Egg Hunting

We had a wonderful Easter which included:
- Three Easter Egg Hunts! The Pi Phi Easter Egg hunt with DD, hunt in our backyard after church on Easter, and another hunt the evening of Easter at DD and Big John's house.
- Easter baskets which included a Thomas the Train book for Jack Ranger and a recordable book for Cadie so she can hear me read a book to her while I am away on business trips.
- Dying and decorating sparkle Easter Eggs
- Erin doing a reading at the Easter service at our church
- Wonderful time to remember the death and resurrection of our Savior!

We love the Pi Phi hunt which includes eggs, petting zoo and new this year - a train! The original date was rained out, but we didn't know so Cadie, Jack Ranger and I attended and got to have an afternoon at the park on our first try. The next Thursday we tried again and this time there was no rain-out. The funniest part to me was that they had an area for 3+ and then a 1-2 yrs. area. The 3+ area was stripped of eggs in about 10 seconds. After 30 mins. the 1-2 year old were still wandering around drooling on eggs, kicking them around, shaking them, dropping them back on the ground. Cadie eventually had to come help Jack Ranger with his eggs. After the event we were all walking back to our cars and Cadie looked up at DD and said, "I would really love to go with you DD." Of course sweet DD could not resist so DD and Cadie went off and did their thing and JR and I had a lovely remainder of the evening together.





The Easter bunny not only brought new books, but also lots of eggs in our backyard! We had to rush home after church and brunch with the Walsh family to do the hunt before the storms began. Not sure if Grant, Cadence or Jack Ranger had more fun running around in the rain getting the eggs. I know what mom had the most fun doing! The long morning and sound of rain in the afternoon resulted in 3-hour naps all around - awesome.


This is a special pink dress Cadie wore for Easter. Mama D, Dawna's mother, made this dress for Aunt Whitney when Whitney was little. It looked adorable on Cadie and fit her perfectly. I wish she had worn the white panties instead of the purple Ariel panties that showed through, but not worth a fight as we rushed off to church.

He is Risen! He is Risen indead!!
