Saturday night egg dying
Finding hidden Easter baskets in the morning - Andrew's in the drawer of the coffee table
Logan found his basket behind the dining room door
Hannah's basket was behind the couch
Both Nana and the Easter Bunny gave Hannah My Little Ponies. I thought she would just love them, but she was more interested in the Little Pony purse.
The Easter bunny likes to bring us "outdoor" gifts like sidewalk chalk, bubbles, and sand toys. The beautiful wrapped Easter gifts, "breakfast foods," and treats were from Nana and Papa. Thanks!
Dressing up all matchy-matchy for church.
Enjoying a yummy Easter feast with friends.
I was dreaming of a beautifully laid table with pastel tablecloths, matching dishes and glassware, fresh spring flower arrangements for centerpieces, and handmade placecards but...that wasn't exactly in the budget. So we had to make due with the red apple vinyl tablecloth I already had and mismatched dishes and plastic cups. (sigh) At least the food was yummy.
The Kids' Table - what a group!
At the Easter egg hunt, Andrew seemed fairly satisfied with his stash this year. At least I never heard him complain that it was "the worst Easter ever!"
Hannah didn't really get the egg hunt concept, of course, but she did look dang cute sitting in the grass with her new Easter basket, handpainted by Nana (thanks Mom)!
These last three pictures were from my friend, Meghan. So sweet! Her camera is much better than mine, obviously.
One of my favorite talks this last General Conference was an especially powerful message from Elder Holland. It seems very appropriate to share this time of year:
"Brothers and sisters, one of the great consolations of this Easter season is that because Jesus walked such a long, lonely path utterly alone, we do not have to do so. His solitary journey brought great company for our little version of that path—the merciful care of our Father in Heaven, the unfailing companionship of this Beloved Son, the consummate gift of the Holy Ghost, angels in heaven, family members on both sides of the veil, prophets and apostles, teachers, leaders, friends. All of these and more have been given as companions for our mortal journey because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ and the Restoration of His gospel. "
--Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
HAPPY EASTER!!!

Wow. It seems like every one had someone to celebrate Easter with except my family! Your easter looks like it was a lot of fun. Your kids looked really cute.
In the very first pic, I see David having fun dying the eggs, but what about the boys...He did let them take a turn didn't he?:) I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new easter duds!!
I love the matchy matchy clothes and handpainted Easter baskets. Your Easter dinner looks a lot like ours. I had to laugh at you dreaming of "pastel matching tableware" because I felt the same way. As I was setting the table I thought, "Hmmm, maybe someday I'll have an Easter tablecloth and some nice Spring dishes." Your food looks great!
I love that picture of you and Hannah and those are the cutest Easter baskets I've ever seen!

Looks like you guys had a great Easter! I loved your kids outfits on Sunday, they looked so cute. That black and white photo of you and Hannah is so precious!
Weird, Wierd, I suddenly can't remember how to spell wierd, or is it weird. I swear having kids kills brain cells. Anyway, wierd to see someone from little ol' Heber sitting at your table in Ohio! Your kids are adorable! You do such a good job. I want to be a mom like you, you're so creative. It looks like you had a great Easter!
