Easter and Babies Blessings

Happy Easter to everyone!! This was the best Easter we have had in a long time with lots of family from out of town! My dad was able to make it here from CO and my sister was able to come from Utah. All for the special event of baby Suzy and baby Lily being blessed on Easter Sunday. I apologise in advance for the number of pictures! It's hard to narrow them down when we had such a great day!
So here are they boys hunting for Easter eggs outside! They had a blast!
My sweet little Benny Boo

and here's how Tom spent the morning, LOL



The Easter Bunny came!!




Ben and Isaac ate some much chocolate, it literally made them sick.




more Easter egg hunt pictures




Ben and Sydni workin together! Aren't they so cute?!




Isaac, the proud finder of many eggs with prizes inside!




Ben found some eggs is what we thought were easy places for him.




Sydni with all her eggs!!





Brennan and Isaac






Easter evening, we all met at the Barney's for the big event... the babies blessings. They were both so completely precious. Here is my little Lily pie in her blessing dress. She is now up to 8 pounds!




And here is little Suzy Q in her beautiful blessing dress!





Our place settings for dinner.





This is my brother ray (youngest of the boys) holding Ana and Abigail. They all love getting a ride from Ray. Ana and Abigail are Becca's oldest daughters.




the family starting to gather for the blessings





an attempt at a family picture. Kinda hard when there's 50 or more people they are wanting to squeeze into one picture. Especially when some of them are crazy little kids.






My sweet little family in our Easter outfits! Aren't the boys just so so so adorable?!






This is me with my little Lily pie. Notice how beautiful her blessing dress is.





Ha, ha, this is what I attempted to eat for dinner. Not quite back to 100% since my surgery last week.





our huge family eating!






one of two tables, LOL. not including the 3 large kids tables!






Me holding my miss Suzy Q! Didn't get one of her before they changed her out of her blessing dress. I was kinda bummed.




Isaac, just takin it easy.




Ben outside playing with the cousins after the blessings!






My dad holding little Lily pie!





Half of the siblings we could scrounge up for a family picture, LOL. Oh well




And half of the sisters. At least we got the best ones in the photo, JK. Anyhoo, this is me (left), Becca (middle) and Katie (right). I just have to say real quick how much i really do love my sisters. they mean everything in the world to me and are such a huge support. They make my life better. I love you all, even the one's not in the picture!






Here are my sister Becca and me with my Dad. I love him dearly and am so thankful he was able to make it down for the blessings. It really is very rare when we get to see him, but it's always a treat.








Awwww, and me and my dadio. Love you more that words can say! It was a great weekend visiting with family, remembering mom and how much she would be loving having all these new babies around, getting teased by the older brothers, etc. We couldn't have asked for a better Easter!
