Easter

Every Easter the kids wake up to find a piece of yarn tied to their bed.  They follow the yarn all over the house --around and under furniture, in and out of closets, etc.  With 6 children the whole house looks like a giant spider web.  All the kids race to follow the string and find their basket.  This year John was out of town on Saturday night so I decided to do the string thing on Saturday morning instead of Sunday.  I will always do it the day before Sunday from now on.  It was much more peaceful on Sunday morning and not so crazy getting ready for church while tripping over the string.  We made the rule the kids have to wind up their string before eating any Easter candy.

This is RayAnne's annual Easter Egg hunt.  All the children are ready to make a dash for the hundreds of eggs the older kids hide.
