Easter 2008

We had a fun Easter this year. The weather was pretty cold, so we didn't do much outside. They had a little Egg hunt here in our complex, so we went out for that. We had to wake up Isabel from her nap, and she was pretty out of it, so she didn't know what in the world was going on. She would sit there while we showed her an egg. Daddy thought it would be funny to take some of the deer sign (poop) and put it in an egg and have me open. Yah, really funny! We colored eggs with some friends, because let's face it, we needed an excuse to color eggs because Isabel can't do it yet! Mommy went a little overboard this year for Isabel. We had an egg hunt in the living room for her. Grandma Bailey also sent a few things for her (Thanks Grandma!). We we laid them all out in plain sight. We would make a big fuss when she picked up an egg. So she got the hang of it pretty fast. She would pick up an egg, eat it and then try and put it in the basket. Then she would look around and as soon as she spotted another one, she would take off crawling super fast to it. Then sit by it, pick it up, taste it and start all over again. It was funny to see her eyes light up when she found one and have a look of such accomplishment when she showed us one she found.
Easter morning, the Easter bunny left way too much stuff for her (again, mommy and Grandma went overboard). She got some cute summer clothes, sidewalk chalk, a kite, stuffed animal duck, a cute board book that I ruined that same day when I put her sippy in her diaper bag with the book and without the leakproof valve, oops!. She got a carebears ball that she loves to play with, a summer hat and a fun kiddie pool for the summer. Can you tell we are looking forward to warm weather? I forgot to get a picture in her Easter dress before church, so the only one we have is after her nap, but I think she still looks adorable. David spoke on Easter Sunday, he talked about the Atonement and it was so wonderful, the spirit was really strong. He always does such a good job. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family, I love my life!
