Hoppy Easter


I'm so punny! :P We've had a great weekend with lots of fun stuff. Friday started off with our annual playgroup Easter egg hunt. My girl friend Michelle came complete with themed plates, cups, napkins, a craft and bunny shaped rice krispie treats. All of this only a week after her 18 month old had surgery to remove a growth on her skull (benign -- YEAY). Every once in awhile, I think I should find some friends who aren't so amazing. The kids had fun and I managed to survive the craft portion of the event. After that Ellie had a birthday party and then we had a bunch of friends over for games.

The Easter Bunny came while we were at church. He had every intention of coming Saturday, but after we shoved all of our friends out the door, we were way too tired to stay up and stuff eggs. So I got to do it last night while Dustin was off watching UFC. I'm surprised there was any candy left for the kids the way I was eating it.

Ellie decided to boss Nate around and tell him which eggs to pick up, but luckily by the time we got into the living room, Ellie had decided to go her own way and ended up in the kitchen. Nate was able to hunt in peace. It's so cute to hear him laugh at all the places he found eggs. He pretty much ate all of his candy for lunch. Yummm, healthy.

Ellie thinks the Easter Bunny is hysterical. She is always so excited about where he has hidden the eggs. Her favorite spot is always the lamp for some reason. When she found the egg in the lamp she shouted, "Oh yeay! He hid one there again."

Anyway, now we're off to nap and then to dinner at my Aunt and Uncle's.

Those are great pictures! They look like they had the best Easter ever! The blue shirt that Nate is wearing is my FAVORITE Old Navy shirt. I swear I have one in every size for my boys. It is the coolest blue!

Oh, and I forgot about that awesome black table thing from Target. Hrumpf. You sure have the best personal Target shopper! ;)

Happy Easter Maddy and family!!

Hoppy Easter to you too! You think of good places to hide eggs - the lamp! Ammon and I don't want to make it too hard (or too long for that matter) so we put them in totally obvious places- like the floor!
