    The kids woke Tara & I up around 8:00am this morning, 
which shows some restraint on their part I suppose. I think that they were up 
earlier checking out their baskets and watching TV, but they didn't get anything 
out which I know had to be killing them. After we all managed to make it to the 
living room the kids emptied out their baskets, devouring a ton of candy in the 
process. With the baskets empty and the eggs found, we moved out to the kitchen 
to make breakfast (homemade waffles, pancakes, bacon, and sausage). As you can 
see from the pictures, everybody enjoyed themselves greatly!

			Me movie, and her very own Pokémon Platinum game (no more fighting 
			to borrow one of Tyler's), not to mention her fair share of candy as 
			well.

    After we recovered from eating our breakfast, 
we got ourselves cleaned up to head over to Grandpa Jerry & Grandma Gail's house 
for dinner and an egg hunt. The egg hunt occurred after dinner with the big kids 
looking all over the back yard and the little ones searching in the front yard.

			Drew found an egg in the middle of this bush, but had quite a 
			difficult time getting to it.

			Drew also found an egg in outside the window. Good thing he was 
			just tall enough to reach it!

			Tyler was walking around looking for more eggs but was having a 
			hard time finding them at this point.

			Sam found an egg sitting on the deck, but was already looking
