This Easter, we surprised our boys with baby chicks! This was something that I remember fondly from my childhood. I don't know how often my parents got us chicks for Easter, but those Easters definitely stick out in my memory. :)
Easter baskets are all ready to go...
Time to wake the sleepy boys so we can enjoy a quick egg hunt before church!
Barely awake...
...but awake enough to smile at the tiny chicks! :)
We got 6 chicks...which brings our total to 15. We lost 3 to raccoons in the fall & we have 3 that turned 2 this year & will slow down on their egg production. So 6 seemed like a good number to increase the number of eggs we'll be getting!

Zooming by!
So fun!
At church, all the cousins & second cousins lined up for a photo.
Ronan, Finley, Cedar, Cohen, Griffin, Tyler, Tate, Summer, Sadie & Kara
We had to convince Finley to cooperate for an outside photo shoot.
That's a little better.
I had straightened my hair & Cedar didn't approve. He asked me to "make it bigger." :P
The Henrys
Brian, Outi, Kevin, Katrina, Kenton, Cedar & Finley
We may have bribed the two youngest ones with a treat if they smiled. Cedar was quick to oblige! :)

4 cousins up in a tree, in their nice Easter clothes...yikes. :\
A few more photos.
The girls.
The guys.
Kenton had to video the 2nd service, so the boys & I went to Starbucks for a little coffee date while we waited for him to be done.
Then we were off to the Henry's home for a ham dinner...with mimosas! :)
I helped prepare a salad. Outi made everything else! What a treat!
So lucky to have a sunny day!
We watched a squirrel getting into the bird food.
Nice work, squirrel.
The original Henry 4! ;)
Finley enjoyed the ham!
Cedar & Mummi. I'm sure Cedar enjoyed the rolls! ;)
Relaxing after dinner with their games...
