Easter 2009

Our kids are getting older so Easter morning is not quite the same! I heard of families who hide money in the eggs - that gets all the teenagers more excited - I may have to adopt that! Grace was the only one up early to get her Easter Basket! Lauren and Steve spoke in church - it was really nice to have Steve in our ward for a change! They both did a great job! I love Easter Sunday! The Primary room was decorated like the garden tomb and we went through the life of christ and even rolled the stone away from the tomb and they all got to look inside and it was empty! It was really cool - the kids were so into it! I miss the YW but I sure love Primary!!
It was a nice day - no Snow! It is so fun to spend sundays together. Our friends the Monsons came with there girls - Thank goodness! Grace had a lot more fun with them - We hunted eggs in the back yard and had a great Ham dinner! Then we just visited for the rest of the afternoon! It is always good to have a sunday before you start the Week!
Easter - girls were so happy - Derek not so happy - doesn't really like to take pictures!
Lauren decided to do something about the non-smiler - picture wrecker!!!
She is starting to loose the physical battle - but notice there is a smile!

This is how it ended - Derek wins all physical
matches in this house! But I can tell you he was smiling! hehehhe
Finding Eggs - Notice NO SNOW! YEAH!
Trees are still bare but no snow!All the girls after the egg hunt

I loved seeing Lauren wrestling with her brother. Sibling love is great. There may not be snow, but it still looks cold to me.

I did $ eggs - there is ALWAYS somebody that feels that they did not get "as much" as the other and not "happy". Then you have the "little" ones who are not "happy" because they open the eggs and get $ but want the candy instead!( The "bunny " is still over rated!)

Your girls are so beautiful! I can't believe how fast all your kids are growing up! Maybe it's because we don't get to see them often. It looks like you had a great day!
