Our Easter was a little wacky this year.  We always go to my mom's side of the family for a big easter breakfast, but this year WE were in line to host.  The whole extended family shows up - totalling over 50 people.  We served breakfast family-style for 2.5 hours consisting of roughly 35# of grilled ham, 17# of hashbrowns, 12 dozen eggs, 8 gallons of oj and 2 pans of swedish kringle!  God bless my mom for heading up the kitchen.  The afternoon was completed by horshoes in the backyard (yes, they dug 2 pits in our yard...) potluck snacks and a couple cases of beer.  It's an odd tradition, but a tradition none the less and we won't have to host for (hopefully) another 15 years or so! Because of all of this craziness, not many pictures were taken of the day.
 

Peep Bouquet!


We dyed 3 eggs


Fin had her dress on for 30 mins or so - long enough to run around the yard and roll down the hill in it!


Then, she changed into more job appropriate clothing - here she is as our egg explorer extraordinaire


She sort of got the point of the egg hunt...



The day was beautiful and we spend the entire afternoon sitting in the sun.  What a wonderful Easter!
