Easter, a Little Late

Better late than never I say.

We have an annual Easter egg hunt put on by one of my good friends and the weather was perfect. In years previous we have worn heavy coats and gloves. It was nice to be more concerned about a sunburn and melted chocolate this year.
I told Julia that she needed to run and find as many eggs as she possibly could. She took that to heart and I was amazed at how many eggs she came back with. I didn't even have to be one of those moms who go and push the other little kids aside to make sure that my kids get their fair share. Even little Audrey came out with a few eggs, though every time she bent over to pick an egg up the contents of her basket would spill each time.
To top off an already very successful Easter egg hunt someone had brought a bunny and was kind enough to allow my kids to terrorize it a bit. Julia was brave and even held it. Audrey just made random swipes and grabs at the poor thing. She was scared of it but would have bursts of courage. It really made the event even more special.

I love this picture of the kids getting ready to run. Julia is holding Audrey's hand and it was a sweet moment.

Me and my girls.

Now moving on to the actual Easter...

We made our way over to Cincinnatti to visit those favorite people of ours (the Gaileys of course) and we had such a great time.

They had a little birthday celebration for Bryan and Dave got Bryan a present from his conference in D.C.

And Bryan celebrated in true Bryan fashion. I wonder how many crazy pictures of him I can come up with. too many to count I assure you.

More pictures from the birthday celebration.

The kids dyed Easter eggs while the men were at Priesthood Session. Have I ever mentioned that when we were growing up we would each individually get a dozen eggs to dye. We are egg lovers. Even though we were at the Gailey's I hard boiled a dozen and a half eggs and not a one went wasted.

Easter mornig the kid waited in great anticipation at the top of the stairs to go and hunt for their baskets and eggs.

The Gailey's have a beautiful backyard perfect for the bunny to do it's work and they had so much fun searching for their eggs and stuffing their little mouths with jellbeans.

Here are the baskets.

It really was such a wonderful Easter. Conference was great, the company was great and I love me some candy so overall two thumbs up. Thanks again Gailey's for being SO wonderful as always!
