After celebrating Christ's resurection at church we headed home and had an Easter brunch extravaganza. Amazing food, great company, but sadly only three pictures...here they are. I was sooooo busy cooking that I never got a chance to take pics. Sad, but true. We had ham steaks, eggs, and an awesome pancake bar. Lots of family, tons of eggs, and too much candy. It was the perfect storm :):)
This year the Easter Bunny stepped it up a notch. He actually delivered the baskets and goodies to each kids room along with a personal egg hunt. Mr. E.B. told me he did this because he knows that the kids all wake up at different times and he thought it would be a shame if they whole house was awake at 5 am. I thanked him kindly ;) and each kids was thrilled with their goodies and the eggs that littered their rooms. 
Aren't they the cutest when they are sleeping away!?! Oh of course I couldn't help but still some kisses while they were snoozing!
Miss Miranda thought it was amazing that she had just said she needed a baby doll and look, what do you know, there is a new one! She has decided that Mr. E.B. is like Santa...
Love, love, love!!!
This year we colored 40 eggs....it was fun (for about five minutes then Andrew and Payton took off to play the Wii). Miss Miranda and mommy were busy little bees, coloring, glittering, and what not. I took very few pictures...super sad. But we had a great time none the less!
I'm pretty sure girl could be a model one day :):)
Here is a shot of 4 eggs. Multiply this by ten and there you go!
As you know Daddy is the king of fresh squeezed OJ but now the kiddos are in charge of fresh lemonade. They did such a good job! First, they picked the lemons. Next, they squeezed the lemons. Last, they put sugar in. It was super tart, but they loved the fact that they did this all by themselves, start to finish :):) 
Andy and his crazy smile. He really makes me laugh with his silly ways :)
Miss sister sue is always busy helping out, working hard, and playing. I just love this little thing!!!
Miranda was very proud of the science project. She helped pick the butterflies fresh oranges and all! :):)
Our week was filled with so many different fun activities that I am only going to include a few pictures in one post. We shopped, ate good food, went to Legoland, the San Diego zoo, the spa, and the beach! 
Andy and Miranda loved the Storybook ride at Legoland. It was a cruise through fairytales, and naturally everything was made of Legos!!
I think this was a highlight for Payton..Again at Legoland, he got to meet Bob the Builder...one of Pay's favorite people.
This lion was cracking me up. I had each kid put their head through the mouth. Obviously Andy was not sure about that!
This was a shot from the zoo. Mimi bought the kids these tie-dye shirts as we walked in. They were great because I could spy the kids from a mile away (not that I ever let them get that far away) and the animals would go crazy for the shirts. We had a friendly otter that was swimming and following Andy run, little monkeys play with Pay...One guy at the zoo was joking with the kids and he told them that the animals were thinking, "Yum, tie-dye..my favorite flavor!"
