Easter 2011

Easter this year was very very busy!! But so much fun! Earlier in the week we celebrated Passover with Granny Annie. Abby was very good this year and sat through most of the dinner. On the Saturday before Easter we went to our community Egg Hunt that Shiloh Church puts on every year. Nana Barbara, Grandma Bev, Aunt Lisa and Cousin Katelyn came too! Abby went charging for eggs, while Katelyn picked up 3 and then was more interested in the swing set.

After the Egg Hunt we went home and dyed Easter Eggs. We used a really cool glitter kit this year. After we were all done and cleaned up I went to put the eggs in the refrigerator and noticed another carton of eggs. I had one carton that was hard boiled and one for Easter brunch. Hmmmmmm.....I wonder which carton I grabbed when we started dying eggs??? Turns out we dyed the regular eggs and not the hard boiled ones! Back to the store I went to get more dye for the hard boiled eggs. Abby then dyed eggs again. The next morning when I started to make our egg casserole we cracked the glitter eggs. Some of the glitter went into the casserole so it was very pretty!!

Nana, Aunt Lisa, Uncle Gregg and Cousin Katelyn came over for brunch on Easter. They got lots of baskets and presents which they enjoyed! Later that afternoon we had dinner with Grandpa Dan and Jaci. Uncle Eric, Aunt Amy and Uncle Max was there too, along with some of Jaci's family. Abby had fun doing another egg hunt! Savannah had fun just hanging out all day watching all the fun!

It was a great Easter spent with lots of family and friends!!

Smiles!

Savannah is almost 3 months old now! She is smiling and talking a lot more (of course we don't know what she is saying, but we love to listen!). She started daycare on Monday, April 11th and is doing great. It is hard for Mom and Dad to get into the new morning routine though. A lot more to remember and do now that there is a second child to drop off. Need to start earlier which means less sleep. Oh well.....they are both worth it!

T-Ball

Abby started playing T-Ball this month. She is doing really good. Basically the kids are being taught the fundamentals of the game. Pretty much all the kids can hit the ball and throw pretty good. Getting them to run around the bases is funny. Abby likes to walk the bases and not really run. Oh well....it is cute to watch! So far T-Ball is much more successful than Soccer was.
