Easter Weekend 2009

The Easter bunny hopped on over to our house on Friday night and left the girls hidden baskets of goodies. Laura woke up early and found her basket first. She was thrilled with her new sparkly butterfly pillowcase and, I must say adorable, hair bows. Eden also loves her kitty pillowcase and flowers barrettes. I'm sure glad because I sacrificed a whole Friday evening to get those silly things done. Lesson: making h tings by hand is not easier than getting a few th ings at the dollar store.

Brent and I were happy with our european chocolate bars. I just ate the last piece.

For our annual 'Easter-Spring Day' this year we continued our tradition of heading to Midway to visit Great Grandma Geniel and Uncle Wayne. We had a big dinner, had an Easter Egg hunt in the backyard, played with bubbles and the girls decorated cupcake easter baskets while Brent and I had a mini date around town.

Unfortunately Laura was getting over a cold and was pretty cranky. And her parents were so fed up that the easter bunny made a second appearance on saturday night to take back Laura's candy. Too much sugar.

Sunday was a lot more stable, probably because of the missing candy, and after church we took a walk on the Kayscreek Parkway. It's a canyon that runs down the middle of Layton, like a mini national park. The girls saw birds, heard the frogs chirping, and kept their eyes out for mountain lions. Laura also insisted she wear her bunny ears. She also showed us how she would duck really fast if an eagle swooped down to take them off. It's always good to be prepared.

Good times. Our Easter bunny only leaves a bit of candy so it will be devoured that afternoon, never to be worried about again!
