Easter 2015

Easter 2015 ... EARS to you! Jen brought the eggs, and the ears (and who knows what silly sunglasses and mustaches have to do with Easter Bunny poses, but they make for fun photoshoots). There are a few April birthdays too, and Jen was craving cake ... so throw in a little birthday celebration along with Easter! 

Easter was April 4th this year. The Westra celebration was Saturday, April 3rd. Wendy's family had come up earlier after a lot of excitement (Janika's mission call) ... the cousins had some extra time with Shane and Alicia's family, and extra Easter activities with Grandma and Grandpa. Dying eggs, and a New Haven Neighborhood Hunt, with REAL bunnies (both big costumed, and little live ones).

 ... then it was the group gathering in the Westra backyard for the annual Easter activities.

 Lots of little toys, trinkets and candy in the eggs. 

Big kids hide them, little ones find them.

Gather all the grandkids on the stairs for a group photo ...

And a picture of all the adults snapping away too!

... another picture tidbit from the time. 

Recreating a Derek/UpsideDownBaby photo

Back in 2011 D&D had the cute picture taken with Ani.

Now to create a similar scene with baby Layla.

Random Memories//Did You Know?

Grayson jogged over halfway to get to the party. He left before the Blackham Bunch, sporting a new Fitbit Surge (he ended up not loving it, returned it). He made it about six of the 10 miles before Jen caught up in the car, and accepted a ride for the rest of the way. He'd planned ahead and brought a change of clothes, and took a quick shower.
