Our Easter Weekend!

We had a wonderful and busy Easter weekend. There was lots going on...lots of visiters... and lots of pictures (of the few activities I captured on film). Anyways, it all started on Friday, with the traditional easter egg coloring. Abby was looking forward to this the most. I had bought a kit the week before and she wanted to color the eggs ever since. She was excited to start, and took the egg decorating very seriously. Then Uncle Jim, Emery and Halle (Mark's brother and two nieces) came to town! Sadly this is one of the activities that will be remembered only in memory. They arrived late Friday night so for us the party began early Saturday morning. Abby hung out at Mike and Rebecca's (Another one of Mark's brothers) house ALL day with her cousins. They died eggs (again), made cinnamon rolls, and went bowling. All while listening to as much of Conference as possible. Abby enjoyed playing with her cousins, and we cannot wait to see them again in June! Easter morning arrived and the girls enjoyed an easter egg hunt.... IN OUR FRONT ROOM, since there was about four inches of snow on the ground outside....(DON"T EVEN GET ME STARTED!!!) Anyways, the snow has since melted and we are just waiting on warmer temperatures now! The girls were excited about their baskets and especially the candy inside the eggs.
Hannah eyeing her basket!
Hannah can't quite figure out what to do with this thing.
Abby and her Easter basket full of garden tools. Hopefully we can put them to use sooner than later.
Hannah spotted these eggs before Abby did.
The Easter bunny had to be creative on hiding the eggs. He ran out of places very quickly in our small front room.
Hannah knows what's good for her! Too bad she won't actually eat it, or anything for that matter.

We then enjoyed the rest of conference and a fabulous Easter dinner with Mike and Rebecca and their friends, (Jim and the girls left that morning). Good times!!! Hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend!
