EaStEr Brunch and Egg HuNt! ;)

This Saturday (April 23) we hosted several of our friends for an Easter Brunch and Egg Hunt...we had the BEST time! :)

We did the egg hunt across the street at the soccer fields which worked out perfectly.  Hudson is waiting patiently (something we are always working on;) for his friends to catch up...

Loving the egg hunt... the kids loved eating the candy and treats!  Hudson surprisingly has a "strong" sweet-tooth, so I put yogurt covered raisins in some of the eggs...he was thrilled showing everyone his "nandy"! hahaha! We'll see how long it lasts until he realizes it's NOT chocolate! ;)

Hudson and his buddy Jack (I have more of these 2 on facebook...they're a little "territorial" of their candy..haha! ;).

Jack, Hudson and Maddie...and look what we finally got a picture of...

A picture of ALL the kiddos (minus 3 adorable babies that were with their momma's)!!  If you only knew how long this took... once we had one child sitting another was running off!  Thankfully our good friend, Matthew had a real talent with corralling the kiddos! ;)

Enjoying all the candy!

Hudson wasn't really in the picture-taking mood...he was focused on the egg hunt! ;)

Brad was showing all the boys how to roll down a hill... I love Brad's "child-like" spirit! ;)

Finally...a family picture! ;) We're having a wonderful Easter weekend! 

I'm so unbelieveably thankful for this holiday more than ANY other!  Thankful for my savior that conquored death by death!

But Jesus was pierced for our transgressions, HE was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon HIM, and by HIS wounds we are healed. ~Isaiah 53:5
