Easter Fun!

The last couple of weeks have had a lot of ups and downs due to sicknesses, but despite it all we had an enjoyable Easter this year!

Makayla got to participate in some Easter egg hunts (3 of them) this year and loved it.

The first one was with some friends a few days before Easter. It was a cold day, but at least it didn't rain that day!

Getting ready for the hunt!

She is such a sassy little girl!

I get this face a lot now when I want to take her picture!

Look at that haul she got! She was so proud!

The next Easter egg hunt we went to was just outside our front door, literally! The complex we live in does a hunt each year on the hill across the street from us. After the hunt Makayla and Lucy got to have their pictures taken with the Easter bunny.

Family picture!

(I was starting to get sick when we took this picture so don't mind me)

Here is Makayla at her third hunt. She was a pro by this time! She was also a lot better this time at sharing and making sure everyone got lots of eggs. Once she filled her basket she helped others find eggs for their baskets.

This one is a little blurry, but it just captures the excitement on her face!

She is so animated I love her!

Lucy enjoying her find!

Makayla got a baseball bat, ball, and mitt for Easter.

Daddy will make sure she gets good use out of it I am sure!

Easter just wouldn't be complete without dyeing eggs. We had planned to do it the night before, but due to sickness we had to postpone it until Easter night. We still had a lot of fun! Makayla wanted the monster eggs so here she is with her monster egg. With the left over stickers she now makes everything monsters!

Caleb with his monsters!

(Sometimes I think he has more fun than Makayla doing these things! I sure love that about him!)

Lastly I have to post pictures of the girls in their Easter dresses! They were SO cute! Thanks Grandma Hunter for sending them!

ADORABLE!

BEAUTIFUL!

I love these two girls!

Easter 2011

We are so thankful for the Easter season and the chance we get to refocus our thoughts and lives around Jesus Christ our Savior. We are so thankful for his sacrifice for us and know that he did rise that third day and because of him we can return to our Heavenly Father!
