Relaxation and Easter

My mom and dad are officially the best. Dan had to go to Vegas Sunday through Wednesday night and so my mom had us take the crazies plus Zoey down to Delta, so I could have a break. I kept my baby and it was so relaxing to just have 1 kid. I was able to get things done that should have been done a long time ago. But I also enjoyed the quiet and calm a little too much, because I didn't get done some of the things that I wanted to get done. Oh well!
We went to Delta Friday night and had a good Easter weekend. We did the annual hot dog and cotton candy thing, which is always yummy. Too bad it wasn't the best weather! The kids all decorated their eggs.



We had a birthday party for the April birthday's.



The crazies enjoyed everything that the Easter Bunny left for them. Their favorite was a little chick that 'hatched' from an egg during the night. It is a Brooks' tradition that I will definitely keep doing. They thought it was the best!







They looked so beautiful in their new dresses.



The cousins loved being together. They had a blast with the egg hunt. Good times!!








We had a wonderful weekend. Thanks mom and dad for everything that you helped us with last week! Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

They look soooo cute!
I bet they had a blast with the egg hunt. I didn´t understand the chick hatching though. Explain it to me again. How do you do it?

We decorated eggs the night before and then we put the egg on the air vent (so the heat would keep it warm) and then in the morning there was a chick in the place where the egg was the night before. They really thought it was the coolest. They sleep with the chicks every night.
