Family Pictures

My soon to be sis-in-law Lindsey was sooo sweet to take some pictures for us the other weekend. (love her) The only reason I don't love them is because I'm over-critical of myself/weight issues that I have. :) But, whatev, we need a picuture with Mae in them! of course it is next to impossible for everyone to look at the same time!

Easter Festivities

So the new header picture...That was the best picture I could get! Nia insisted on holding it up to her eye like that, and the few picture I did get with it down Mae kept walking towards me! But I had to show mom the end result of the cute little shrugs she made for them. Love them! Thanks mom! :)

We had a great weekend. We spent the days before making spring lambs and a peep easter wreath. Nia keeps calling them cheep-chirps-cute, huh?

Saturday we went to the community egg-hunt at the high school baseball fields. They had them separated according to age, so Mike took Nia and I took Mae. We practiced the day before, teaching Mae to put the eggs in the basket. There were so many people that it was getting pretty tense, I could hear people strategizing...ridiculous! When they said go it was over in like 2 minutes. I ran out with Mae, set her down by an egg and she just stared at it. But she was happy when she discovered the candy inside. It reminded me of an insect infestation, they were destroying everything in their path! It was fun though. Nia managed to grab 6 or 7 eggs. We went and breakfasted at McDonalds then went home and relaxed till 11:30, when we went to see HOP. It was cute and the girls really liked it. They had fun riding on the mini merry-go-round there in the theatre, then we headed home to paint easter eggs.




We had baskets and a egg hunt for the girls sunday morning, then church at 1:30. We had a nice dinner of pigs in a blanket, deviled eggs, spinach salad, jello, potato chips, and sparkling grape juice. With the bunny cake for dessert. I have memories of Grandma Woodward making a bunny cake, and wanted to start that tradition. It was a great little weekend, and not forgetting the reason we celebrate. I'm not quite sure how to explain the atonement/resurrection to Nia yet, so we touched on it, but in future years I hope to make it more prominent.





Hope you all had a great weekend as well! (2 weeks ago now??)
