didn't. get. much. shopping. done ......but had a great time anyways!!!

Griffin LOVES the girls!!! he only wanted to ride in their stroller!

Best friends...they have swim lessons together, neighbors so they get to play together all of the time, and are quite the pair! Tracy and I have our hands full if they end up together! But it will make for some fun family trips!!!
