Happy, Happy Easter!

Easter time is always very fun in our neighborhood.  our annual pot luck has grown and changed over the years.  with most of our littles in soccer, we've started having an evening party rather than a breakfast.  the girls were thrilled to break out the baskets.  (when will they stop "posing" for the camera?)  this was Colin's first bone fide egg hunt, and he was unsure what to expect.  
 this is most of the motley crew that gathered for the big egg hunt.  (Colin is not pictured as he was too busy playing basketball and i am too pregnant to chase after him for a photo op.) 


once he got the hang of the hunt, he found it fun.  he had lots of help from sisters too!



 dinner was delicious!


 and we gathered enough candy to wire these kids for 3 days!
 Easter Sunday we had a fun dying Easter eggs before church.   



church was uplifting and a wonderful celebration of our Savior's life, atonement and resurrection.  and marked Anna's very first performance with the ward choir.  afterward, we hosted out Earl family for dinner, and snapped some pics of these Easter cuties.  






Happy Easter!

Easter Week

as previously disclosed to all who may have come to our front door, we headed to California to celebrate Easter with our family.  Barrett's little cuties headed out to a Dodger's game. 

 and we  Arizonans headed for some much needed beach time! 





 i can't believe how much this little Violet  has grown.  she looks just like her daddy to me in this pic:

 Easter day brought smiles to all our faces, as we went to church, hunted eggs and feasted on some yummy food!


 the kids put on a fabulous Easter program:

 here we all are in all our Easter glory!  and this is with just 2 out of 6 kids having grandchildren!

hey burglars! we're headed to CA. just so you know.

on Tuesday we're headed to California for a joint family celebration of Easter, and Austin and Holly's sealing.  today, i found this informative note on our front door:
let me translate, "on April 3, the Earls is going to California on Easter, for Easter and for Laine's birthday."

we are so proud of how much Anna is learning about reading and writing in kindergarten, at home we will be reviewing stranger danger and general home security.
