Easter weekend 2009~Sunday

On Easter morning, I was the first one to wake up, and so I decided to wait for Leah and Chris to wake on their own. Well, about an hour later I was just too excited to wait any longer so I woke Chris up and went into Leah's room to get her. Usually she has the ears of a fox and if you even open up her door ever so slightly, she'll pop right up from crib at the sound. But I went in there and she didn't wake up. I moved some things around, coughed, and eventually shook her crib a bit. I know, what a rude mommy I am!

She finally woke up! She was so excited when she saw what the Easter bunny had brought her. I set out a little trail of those Cadbury eggs (NOT the ones with the nasty cream stuff in it. Yuck!) And at first she was only interested in those. But that soon went away as she dug into her basket. I love watching her little chubby angel face light up.

She got some really fun things from our family. She got a really cute outfit from my mom, a butterfly keepsake basket full of goodies from Aunt Angie and Uncle Patrick and her cousins, Leah loves it. And then she got the cutest summer dress ever from Aunt Charlotte, that she hand made herself!!! She made one for all of the girls and they turned out soooo cute! Rozzy, Abagail, and Leah have matching ones, and Isabella and Elana have ones with cherries on them.I just love the way they all turned out. Thanks Char! Is there anything that you can't do?

Later we had an Easter egg hunt and had dinner. It was such a good dinner! We had pasta salad, my mom's potato salad-which is the best potato salad ever! The only kind I'll eat- hamburgers and hot dogs off of the grill, baked ham, strawberry shortcake, and yummy cookie crumb salad. Yeah, I ate way too much, but it was all just too good. Overall we had a great Easter weekend. I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the opportunity to have been able to spend the weekend with my family. And I am so grateful for the resurrection of the Savior. With him in our lives, I know that all things are possible, if we just let our guard down, and let him in.
