Easter at Great Grandma's

We spent Easter at Great Grandma Wilkes' house in Star Valley, Wyoming. It was so fun to have all of my siblings and their kids there! It made for a crazy house FULL of people, but also full of so many FUN memories!! Thanks for hosting us Aunt Carolyn and Grandma!!The babies always LOVE playing on Grandma's Walker. It makes Grandma really nervous that they are going to fall off, but they never do, they just hang on for the FUN ride!!!Book Reading kept some of the kids quiet for a little while.

Great Grandma was a wonderful coloring buddy! It was so cute how the Girl's would just pile Great Grandma with toys and want her to play with them.

It was REALLY warm inside Great Grandma's house so we stripped the three youngest down to their onsies and laughed at how different they look. Zachary filled out his onsie the best and it was the biggest one and he is the youngest!

We had to get a picture with the Easter bunny. Emma was nervous and CRIED most of the time on Bunnies lap, but we did capture one picture without the tears. Zachary only cared about those colorful eggs he could see on the ground!

We found eggs in the SNOW!And we LOVED every minute of HUNTING for the Eggs!Aunt Julie was sorting her eggs, so Emma sorted her eggs too.The Happy Egg Hunters Zachary's "hidden" eggs.
Zachary found his eggs with EASE!What a stash of EGGS!Quite HAPPY with his FIND!We always make "Bunny Bags" out of a paper sack for our Easter Baskets. Emma was delighted to color ALL over her bunny face she had me make! Posing by the Bunny Bags. Emma was totally in LOVE with some old Hymn books that Great Grandma had. She carted them around the whole weekend long and spent much of her time singing from them. Great Grandma loved hearing the little girls sing, although the rest of us wanted it to END!Emma with her Easter Goods!Fashion Queen of the CENTURY!
What a FASHION statement!!!Zachary with his Bunny Goods.Amazed with his Easter Goods!!!
We had such a FUN time at Great Grandma's house and are so grateful we got to spend the Easter Holiday with lots of FAMILY!
