Easter 2008

Happy Easter! What a marathon day. Brian got in late last night, and I don't know if the kids were more excited this morning about seeing daddy for the first time in a week, or finding their Easter baskets. It didn't take long for the sugar overload to kick in. Especially Isabel, my candy girl. Every time I turned around she was getting into something sweet.

When I was growing up, we always hid a carrot for the Easter bunny, and in the morning we would find our baskets where we each hid a carrot. I forgot to buy carrots, so my kids hid ramekins with frozen peas and carrots in them. Bunnies like all veggies, right? Oh, and our Easter bunny is quite smitten with the children's outdoor spring stuff section at Target. :) (watering cans, bug houses, and the like).


I had saved dying Easter eggs and decorating Easter cookies for this morning so we could all do it together. Every once in awhile 1:00 church is a good thing. After doing eggs and cookies, we all watched "Finding Faith in Jesus Christ" and talked about the reason we celebrate Easter.

My three children all dressed up. Thanks, mom, for making Isabel's dress!





After church we went to Brian's grandmother's (Nanna) for Easter dinner. Hope everyone had a great Easter!

Happy Easter! It looks like the kids really enjoyed themselves. I loved our tradition of hiding the carrot. I think it is cute that you hid veggies. Apparently the E.B. isn't too picky! Nice easter clothes, too.
