End of Easter, back to school party...

Today we had a little tea party to celebrate the end of Easter and back to school.
We invited some friends but they couldn't make it, so we had a party with ourselves :)
 Easter crackers...
 Easter jokes...
I go back to work tomorrow and the kids go back to school.
We had the best weekend... beach, chocolate, friends and family :)

Easter Hunt 2011...

On Easter Sunday, Orsen took the kids fishing, while I set up the Easter hunt.
When they came home they found their Easter baskets at the front door, with a note and a chewed up carrot.  There was ten clues which lead them to ten presents.
 The final clue was 'nesting'... Miss 6 screamed 'my nest' {from the Easter photo shoot}... she was correct.  While we were Easter hunting down the back, Orsen was busy placing the Easter eggs in her nest.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.
How did you celebrate Easter?
After our Easter hunt, we had lunch at my sister-in-laws.  The food was amazing... it felt like Christmas!
The kids had a swim with the cousins.  Another Easter egg hunt.  Then spent the night making up dances and put on a concert for the adults.  The night came to an end when Master 9 vomited :(

Today is ANZAC Day.
This is my mum's father, my Poppy Locke.
My 93 year old poppy fought in the second world war near Italy and was captured as a P.O.W and then he escaped and hid with an Italian family.  There's been a book written about him... Fighting with the enemy New Zealand P.O.W's and the Italian resistance, by Susan Jacobs.

 These two photos were stollen {borrowed} from my brother's facebook page.
ANZAC Day... Lest we forget.

Easter weekend..... Friday and Saturday....

This afternoon we went for a long walk along the beach. 
The weather has been amazing this weekend... it normally rains and starts to get cold around Easter.
The kiddies with Lulu.
 Yesterday we went to the beach for a early morning walk.
 I love this cloud....
 Orsen did some fishing... while the kids had a swim.
 She's so cute!
I'm exhausted!  All this fresh sea air has made me very tired.
I've just been making all the clues for the Easter hunt tomorrow... can't wait!

How do you celebrate Easter?  Do you have any family Easter traditions?

Hope you're having a wonderful Easter.

Last call out for photos of your hair clips.  I'd love to show everyone your craftiness.
I'll be putting together a 'you've been featured' post next week.
Love Nikki xx
