EaStER 2010


we love Easter at our house because there are so many fun things about Easter. Our favorite thing of course is playing with family, but the eggs, candy, suprises, and fun are all good things too!! This year we had a pretty chillin Easter. We had Kate and Heather over for some traditional dying of the eggs. The girls loved getting creative.



Luckily for us Cam had fallen asleep just in time for the dying part. Otherwise this experience would have probably been one messy story!! We love cam though, just not the amazing messes he can create, especially with dye!!


After we dyed eggs we got together for girls "conference night". While all the men go to the priesthood session we try to be a little creative with the girls. This year we made cute little sock bunnies!! The girls LOVED making them. We used kernal corn to fill the socks, and you can be rest assured that even though Britto and her boys weren't there- we still managed (CAM Managed) to make a big enough mess for everyone!!! (we missed you B).


Then Easter morning is always exciting, Ali kept saying she would sleep in, but before the clock even reached 7:15 Ali was in our room telling us there were trails of Candy and Eggs in our house. Of course we had to get up for that!! We are still working on teaching her to stay in bed until the clock says an 8- but we'll keep trying!! Easter is exciting!! this year she left a special note asking the Easter bunny his/her name. She wrote on a little paper NAME__________________. I asked fro what to do about that, and he said, "He is EASTER BUNNY!" I didn't know what I was expecting to hear, that his name should be BOB, but she was pretty excited when she saw the note with some special writing that read EASTERBUNNY
Every year the "Easter Bunny" seems to love movies because there is always one in each basket. This year was no exception. Ali had a Princess and the Frog themed basket with cute little frog eggs leading to her basket, and Cam is all about Cars. We hadn't bought cars for him yet and he got it with a few of his favorite Cars characters. He loved all the candy all about the house and all morning said, "More Candy!!" We decided that this year being Easter and Conference we would have everyone over for a mid-session lunch. It was a fun time. We played, had some food, talked about conference, and had a great Easter!!

You're so good! my boys slept in until 9:30 and I guess I haven't made a big enough deal about the "EasterBunny"-Noah continued to ask me if the little bowling set was really from me or the Bunny. I some how have dodged answering him. Looks like a ton of fun and we missed you guys to. :)
