Easter and Brig Day.

Easter AND Brig's birthday all in one! Carol made some pretty cool cakes, we divvied up the rest of the meal (Easter food just happens to be Brig's favorites), and put all the extensions into McK's dining room table. Full house, good times.

Brig and Mike just looking at their Blackberrys.
Brig called this the sea of peas. Ham, Mashed Potatoes, Rolls, Fruit Salad, and all organic green salad made for a good lunch.
There were 24 people there so we got our very own plastic cup. I liked the cups in front of these random old photos Nate bought off ebay (they were taken in Windsor 1,000 years ago or something.
Brig loves Ham.
Polka-dot Maddie.
This is a little enertia car that the Lyalls gave Max. The kids have started wearing Max's ski helmet with it...sensible children. Although Anders has got it on wrong.

"You go dad" is what he said.
The little girls having their cake. They liked showing each other how it looked I guess. We had a little easter egg hunt for the kids. This egg fits in quite well with the look, could be a marble egg.

Easter egg frenzy.
Uncle Mike giving the cousins a run for the money with the pancake flop onto the pillows. They were lining up for turns.
Then Austyn put on a puppet show for us. You can see her peeking through the blanket there. All I remember at one point was one of the characters said, "I can speak some spanish. Asta Diego" and then at the end when she came out Wyatt said, "they were all the same person" with some real disappointment. It went on for a good 8 minutes or so and we gave her a big applause (out of a bit of relief because she was just having random conversations under a blanket ) which she liked so she came back with another show and she called it, "New friend got meat"...uh yeah, thats what we all thought but turns out she meant "meeting" It was sounding a bit gangster/ Sopranos there for a minute. Then we took turns doing some dancing...Anders sure can move his hips, the end.
And since I haven't posted any pix of us in while...Happy Easter.

These are so great, you are so great to take so many pictures! And you gave such a great sum up of the day. It was pretty nice.

It was a pretty fun afternoon since we split up the responsibilities, so we could just relax. Carols' cakes were pretty cool too! Even though we live in the same small town we don't often get everyone and all the kids together in one place (except church every week) so its always fun to see the cousins with each other!
