Easter Happenings

Ok so I finally have some time to blog this week. Easter was wonderful and the kids all got tons of candy and the Easter bunny brought them all a gift as well. I took the kids to an Egg hunt that some of the sisters in our ward put on Friday and the kids had a great time finding eggs, so that was fun, then we decided to color eggs on Saturday and it was fun up until Alex knocked over the cup of blue dye and well lets just say that I really hate having white carpeting in our dining area. Luckily we have a bissell wet vac, carpet cleaner and with some quick work by Eric, you can't even tell there was a spill unless you are right down next to the spot. Haley wasn't very happy about not being able to color any more eggs blue, but we got 3 out of 24 so it wasn't too bad. Then Easter Sunday the kids were up well before us and had already found their baskets, but it was still fun watching them play with their new toys that the Easter bunny brought. Especially Max, he got a little einsteins cow that hangs from his carrier, it has a rattle tummy crinkly arms and legs, and a pull string that makes it vibrate. He just stared at it and talked to it and smiled forever, and then after several attempts to grab at it, he finally got hold and made it vibrate. Anyway I really should get it on film some time, it's so cute watching him play with it. Haley got a Silvermist doll to go with her Tinkerbell playset that she got for Christmas, and Alex got two new Star Wars figures, R2 and Luke Skywalker, since he has been really into Star Wars lately. I forgot to mention that on Saturday while I was looking for extra egg dippers to color the eggs, I found our old camera and realized it still had a bunch of pictures on it that needed to be taken. So most of our egg decorating pictures aren't digital, but I guess we just completely forgot about finishing that roll of film, when we got our digital camera. Anyway that will be fun to get developed and see what was on there. Then Sunday for church the kids got all dressed up in their new Easter clothes and we got pictures afterwards at Eric's parents house before we had our Easter Ham dinner there. Eric's parents and his Aunt Gloria got the kids some nice treats too and the kids had fun finding their special eggs and bunny bubbles before dinner. We also got to see the movie Bedtime Stories which I thought was really cute and really funny. So I have to say that Easter was a big success and here are some of the pictures we took Sunday at Eric's parents.

Haley in her new Easter dress, she looked like a princess so pretty in pink.

Here is the whole family, Alex wasn't in the best of moods, but still a cute picture.

Here is one of all the guys, Alex looked super cute in his new suit. It was his first suit with jacket and all, he looked so grown up. And of course Max already in 3-6 month size clothes he is such a big boy and super cute.
