We all went down to the lakehouse for Easter, and had a blast, eventhough it was too cold to go out on the water this year! Everyone was able to make it in town - Ash surprised us all with a knock on the door Sunday morning! OK...well I knew about her coming in town, but I kept it a secret! Shaelyn & Tyler helped Papaw make homemade donuts for breakfast on Saturday morning...and they did a WONDERFUL job!!
Shae, Ceili and Ty always have a blast together, and this weekend was no exception! All three of them were all smiles, all weekend!! Ceili is Shae's shadow & loved to sit with her on the couch in the den and watch movies. Ceili loves playing with Ty's cars and lincoln logs, and he is so good to her and lets her play with him!
I don't think Ty saw me take this picture...he was watching Finding Nemo and looked way too cute sitting there with his his bear tucked up under his chin...look at those eyes!! I made Keira and Carter both blankets, and I finally gave Carter his this weekend...so of course, I had to take a picture of him using it!! 
Eventhough it was cold outside, the "big" kids braved the weather to walk around the property and go down by the lake. Shae and Ty had never been to the lakehouse before, so they were really excited to go outside and down to the water...and throw some rocks in the water (small rocks, of course!)!!
Here are the 3 "big" kids up at the top of the drive, with the side of the house behind them...and of course, Ceili was still trying to pick up rocks to throw into the water!
Ceili LOVES, and I mean LOVES the Easter Bunny!! She just can't get enough of him! My parents had this bunny on their front porch and brought it down to the lake because she LOVES it so much!! She is so funny - she would just go sit next to it like it was her best friend!!
We went to church at St. Agnes in Brown County on Easter morning...all of the little ones did GREAT during mass. Well...that is, if you don't count Keira's almost-blowout, Carter's "neighing" of a cry or Ceili's loud "Touchdown" she screamed out! Eventually, all of the little ones (including Ty) were asleep and did GREAT!!
Can you believe that ALL of those baskets are for just 5 kids??? Our kids aren't spoiled at all, I promise!!
To go along with the blankets I made the babies, I made them "taggies" to play with/chew on. Ceili has one of these and LOVES it!! I was pretty proud of them, and the babies seemed to like them right away. Well, Keira seemed to like it right away, as she began chewing on the tags as soon as she got her hands around it!! And Carter just sat there with it, but he didn't cry...so I took that as him liking it!
Ceili loves her chapstick...and I think this was her favorite thing from the Easter Bunny this year!! The picture on the right here is to show everyone the face I get when I try to tell Ceili to look at me or to smile. I am always hearing that Ceili is the "perfect" model...and while I do think she is, it's not as easy as one would think to get a good picture of her beautiful smile! Her Papaw taught her this silly face and this is what I get EVERY time I ask her to look at me. Thanks Papaw!!!
And the picture on the right above and the one below are the smiles I always strive to get...but they have to be totally on "her" time and have to be 100% real!! I love those smiles though...and I have to admit, her silly face is quite cute too and I love having pictures of that too because that IS my Ceili!!

When you talk to Ceili about the Easter Bunny, she will tell you he gives her suckers because that is what the one at the mall does. She was extremely thrilled to find suckers in her basket from her Auntie Nawna & Uncle Don...thanks for making her day!!
Keira is such a happy baby and had fun laughing at her silly Auntie A! Stay tuned for more pics of this beautiful baby girl...we took her 3 month pictures while we were at the lake!!
The Easter Bunny hid eggs in the basement and the kids were so excited when Nana happened to find them when she went down there!! They each found so many eggs...and each one got a prize egg! Ceili decided it was easier to leave her basket in the center of the room and carry 5-6 eggs at a time back to it...what a smart cookie!! She also found the prize egg that the Easter Bunny always hid at our house growing up...and she was excited to find money when she opened it up!!
