This is my new favorite photo. We took the kids to cousin Avery's soccer game and got this cute shot of Hayden, Payson, Addison, Avery and Madison looking back at the camera. Love it!
After the game we loaded up all five kids in the grandparents' car to take them back to their house. What a treat for us big kids! Keith and I enjoyed a matinee that afternoon and dinner that evening... and even fit in a workout in between! Back at Camp Cooper the kids dyed Easter eggs, had an egg and spoon race, fed a horse and did all sorts of fun things!
The next day after church we met up at the great-grandparent's house for Easter Sunday. Madison threw quite a fit soon after we arrived. She stripped down to her bloomers, pushed over a stool and then spent some alone time pulling herself together outside. We made several attempts to bring her back inside but she would yell at us to go back in until eventually she was ready to join the rest of us. I must say she was pretty cute standing out there quietly and all alone trying to work through her bad attitude.
Soon after lunch the egg hunt was on! Hayden trotted down the front steps with her new bunny rabbit in her hand ready to find sugary food!
Madison spotted a blue egg in the large flower pot.
Hayden was munching on a Peep when I caught her in the act of (drum roll, please)... SHARING! She not only offered Madison a bite of her Peep but she gave her the whole thing! (I guess even toddlers know that Peeps taste terrible!)
Is this the perfect Easter egg hunting grass or what? Grandad had groomed the most beautiful green grass and must have had the genius idea to let it grow a little extra for Easter. The eggs nestled perfectly between the blades just enough to cause four toddlers to have to search a little bit harder!
Madison tenderly admiring her pink hippo egg.
By now it was way past naptime but we still somehow managed to get a decent shot of all of the kids together.
And what better way to come down off of a sugar high than to eat more sugar?

Payson looks so much like Keith and I think Hay looks like both of you equally and Maddie looks like you!!! They are so adorable Coop!
These are adorable! And might I say...those cupcakes look amazing. Hope you're all doing well. We think about you a lot and love checking in to see how the kiddos are doing.
