Easter 2009

The "Easter Weekend" was a busy one for us . . .


Makenna was off Thursday, and we went to the chiropractor for much needed adjustments. (Thanks to a new, lower copay -- PRAISE THE LORD!) Daddy and Makenna had Friday off. Daddy worked on paperwork, and the kids played inside since the temperature maybe made it into the low 40s!!


Friday evening, we headed up to Nana & Pappy's house for our annual egg-dying. We were joined by Uncle Brian, Aunt Niki, Halle, Uncle Bob, Aunt Marlene and Aunt Pat. (PS: We missed the rest of our family that could be there.)

Waiting for the festivities to begin . . . Nana & Madi

After a hearty dinner of soup and sandwiches, we started the egg hunt. (Sorry these first few are fuzzy -- yeah, my camera! Rrrr!)

Halle went first and did a great job finding all her money-filled plastic eggs.

Oooo . . . lookie what's inside!


Next is Isaiah's turn.

Everyone put their eggs in their own bag.

Madi is excited about her polka-dotted treasure!

Makenna's Easter eggs were a little harder to find -- in the kitchen!


Isaiah snuggling with Aunt Pat waiting for the egg hunt to end.


Just in time, Easter Baskets!

Halle's turn -- "What's in here?"

It's edible??

(Oddly enough, Isaiah and Halle didn't like Peeps said the peep lover!)


New hats, slippers, toys, books . . . yeah!

Let the egg-dying begin!

(Had to post this for Nana -- as the family tradition continues, she loved that her son and nephew were coloring eggs with their children)

The little ones cut out early but were still facinated by the colored eggs.

We changed clothes to dye eggs.

Couldn't pass up a pic of their cute little legs running around!

Daddy made Mommy a special egg ;D

Uncle Rick finally got his Halle fix!

The girls stayed overnight with Nana & Pappy, a special treat! Daddy cut wood in preparation for next winter (although this winter doesn't want to leave). Mommy readied the house for company.

Easter day . . .

We had friends and family over for lunch. It was enjoyable to sit around and fellowship.

A rare photo -- but I do exist. Isn't he a cutie?!?

By the end of the day, we were down two headbands and a sweater, but I was happy to get a few photos. Zaya was too tired to cooperate.

A practice shot while setting up my camera -- didn't notice the blood on Isaiah's chin from his fall until it started dripping on his shirt . . . and Daddy's . . .

. . . at least we have a photo to remember this day!

We pray you had a blessed day remembering our Risen Savior!
