Behind (Easter Edition)

A little behind on getting my Easter pics up...sorry!
On Saturday, we headed up to Duke's parents house to hang out, spend the night and celebrate Easter day with his entire family. The kids made sure to bring long their Easter baskets and the Easter bunny made sure to find them at Grandma and Grandpa's and stuffed their baskets full!
The kids were up much too late on Saturday night and up much too early on Sunday morning, and Audrey was up throughout the night with a low grade fever so needless to say, Mama was a bit tired on Sunday.
But that didn't stop us from having a fun day with family and enjoying wayyyyy too much food.
(This is our 6 1/2 year old niece, Emily...don't you love her 4 missing front teeth and the messy bed-head!?)
Audrey did sneak in a little late morning nap before the rest of the crew arrived for the big Easter meal.
I couldn't resist her adorable little sleepy self.
While Audrey was sleeping, Grant helped Grandpa clean weeds off the beach and then helped Grandma with a little last minute clean-up.
For some reason, I missed the rest of the inside action but made sure to grab my camera for the big Easter egg hunt.
This is where more of the 'behind' theme comes from. The kids were off and running so fast, hunting for their eggs, that almost all of the pictures I got were from behind.
Okay, I did manage to get a few from the front, but Audrey was so into the hunt that she would not stop to flash me a smile or pose for me in her adorable little outfit.
She was inspecting her egg to make sure that it was one of 'her' eggs with a smiley face on it.
Grant had sports ball eggs to find.
And Emily's were metallic ones.
This picture cracks me up...when taking it I didn't even notice Audrey in the background trying to reach one of her eggs!
What a mean Mommy! I probably should have made sure that hers were a little more on her level, huh?!!
Each kid had 8 eggs filled with change to find but poor Emily only found 7 of hers and I am terrible at remembering where I hide them so I wasn't much of a help.
Sorry for so many pics, but I just couldn't help myself with the kids all dressed up and the water looking so blue.
I also couldn't get enough of that silly little toothless smile either.
These next four are the only posed shots I could get the kids to stand still for.
The kids were stuck in 'cheese' mode so I didn't bet much for natural smiles but I still think a few of these are pretty cute.
Since saying 'cheese' wasn't working so well, I told them to smile like I had just said something really funny.
My, does Grant follow directions well!!!!! Just call him Chuckles!
The rest of the pictures are for your viewing enjoyment as it is getting late, I am tired and this will shock those of you who know me...I am simply running out of things to say on this post! Ha! So there you have it!! Look on...
