We woke up Easter morning to the sound of Jamahl reading the note from the Eater Bunny to his sisters. I jumped out of bed to grab the camcorder, and I don't think that I sat down for the rest of the day. First the kids looked for their eggs inside. Jamahl had camouflage ones, Mckenzy had Hello Kitty ones, Keyan had Elmo eggs, Sidney hunted Spiderman eggs, and Abagayle looked for princess ones. They have been looking forward to the egg hunt since last year. After all the eggs had been found we had a big breakfast with chocolate bunnies for dessert! You gotta love the Easter candy!
Once breakfast was cleaned up and everyone was dressed, we headed outside for another egg hunt. This time it was a free for all and they were squealing with excitement when they would spot an egg. It was so much fun. Once all of the eggs had been found, we led them to the barn where their new bikes were waiting. No, we do not usually get this extravagant with Easter but the bikes were on sale this week, so we thought we might as well get the expense of it all over with! The kids were thrilled with the bikes. Jamahl was immediately ready to hop on and try to learn how to ride without training wheels. The girls were a little disgusted that their bikes were not put together. The day was the nicest that we have had since St. Patrick's day so the adults took turns helping Jamahl and Paul got busy building the other bikes. It was so cute to watch the girls anxiously "helping" Daddy get their bike together. By the end of the afternoon, Abby was pretty confident, McKenzy was coming right along with a little help getting started and turning, and Sidney was still figuring out how to peddle. Jamahl is working on his balance and Keyan was so happy for everyone she could hardly stand it....don't forget she got her ambike a couple months ago.
Uncle Jeremy and Auntie Roo arrived in time for dinner and than it was back outside to show them the bikes. We ended the day with ice cream at Captain Sundaes. It was a fantastic family day. When Paul and I finally fell into our beds that night, he said, "That was a fun day. It was great to watch the kids have so much fun, but I could not keep up to this pace all the time!" Who are you kidding honey.....we live this pace constantly!!! We hope that you had a great Easter!

Hi Stephanie. Found your mom and Facebook and she sent me the link to your Blog. We have been out of touch for way too long. Five kids and quad girls! That's wonderful.
Give all five a big hug from me.
