Easter Fun......

Well Easter was very different this year! Here in Costa Rica they don't celebrate Easter the same. You won't find any baskets or candy or dye for the eggs. They close everything down on Good Friday but that is about it. Cooper was so excited to finally get to use the dye that Nana and Papaw sent him.
Isn't the green one looking pretty? He was so good and patient. He actually wanted them to stay in there for a while. I was very surprised.
This one was one of his favorites! He is such a cutie pie!
Then Sunday for lunch a few couples and us got together and had like a potluck to make it feel a little bit more like home. Knowing we always ate with family on Easter. Also, Lilian's grandparents came to visit and brought some plastic eggs so the kids were able to have an Easter egg hunt. Cooper was so excited and yes that is a purse he is holding. 
Avery loved getting to hold as many eggs as possible.
This is one of the only pictures I could get with her looking at me. Too bad she can't also smile!
Hey look, we both found two eggs each.
Here are the three amigas on the street. Avery, Lilian and Hannah! 
I know it is a little blurry, but hey she is smiling in it.
Alright, remember the girls only having two eggs a piece? Well here is the winner of the egg hunt!!!!!! Cooper really got into it and understand more this year than ever expected. He sure missed all his cousins and uncles to race him to find all the eggs.
Thank you Nana for the easter egg dye and for our cute outfits. We will have to put them back on again for some pictures together though. Now that Avery can walk she sure doesn't stop much for any pictures. She is constantly on the move. But we will try it again!
Hope everyone had a great Easter!

I just looked at the blog today. I loved Avery in her little dress and bow. I wish she and Mei Ling could be together to have their picture made in their matching dresses. Cooper looked handsome too in his outfit. Thanks for letting them wear them for the blog pictures. That was special. We missed all of you this year. It's like a big hole in our family. Check out our Easter pictures on facebook.Love you! Nana
