Easter weekend 2009 Saturday.

We had a pretty good Easter weekend. I'm going to do this in two parts because there are lots of pics and stuff to write about. Saturday Scott and his family came down to visit for the weekend and got to see one of my favorite Uncles (Uncle Stan) and my older cousin Lonny. They were able to meet Scott for the first time, and it was truly a great moment. I still forget sometimes that before January I still had no idea that I had a brother out there. And even more than that, I forget that for the most part, the rest of my family has yet to meet him.

Later in the afternoon we headed over to my sister and brother in laws house to have an Easter egg hunt. I was so mad that the weather wasn't being cooperative! It was chilly, cloudy, and windy. At first Leah didn't know what to do, but Aunt Katie stepped up and showed her what was what while I was taking pictures of it, and Leah got it like that! That little thing sure is a fast learner! Thanks Kim, Brandon, Katie and girls for the having us over for the egg hunt!








Later that night we had dinner at my parents-my mom's yummy chicken salad sandwiches. And all dyed Easter eggs together. Imagine 12 kids and a bunch of adults trying to dye Easter eggs all at once! Crazy. It was fun though. Leah loved it. She would throw an egg in the bowl of dye, stir it around with an egg spoon, switch it into a different bowl of dye. She then would then take the egg out with her hand and put it in the spoon, and move on to the next egg. It was sooo cute! She was dead serious about it, concentrating only on dying the eggs. So cute!







We then left, exhausted might I add. Poor Leah was so ready to go to bed. We put her down and got things ready for the Eater Sunday to arrive!
