Our Easter Celebrations...
Each have been wonderful, memorable and incredibly special!

Here's a little a bit loooong trip down memory lane of the wonderful Easter's we have spent as a family of 2, then 3, then complete as a family of 4!

Easter 2008
Thank you Nana & Papa!
(side note: I was so excited when I found the exact bunny, in pink for Maggie ~ for Easter 2011) :p
Easter 2009
... YES... I realize that Easter 2009 is somehow missing (I know we enjoyed a wonderful Easter, I just can't seem to find the photos from Easter 2009. I'm sure I took some, maybe not???)
Maggie was still in Mama's belly, and Jack was doing super cute things like this...
Trying on Daddy's ties... you know, to plan for his next business meeting...
What a CUTIE!
Time with Mommy & Daddy before little sister arrived!
(if I do happen to come across Easter 2009 photos, I will be sure add them to next years Easter post!)

Maggie still in Mama's belly... we all were patiently excitedly waiting!

Easter 2010
Note: not much different in size between Jackson and Maggie at each of their 1st Easter Celebrations, yet their ages are quite different!
Easter 2011
Not Easter quite yet... but, Uncle Bruce and Aunt Karin are HERE!
We were thrilled when the moved so much closer to us!
We had fun visiting with them, just a week or so before Easter (2011)
And, the verdict is... she LOVES her new Ducky!
(this was actually a pre-get together with Uncle Bruce and Aunt Karin right after they moved to
Camas, WA... they were so gracious in giving Jack and Maggie two of their (still to this day!) favorite "guys" (ie. stuffed animals... and yes, Maggie calls her's "guys" too! :p)
Easter 2011....
The Hunt (ie. The Real Deal)..
(Easter Bunny has improved some... at least he remembered actual baskets! And, he/she did hide eggs everywhere! But... all in the playroom! Good thing, the Munchkins had no idea that "normal" egg hunts are usually held outdoors!)
Maggie wasn't quite as quick at the egg hunting as her Big Brother... she liked to simply find an egg, check out what was inside... taste test if needed... head back to her original basket, do some light reading... then proceed with the hunt.
You guess who found the most eggs! :)
Mr. Prince was too busy "checking" each of the eggs... you know, to make sure there weren't any candies that were too small for Maggie (hello... choking hazard!). :p
Mommy & Daddy and our Maggie!
Loves for the Princess!
Daddy's Princess!
(this may be one of my all time favorite photos! Both smiles are absolutely priceless! LOVE!!!)
Easter 2012
... and FINALLY ... if you've made it all the way to this YEAR... here we are! Easter 2012This year Easter, was spent at Brian's Parent's Home. It was the first time hosting a Holiday Celebration in their new home! The day was gorgeous... absolutely perfect for reflection on why each and every one of us is here...
Not to mention, the sunshine helped out for a great Easter egg hunt! Both Jack & Maggie were so excited to hunt down all the eggs that the Easter Bunny snuck over to Nana & Papa's house in the middle of the night. You know, because that Easter Bunny is improving each and every year... and he/she knew the Weeks' Munchkins would be celebrating Easter at their Nana & Papa's (although, he (Easter Bunny) was kind enough to make a very quick trip to OUR house, "Easter Eve", and leave J and M two eggs each. Just so they wouldn't get worried he had forgotten about them.
Brian and Brooke
(amazing to think we'll soon be celebrating being married for 5 wonderful years!)
uh oh... I have a feeling more of this "pose" from Jackson is to come... (ie. me trying to force him into a family picture, and him trying to squirm away...). Little Bugger!
BIG Improvement from Easter 2010...
(or Easter 2009, in which the Easter Bunny may or may not have forgotten to make a stop at The Weeks' Home... one will never know, as there doesn't seem to be much documentation... we're thinking that may be a good thing)...
The Easter Bunny did remember us at Nana and Papas!!!!
How many tries does it take to get a picture of the two of them...
in which they are at least both looking at me?
#1
#2
#3 (and we're almost there, 1 for 2...)
#4 (and I possibly missed my chance with Maggie altogether now...)
#5 at least they're both looking at me...
#6 and we're almost there... almost...
#7 we got it! (not super natural smiles, but they definitely tried very hard, and were so very patient).
#8 YAY!!! Both looking sweet with their cute smiles (even if Magg's legs are up... it's ok!)
Lots of Bubbles were blown, drawings with Chalk made, and Easter eggs hunted! It was a GREAT time!
