Easter!

Our Easter party began the Saturday before Easter…we spent it at my Sister Jenny’s house. Nick and I went a little early to help hide the eggs. The weather wasn’t too good, it was raining on and off all day, but it held out during our Easter egg hunt. It was so much fun to watch Pearl and Ruby run around trying to figure out what to do with the eggs.

They were obviously more interested in the candy inside the eggs than actually collecting them, but can you blame them?


Even my Dad was pretty excited about the Tootsie Rolls inside!


After the hunt was over, Pearl and Ruby (or Roo as Pearl kept calling her), decided they wanted to spend some quality time playing on the playground. So Jesse and Jeff put the two parts together and the girls climbed and slid down it for about an hour!



Once they had their fill of being outside, we went inside for some brunch! My sister and mom are wonderful and provided a delicious breakfast of breakfast casseroles, fresh fruit, cinnamon roles, muffins, and apple juice. YUM!
Then the real Easter fun began…Ding Dong Bunnies! Every year we make these funny little things, and this year was no exception. Jenny sent Nick and I on a “good ear” run that morning to find the pipe cleaners with fat middles because they make better bunny ears. There were some pretty good bunnies this year!


Kurtis was in St. George with my Aunt and Uncle, so in his memory my mom made a camoflauge bunny.


Even Ruby got in on the bunny making action!

Me and my mom made this awesome Victoria's Secret bunny, complete with wings and a bow-tie!

My two favorite were my "Damn-Ducky" bunny, and my pirate bunny.
(The Damn Ducky thing is a really long story, but if you want to know it feel free to ask.)

Here are a few "family" pictures.

I forgot to take my camera that day, so all the pictures are one's I stole from Jenny, thanks Jen!
