When we came home we colored eggs. I almost forgot this year. Greg had just as much fun as the girls. I almost had to stop him because I didn't boil that many eggs. 
Easter morning I was startled awake at 7:15 by Hayden standing about an inch away from my face. I think she actually got up earlier because I heard an egg full of jelly beans rattle at around 4-ish. So we got up and the girls went through their baskets and i tried to keep them from eating too much candy at that early hour. Then after church we headed to Aunt Ericas for our annual Averett Family Easter Party. It's the best because the girls get more money than candy. Thank you Grandma Dixie! Then we ate yummy turkey and ham etc... and the highlight of the day is always flying kites. The kids all love it and the Crandalls house is the perfect place to fly kites. Not surprising, Greg was the last one to bring his kite down. He grumbles about having to put 3 kites together but he takes his kite flying very seriously. I can't wait to hear him grumble about putting 4 kites together next year! Gracie's kite never did fly but she still had fun and Chandler did awesome! I saw her standing out in the field and didn't realize she was holding on to her very own kite just like a big kid! I kept waiting for her to let go of it but in the end I'm the one who lost my kite. I thought it was history but Greg chased it down!
We always have such a good Easter thanks to the Crandalls and Grandma Dixie. I hope we will keep up this tradition for a long time!

Always doing something so fun. Makybe you will try to out do Gary and not only will Greg have four kites to put together but six! Just imagine that one. I don't think you heard Hayden at 4, I think it was the Easter Bunny leaving:)
So much fun! I always thought we celebrated pretty big, but we are small time compared to you guys! The last picture is classic! It could easily be an ad -- it is so beautiful with the rolling hills and the snow tipped mountains in the background. Happy Easter!
What a fun Easter tradition! Seriously, it sounds like you had a ball. Noah loves to fly kites, as well...he has some trick kites that he got one time on the beach, and he tries to go fly them with his brother every few weeks...especially if there's enough wind that he's not flying helicopters.
I can't believe how big your girls are getting. I miss seeing them. Thanks for the easter update! Hope you're feeling well...
Talk about an Easter celebration! Were you all totally pooped after all that partying? What cute, cute girls. I love what a good dad Greg is to those little girls. Although you have the cutest girls, I hope Greg gets a boy this time.
Thanks Robbin for helping an ole' gal out finding her blog spot,my hell, is mine long enough? We did have alot of fun, and the kites are always the finale of a great day. Thanks for the post and update.
