Annual Crews Eggstravaganza

We are one blessed "crew" to have our Nana. Oh how she loves each and every one of her kids and grandkids. There is nothing she wouldn't do for us - including taking a whole day to spend with her grandkids, doing crafts, playing games, baking and just loving on each one.  We have quite the brood now, 6 girls and 1 boy (poor Bobby) ranging in age from 4 - 14. 

It was time again for our Annual Crews Eggstravaganza.  Let the pictures begin!

Nana with all her grandkids
(Gabriela, Samantha, Maggie, Nana, Bobby, Maya, Cierra & Isabela)

This was some serious egg-dying



 Now for the egg hunt out back

 not the best picture, but you get what you get with this many kiddos

Thanks, Nana, for making this year special. We love you!

Easter Egg Hunt

Maggie and I picked up Maya & Isabela and headed out to TGR Exotics for their Easter Egg Hunt. We love this place. If you haven't been there, you really must go.  We normally go every year around Halloween for their pumpkin patch but this year, they had their first Easter egg hunt....and best part, it was FREE. Gotta love FREE!  We met up with our buddies and enjoyed a BEAUTIFUL day on the property...with very few people there (even better!)  I think they were expecting more people, because the kids came back with TONS of eggs.  They had so much fun, though, and there was plenty to go around.

Maya & Maggie waiting patiently for Momma J to hurry up and get here :)

Maggie can't help but get in this pony's face

Isabela & Maggie showing some love

 Absolutely hilarious! Look at Isabela....she really thought those baby camels were coming to get her!
 Again, no fear...of course, this was taken right before the camel nipped her ear!
 Chasing llamas
 Most of our crew....what a bunch!
 Maggie & Maya with the baby llama
 Isabela & Maya with the Easter Bunny. Maggie would have nothing to do with him.
 Adrian was the only brave soul from the H family
 She adores this cat
 Sweet baby kangaroo.  The kids just loved her!
 Maya & Maggie playing with the piglets (yes, very large baby pigs!)
 On your mark....get set.....go!



 She came back with quite the loot...including 3 coupons for free entrance on zoo days - yay Maggie!
 Now it was the older girls' turn...
 Maya
 Isabela
 Are you kidding me?!  Now, that's what I call an Easter Egg hunt!

Another wonderful adventure full of great memories. Love our time with our sweet cousins and friends.

Over the county and to the Woods....

to Nana's house we went....it's the annual Christmas Craft day with Nana (oh yes, we do this every year).  My mom just loves getting all the kids around the table and in the kitchen and making a huge mess, which means making lots of memories.  I am so thankful for a mom that just adores her grandchildren and longs to spend as much as time with them as she can.

Cookie cutting....




 Outside playing...


 Momma - NO MORE PICTURES! :)
 2nd round of cookie cutting....

 Oh the hats came out...
 For the annual crazy hat picture...




 This is what it's really like with 7 cousins...
 Cookie decorating

 Ornament making

 Isabela is so proud at her ornament
 Nana in all her glory!

 Sweet cousins



 And of course, we can't have a day of play without some rope


 Oh no worries - she figured it out
