Easter Weekend

This year Easter started out with a Pizza and Beer night at the James' house Saturday night followed by sunrise service at church and then a drive to Grandma and Grandpa Rankin's in Earlville. It was a busy two days with a lot of fun!
I have a lot of pics to share!

After our 4 hour drive to Aunt Karen's, Amelia was ready to get out of the car. However, we were all shocked that she spent the first 5-7 minutes hugging Ella, and she would not let go! She would not hug anyone else and kept patting Ella's behind while she hugged her!

We could not stop laughing!!



Finally she let Emma hold her!


Uncle Chris even took her for a ride and she really like it! Maybe we do need a 4-wheeler!!
She wanted to get back on.




But Emma and Anna would not give up their turn!!
I wouldn't either.



No 4-wheel ride at the James' would be complete without a breakdown!!
Karen and I wouldn't help them!





Henry and Sophia were loving the car!
They would climb into it through any opening.




Henry loves to climb!
I think he attempted climbing on almost everything down there!





Sophia loved playing in the car but got a little ticked when Henry tried to join in with the fun!


Kyle being a Kyle!


He is so stinkin' cute!!


All three of them loved the rocking horse!!
All three of them loved the car too!


Anna!

Amelia and Ella in their Easter dresses from Great Grandma Budke!

Amelia's first Easter Egg hunt!
She did pretty well!

















Watching Toy Story with Anna and Grandpa Rankin.




That one is a nail biter for sure!
