Happy Easter

Our Easter started with Joshau throwing a fit because we wouldn't let him pick up the egg on the bookshelf behind him.
But he cheered right up when he went on the hunt for his gifts. Here is the first one that they found.
They finished finding all of their gifts with Lexie getting this one and...
Joshua receiving this one. They made a haul this Easter it almost felt like Christmas.
We then went outside to get pictures of them in their Easter outfits. Eric isn't as patient as I am and he only took like 5. This was the best one. At least you can see their outfits. Eric's mom made Lexie's dress and it was absolutely adorable. She loved it. Joshua's outfit was just the last one on the rack at Kohl's. I must admit he looked really adorable in it.

We then went to church and had great talks on Christ. Joshua slept all through sacrament so we were actually able to enjoy it.

We came home and had a potluck Easter dinner with our friends the Jorgensen's and Bird's. It was nice because the kids played upstairs while the adults ate and then they ate while we hid the eggs outside.

The kids enjoyed hunting for the eggs. Lexie was a lot more timid this year and wouldn't grab an egg from anywhere dirty. It was quite funny to watch. Last year she just raced around grabbing as many as she could find. This year she would see one but if it wasn't clean enough she let someone else grab it. Joshua could have cared less.

Then the kids ate the candy from the eggs and the candy on the floor that they spilled.

After all that the adults were able to play a game while the kids played some more and then our night ended. Eric and I were in bed just a little after 9.

Those Easter pics are really cute! Lexie's dress is pretty too. I wish it was warm enough here to wear shorts! It's supposed to snow tomorrow. We'll see.
Your trip pictures were awesome!! You should write a tour book for that area. I have never been there and would love to go. It sounds like you guys had a blast. Our poor kids have never been to Disneyland!! We are going though next summer - 2009 baby!!

Lexie is always such a princess! I love the dress and her cute little gloves. And I think all parents should take pictures of their kids throwing a fit. So funny.

What a fun Easter you had, and how nice you were in bed at a decent hour.
