Easter 2012

We had a great Easter this year.  We took Addie to the city egg hunt and it was quite the experience.  Her age group allowed for parents to help and let's just say that all the eggs were gone in three seconds flat.  We helped Addie get a couple in her basket and the poor kids who were going at it alone came up totally empty-handed, it was a bit ridiculous.  I think the kids should just be able to do it themselves and pick up a couple eggs each.  I mean when you see like a 3 month old sleeping in their car seat with a basket full of eggs, you have to wonder why?  Addie was so excited to carry her basket and she even had two prize tickets that she got to redeem for some toys.


Showing off her "prizes" which she still says if you ask her what they are!

On Easter Sunday we had early church and I didn't want to be late, but we did a quick egg hunt, which was basically just a trail starting in her room and ending at her gifts.  I loved hearing her wake up yelling "eggs, eggs" she couldn't wait to put them in her basket.
 She was so excited about her new bath blocks and purple lawn chair



Getting pictures before church was a big fail.  This is the best I could get of Addie, who wore the same dress she wore on Easter last year!  I on the other hand have about one black skirt I can still squeeze into and didn't look springy enough for an Easter picture.  
I loved everything about church.  Addie did great during sacrament and allowed me to actually hear the beautiful talks on the Savior and it was a big week because she went into nursery with no tears and did great the whole time...wahoo!  
We had Easter dinner at the Scott's where Addie had yet another egg hunt, she is a pro!



We were even able to stop off at my parents house on the way home and participate in a fourth Easter egg hunt of the weekend, I said Addie was a natural now!  I am so grateful to have been able to spend such a beautiful day with both of our families and to focus on the love of our Savior.
