eAsTer 2011

What a fun Easter it was with our new baby! We didn't think he would be here
for Easter so it made it extra special that he was!
We dyed Easter Eggs and it was fun making our family of eggs!
One of my favorite parts of Easter this year was coming home from running an errand and Micah had decorated our front window all by himself (lower part)... He cut out of construction paper an Easter Bunny, a Basket and Easter Grass... and found some blue tape and had it all hung up in the window before I arrived home! What a cute kid! He was telling me all about how he thought it all out, and how he figured out how to cut it all! Darling!! I love that kid! Halie contributed by bringing home art from preschool in which we immediately hung it up in the window! Love this age!

The Easter Bunny found us!
The kids were excited to see their gifts!
Brock was thrilled... he is just shy about it ... ha ha!
The Easter Bunny got the kids names engraved on their scriptures and
Brock got his very first set!

Unfortunetly he wet through his jams, and had to be changed right
after pictures with the baskets....
And he looked so dang cute we had to take a few pictures of him! He is 8 days old!
Look at those cute little feet!
So after he changed it was time to get the kids in their Easter Best for church.... I unfortunately had to stay home, and the kids missed sacrament since Jeff is in the bishopric and was on the stand...
But Jeff met me in the parking lot before Primary and the kids got to stay for the last 2 hours! Micah is learning so much at church ... it is fun to hear the stories he tries and retells when he gets home!
Brock.... our little future missionary! Ready to go with his first set of scriptures!
Later after church we made deviled eggs... the kids were sad to crack the shells off the eggs... so we took a few pics with them and their eggs!
And then... after dinner... Halie felt the urge to take Brock for a little stroll around the house...
And I don't think I will get use to it, or not be nervous...

But she does do a pretty good job so I try to be patient while she is "loving" her brother/baby!

Happy Easter Halie! I should have put him in her basket!
And later that afternoon... we made Easter Treats... and if you lived close by you would have gotten a plate that looked like this!

YUM YUM!

Happy Easter!

Cute kids! Your Easter Bunny needs to come to our house. Hahahaha...I still can't believe how much Brock looks like Micah did as a baby. I remember visiting you guys after Micah was born. We need to come visit soon before that baby gets too big. Congratulations again on your new addition.
