Easter Sunday 2012

Yes, I know, a bit behind.  For an explanation, see the previous post :)

The kids had lots of fun with the annual Easter egg hunt.  They get better each year.  I think the "bunny" needs to more creative with hiding the eggs.  

BTW...the bunny, tooth fairy AND Santa have all been ousted!

I'm also sorry to announce that Pumpkin seems to have succumbed to the dreaded 4th child syndrome :(  There is one, and only one picture of him on Easter Sunday :(  

I'm so sorry baby.

Have you ever seen a kid so excited over play-doh?

There's a family tradition here: my MIL gives each new member of the family a "name" ornament on their first Christmas as part of the family.  This is pumpkin's.  Hard to tell, but it's a very pretty shade of blue with his birthstone on it.
