Easter Excitement

Here are several pictures of the Easter weekend. They are in no particular order but enjoy... Olivia and Alayna posing in their darling dresses that Grandma Lou bought them. They love to be twins...
A family picture at the Herriman Easter Egg Hunt...don't laugh at my wrinkles we were looking directly into the SUN!
Daddy and Alayna...the tradition. Jared comes for the 30 second Easter Egg hunt, and then leaves for work at the Mayan...Thanks for working so hard and finding time for the family!
Sitting on the grass enjoying some new found treats!

Sunday afternoon Alayna was able to color a few Easter eggs.
Alayna, Kierra and Olivia...they are as darling as can be!
The best picture I could manage...Jake was SO tired and Alayna was DONE posing for pictures!

Alayna showing us her Easter basket after our First Annual Perry Family Easter Egg Hunt!
Searching for all the hidden treasures.
" I found one!"
All the kids that are big enough to walk around and find Easter eggs.
This pretty much wraps up our Easter excitement. The funniest story about the weekend would have to be the children. We decided to hide TONS of candy at out first annual Perry Easter egg hunt. With the full intentions of taking back the majority of the candy. Well shortly after the hung was over, the parents got distracted and decided to go house shopping. (Random, I know but my family is SO excited for Jared and I to stay here that they want to help us find a house!) So anyways...we left all the kids with Uncle Riley, while we left. Riley was watching basketball inside while the kids were outside playing in the sunshine. The sisters and my parents returned home about an hour later, and Alayna came running inside. She said, "Mom, I want some more Easter candy!" I said, "Where is you basket of candy?" She replied, "It's all gone, Mom I want some more!" I laughed thinking she was certainly wrong, but then we followed her outside, and to our shock the kids had finished off every piece of candy in all their baskets! It was so disgusting! They had eaten over 6 full bags of candy, Jelly Beans, Reece's pieces, Chocolate, Robin Eggs, etc. We thought for sure they would be sick, but luckily no one was!
