Saturday of Smiles

We could not have asked for a more perfect day! It was literally dripping spring everywhere you looked...

Carter had Grandpa out doing sniper exercises after breakfast...

Anderson and Julia find tremendous joy in ringing the bell in the backyard.  Their expressions are priceless...

Then a few rounds of basketball...

and tree climbing...

After lunch they decorated foam eggs...

Then we headed to the playground for some swinging...

and soccer...

and fun...

All this playing was making everyone hot, so a trip to Rita's was in order- yum!!!

Then we dyed Easter eggs (nothing like some near-nude fun.  So funny that this same scene is being replicated in homes across the country :)...

decorated cookies...

...and kids!! They ate a crazy amount of icing from their bodies after they iced their own bellies!

It was a wonderful day of family fun.  The kids were on the move from breakfast until bath.  By the end of the day they were all dirty, sticky, and smiling from ear to ear.  We are so thankful for the time we spend together!
