Easter 2010

The Easter festivities began on Saturday with the coloring of the eggs.


Even Annalise got involved










Bryce loved seeing the eggs go into the dye, but had a tough time being patient while they were in there. He just didn't get the whole "need to wait" thing!


Then came Easter morning with the baskets.




Annalise wasn't so sure about this big pink thing I put in front of her, but she quickly started digging into it.








and before long everything was on the floor! Happy first Easter baby girl!






Since our yard was still covered with irrigation water, the Easter bunny left the eggs hidden around the house.






This year we were disappointed to find out that without cable we were not able to watch conference on television. John rigged up the computer so we were at least able to listen to it while working on renewing our 72 hour kits. Conference was great! It was nice to talk with the kids about the true meaning of Easter and to be able to feel the spirit in our home.
After the conference sessions, we had our yummy Easter ham dinner. I think it was the first decent food my kids ate all day. They were pretty wound up by bedtime.

It was a nice day spent together as a family, but it is holidays like this that make me wish we lived closer to our extended families!

Wow! Annalise looks so grown up. Thanks for posting pictures of her.

Hope the sleep study was helpful. You are always in our prayers.

I wish the WB understood how many people were disappointed this year. I'm sure my kids ate more crap over the past 3 days than anything else. I just try not to think about it!
