EASTER!

Easter was great! We were up early to be ready for Whitney's baby blessing but I was able to grab a few quick shots of the kids w/ their Easter baskets.

Landen w/ his ninja turtle and an empty Reeses peanut butter egg wrapper. He liked the turtle and LOVED the candy! He didn't hesitate one second to get things in his mouth.

Braxton LOVED his ninja turtle and was also happy with his candy too. I think that it took him a bit to notice his candy though cause he was so excited for his ninja turtle. It went all over with us on Easter and still likes to troop along to the store and such.

Abbey was very excited about her twistable crayons that she has wanted for a while. Notes and pictures were mass produced all day long!

The Saturday before Easter was rainy so we dyed eggs with the kids. We all had fun. Landen liked to put his egg in one color and let it sit for a long time. He would look around trying to figure out why this was so exciting to the other kids. He finally discovered a spoon to stir the egg around in the cup with and all of the sudden he was enjoying himself... and I was having a heart attack watching the dye almost spill out of the cup!

The Friday before we had a wienie roast at Grandpa's orchard with an easter egg hunt. They kids had a blast. Landen felt shafted when he opened up most of his eggs and found money (nickels, pennies, dimes, etc..) instead of candy. He would get so excited till he saw it wasn't candy but he didn't give up, he kept opening eggs till he found treats! He gave his money away to Abbey and Braxton and they were more than delighted to get more cash!

Easter isn't just a one day event for our family! The weekend after Easter we went up to Idaho for another hunt at Grandma & Grandpa Christensen's house. They had a lot of fun with all of the cousins and enjoyed the treats and toys inside the eggs.

Sorry that there aren't more pictures but this year I decided that I wanted to be a part of the fun instead of stuck behind a camera lens.
