Easter..a little late

I'm finally getting around to posting pictures of Easter.  It was a wonderful holiday with a lot of family around, as in 21 of the crazy Black family all came to stay at our house just five days after we moved in.  Tyson and I worked hard to get the boxes unpacked and everything put away (or hid away) so that we could enjoy the long holiday weekend with everyone, and somehow we pulled it off.

I had spent every waking moment unpacking and organizing the house right up until everyone showed up, so it became Tyson's sister, Natalie's job to organize the meals for everyone and the cooking (what a rotten host I am huh?).   She did an awesome job and made some very yummy food for us.  Thank you Natalie for all your talent and hard work!!!

We had to have an Easter egg hunt, but it was too cold to go out anywhere and too chaotic to get everyone organized to go, so we had it in our backyard.  Thanks once again to Natalie, there were prizes, candy, and money galore in the eggs!  The ladies stuffed the eggs and organized the prizes, then the men hid them all, and then the kids went crazy!  There's nothing like an Easter Egg Hunt with over 300 eggs for 11 grandkids to find.

Mackenzie got the idea quickly as soon as the door was opened and all the cousins went wild.

Collin on the other hand, was very slow to get the eggs.  He saw them and knew to get them, but didn't see any hurry in the matter.

On the hunt...

Notice no eggs nor basket, just some candy in each hand.  That's my boy!

Easter happened to fall on my birthday this year, so I had to have a picture with my sweet family.
