EASTER ["eastering"]

"Eastering" is a Talbot term. From what I've gathered , it means going in the hills, having a picnic & an easter egg hunt.

Saturday is the official "Eastering" day. And don't you even dare try to change it!

This year, since everyone is either having babies or dealing with some other issues, we decided to do the easter egg hunt! Thing didn't get communicated very well, so everyone ended up bringing eggs! So, there were like 200 eggs! You'd think that would make for a long easter egg hunt.. nope. it wasn't. the kids are too quick!

Jax had an absolute blast. Even if he was the slowest in the bunch and only got like 4 eggs! He really did not care. What he cared about most were these two things:  the other kids  & of course the "cascus" which surrounded us.









carson and jaxon are like best cousins. carson is SO GOOD to him. we forgot to bring a basket for jax, so carson let him borrow his. what a sweet kid!



Jax & Lizzie




almost all the cousins.
well, minus:  maddie, arrek, julia, hailey (new baby), bryce, daniella (new baby), & mckenna (new baby)
 



I'm really awful at getting pics of the adults!!
ugh! dang...next year!



THEN......
we were able to swing by Dax's (jax's bff) B-day party!
they rented a slide & the kids loved it!
Happy Birthday Dax!

looks like a fun Easter! I don't know how you got everyone to hold still and be some what looking at the picture of all the grandkids. I also LOVE your face and Jaxon's face as you are going down the slide!!

Relax. Be nice. Whatever.
