2011 Easter!

This year we went to my parents office on Gilbert Road near University in Mesa.  We hid somewhere around 150-200 Easter eggs filled with candy and prizes for the kids to find.  My mom put on a ham and there was potatoes, corn, watermelon, and other delicious things to eat.  The roses bushes were blooming like crazy so I cut another bunch of roses to take home.  They are so fragrant and beautiful!  It was wonderful to be with so many of my family to celebrate one of my favorite holidays.  I took some pictures of the Easter egg hunt.  I didn't get any of Abby though because she was chowing down on some yummy food and hanging out with her Grandma, Aunts and Uncles. 












After we left the office, Christian, the kids, and I went to Bestamor's and Bestafar's house. She had prepared some more deliously yummy food. Lamb, potatoes, asparagus, her home-made rolls that I love so much. And she made one of the best desserts ever, pound cake, berries, and cream. The kids had another egg hunt in their backyard and got $3.00 each! My mother-in-law has so many beautiful flowers growing in her yard as well. I love spring time and it made for a neat Easter Sunday.

Rabbits for Easter

Christian and I were driving away from my mom and dad's house and the neighbor had a sign out for baby bunnies.  We stopped to look at the babies and they were adorable.  We ended up buying two and used Easter as an excuse to do it.  What were we thinking??  I have no idea, sometimes we just leave our brains at home.  Christian built a hutch for them lickity split though and did a fantastic job.  So meet Ginger and Dillweed aka "Dilly".

Easter Pics from Saturday














































Here everyone! I was just snapping pictures and trying to stay out of the way.

2009 Easter Egg Hunt

Our Easter Egg hunt was a success on Saturday even though it rained a lot. Amy Hadley and I were determined to not get rained out. Thanks to Amy, we were able to secure the Alma 11th ward building. A lot of friends and family showed up and everyone brought eggs to hide and share. After we utilized all the good hiding spots in the primary room we ended up just putting the rest of our eggs all over the floor for the little one's to pick up.


We had chocolate covered strawberries, capri-suns, pizza, and bread sticks to munch on while the eggs were being hidden. First we let in the kids 3 and under to look for eggs for the first 2-3 minutes by themselves.




Then we let in the older kids. The egg hunt lasted only a few short minutes after that. Those kids are pretty effecient egg hunters...



Thanks everyone for coming! That was really fun. I'll see about doing something similar next year. Hopefully we won't get rained out again.
