Easter and Kason's Baptism!

We had a busy Easter weekend this year!  Kason got baptized on Easter Sunday, so the whole family was in town!  We started the weekend with a Royals game on Saturday, then church and the baptism on Sunday morning, then brunch at a restaurant, followed by an Easter egg hunt at Nana and Papa's house!  AND, to top it all off, I enlisted the help of the Colwell (and Hill) boys to transport and assemble a new (to us) swing set for Kinsley over the weekend!  What a fun and busy weekend!  Here are the (many!) pics!  :)
Grandpa and his grandkids all ready for the Royals game!
Gram-Gram and Kason at the game!  Kason was great the whole game!  Slept a bunch, ate a bottle, and just hung out!
Auntie Kristy!
Uncle J and Benny Boo
Kinsley and Avery with their new Royals gear that J bought them!  The Royals played the Twins, so Uncle Matt made sure Avery wore her Twins shirt, but I think she liked her Royals hand better!  :)  J was so excited when Kinsley chose the Royals bat, as that was what he wanted!  :)  By the time they got back to the seats, I think Kins was a little worn out here from their adventure to go and buy them though!  :)
Go Royals!
The fam after the game.  The Royals beat the Twins (sorry Uncle Matt), and we all had a blast!
Kinsley caught a ride out to the car!
Grandpa brought some Easter egg kits, so that night, we dyed Easter eggs!  This was Kinsley's first time, and she LOVED it!
Kason and Uncle Trevor watching the action
Pointing to her favorite egg (purple of course!)
So excited about her beautiful eggs!
Easter morning!  The Easter bunny (and Gram-Gram and Aunt Ange) brought Kinsley all kinds of good stuff!
Checking out a chocolate bunny
SCORE!  More chocolate!
Frozen books!!!
Kason was super excited about his teething toys!  :)
The Easter bunny also brought window stickers!
Our pretty girl all ready for church!
The star of the show before his baptism!
We had our minister growing up, Harry, baptize Kason for us.  He also baptized Kinsley 2 years ago also on Easter weekend!  
Happy baptism to our sweet boy!
Auntie Kristy and Uncle Matt were sweet enough to agree to be Kason's godparents!
The Colwell siblings and spouses!
Nana and Papa with the kiddos at Nick and Jakes for brunch!
The whole gang!  Kurt and Olga also joined us for the baptism and brunch!
Aunt T!
Cousins!  Basically impossible to get them all looking and smiling!  :)
One more attempt!  :)
Papa and his grandkids!
Ready for the Easter egg hunt!
Nana got this delicious cake for Kason!  Too bad he can't have any!  :)
Kinsley enjoyed it though!
And to top the whole weekend off, Kinsley's new swing set!!!  A HUGE thanks to Grandpa, Uncle Trevor and Jordan for making this happen over the weekend!  They managed to get it disassembled (we bought it from some friends), moved, and re-assembled before the weekend was over!  We would have never been able to do this without you guys!  Thanks soooooo much!!
A quick kiss from Dada...
...and she's off!  :)

And another kiss  :)

Kinsley absolutely LOVES her new swingset!  It's all she ever wants to do!  I am now not sure how we ever lived without one!  :)  A big thanks to our good friends the Riddles for giving us first dibs on it!!
