Easter 2008

I've been slow to put our Easter pictures up but wanted to share just a few. This year, we spent Easter in Utah. Luke and his cousin, Jill, started the festivities by coloring Easter eggs. Their favorite part was dropping the egg in the dye, making a huge splash and a huge mess! On Saturday, we had a yummy Easter dinner with the Daynes family, followed by an Easter egg hunt for the kids. Although Luke is still not too interested in candy, except Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, he still enjoyed trying to find the Easter eggs and seeing what was in them. It's amazing how quickly kids catch on to this little tradition! Then on Sunday, we did kind of the same thing with the Rees family, except all the kids were all dressed in their cute Easter outfits! My brother Rich and his family from Maryland and my sister Susan and her family from Idaho were also in town which made things extra fun!
Not planned, Luke and his cousin Ryan matched perfectly in their Easter outfits!

Luke just a little excited as he ran out the door to search for Easter eggs.

Nothing stopped Lukey as he searched for eggs. Even in the middle of the rose patch he was still determined.

Not the most flattering picture of me and my prego tummy that I'm trying to hide and my hair that is a month overdue to get done! However, a great shot of my sister Sarah!

Every egg Luke dyed ended up cracked all over. Because of his excitement he threw each egg back in the carton too hard. Green was Lukes favorite color out of all of them. No one knows why Luke likes green stuff. His favorite blanket is also green.

We were lucky to get this picture because Luke hardly looked up during the hunt. He was so focussed on finding the next egg.

Sprintime brings many beautiful things. This is Jake's sister. What a beautiful flower she is!
