easter 2012.

Here's pretty much a picture rundown of our Easter weekend.

Like I said, 3 in 24 hours... :)

My maternal grandparents got to meet Jia for the first time...Jia & my Papa FuzzThe boys enjoyed several egg hunts...I have to admit,

Easter morning this year was a whole new world with a baby girl...So fun!
Jia's Easter dress was actually a shower gift from Jami - thanks Jami, I love it!

Annnnd the photo shoot is over... ;)

This year I wanted to do something really simple, cute & homemade

for Easter baskets.

...like buckets. :)
I can't claim the idea as my own.
I think I saw it on jones design company a couple years ago.
But it worked out pretty well.
The majority of the bucket is stuffed with tissue paper

and then I got each kid something special.Books for Jaymin since he's reading constantly these days.

{love.}
A mini basketball for Jett since he can already dribble a full size.
{what!?}
And paci's for Jia...since she was low. ;)
The boys also got new toothbrushes
{I guess I'm THAT mom now :) }
and just a few m&m's inside some Easter eggs.
Which Jett devoured as quickly as humanly possible.

I spent some time making these tags
so I plan on using this same set up next year.
I told Emily I wasn't really planning on color coding my children...
But it just keep happening this way, so there ya go. ;)

After church we snapped a couple of family photos with friends.Love these girls.

Love the chaos. :)I am totally one of those nerds

who color coordinates her family for Easter.
I just can't seem to help myself.
I get inspired by something
(this year it was this dress that I really wanted for myself ;) )
and then it just goes from there. :)Love him.

Hangin' in my parents backyard...

No, this is not a homeless man joining us for Easter dinner.

It's my newlywed little brother.

I guess he's comfortable with his wife. ;)

We wrapped up the day with a picnic at Clinton Lake
with Jeff's parents & came home exhausted & smelling like campfire.
It was a good weekend.
...but I'm glad its over. ;)

Side note.
Jia Rose is 2 months old today!!
I need to document her chubbiness very soon.
