Wow..craziness

Brennan really loved the Knox Blox that are a Grandpa speciality. Putting them down like candy, he was.
Really can you have enough chocolate and caramel in one delicious bite? Wynter, Noah, and Kris don't think so.


Awaiting the all important egg hunt. All those fabulously colored eggs are hidden, can we find them all?

Carter is a very serious egg hunter. I think he was a little overwhelmed with all the children there to help. He is normally the only one interested in finding the eggs, therefore, having the pleasure of taking his time.
We thought we were golden and found all the eggs when one carton came up one short. Carter was truly disappointed in himself for not being able to find this last egg. We all searched high and low, no one could find it. Carter persevered long after everyone else had given up. This might be the part of the story where you would hear he found it and all was right with the world again. However, it is still lost. Carter had to take a moment and compose himself because he was so sad that is was lost. I don't think he even remembers that one egg is still hidden deep in the front garden of Grandma's and Grandpa's house.

Wynter was a fabulous helper. She would help Brennan find one and then he would run to the egg collectors excited as can be.

Taylor, she was thrilled and went full force to find as many as she could.

Mason had some help and got so excited when he would see one. He was really careful with them. We could only let him find one at a time because if there were two he would clap them together with the thrill of the find.

Grandpa was known to take an egg out of the carton he was collecting in and 'hiding' it again. Mason thought this was great, he was the one finding all these extra gems. :)

Brennan on a stroll, just taking it all in.

How many eggs can you juggle, Grandpa?

All the kids. The funniest thing about the picture is getting Mason to sit down. While we were deciding the best course of action our wonderful and talented Skye says, "I could just restrain him." Love it! They know Mason so well. :) That job was harder than it seemed at first, however, she got it done and we got quite a few great pics.


The handing out of some 'goods' from Grandpa and Grandma. They never realized the fun they were about to unleash.



The 6 girls. Love my sisters to death. They are my best friends and I love them each dearly.



The jump ropes from Gma and Gpa were a huge hit. Not just with the children. I couldn't jump rope and take pictures, so you just have to imagine.
Jamie, Joshua, Sahara, and Zoie.
The kids were exhausted after all the jumping and a movie time seemed just the ticket. I don't think they were all exhausted because Taylor and Brennan didn't leave Grandpa alone.

I don't know what they are doing, but it much have been fun!

*there will be more Easter pics again, as soon as I get them. :) This also starts the really bad plague of the Christiansen's. Not us, thankfully, all of Mike's siblings and their children were dealing with this nasty fever, sick, week long horrid virus. Talk about worse timing ever. We all had to steer clear of each other to avoid contamination. :(
