Easter-Palooza 2015

The hunt was on.  There were so many eggs Andrew couldn't hide them all so he just threw them all over the lawn. 

Big Will was a great hunter thanks to our mock hunt at Grandma's earlier in the week.

When one basket fills up you get another.

We put the picnic tables on the screened in porch for the kids to eat.

Aunt Nessie was responsible for manning Kit-Kat.  They both had fun toting and being toted.

TJ played with the kids and was their favorite when he spun them around and around and high in the air.

Ahhhh.  Here we are missing two kids. Big Will and Thomas.

We added Thomas.  Big Will was in a mood.

All of us.  It makes my heart so happy to see a picture of all of us and see what an amazing family my kids are surrounded by.

He didn't wake up so well.

We can do things like sit on the porch now.  It's refreshing and amazing.  We still laugh about the parents we were when we first met and now four years and a gazillion kids later.

Tickle Aunt Nessie.

Roller coaster provided entertainment for all.  They even politely took turns.

And then Palooza ended.  Clean up was pretty easy this year with the kids being kept outside and using paper plates! It felt like we finally found the right balance between what we prepare vs what we ask others to prepare and bring.  I feel like it was the best Palooza yet.
