Easter - April 4, 2010

Easter
April 4, 2010

It's Easter Day and Spring is finally here.....at least we thought it was until we woke up and looked out the window. SNOW!! It was everywhere. I guess that means that we need to go to plan B and spend the day inside.

Brittania and Braxton came over to spend Easter morning at our house. Ryan had to work, he seems to have the wrong schedule so his work weekends end up on the holidays.

Some of the Easter eggs were "hid" in the middle of the floor for Braxton to find. He got a head start while we were waiting for Scott and Emily to come. Charlie wanted to get in on the fun.

Shaun and Charlie went outside to see if Scott and Emily were coming. Scott and Emily are crossing the street. (Charlie got a hair cut this past week).

I think that maybe Shaun didn't want his picture taken - He really is just trying to be silly.

Here's a second try. Braxton must be wondering why Shaun has an Easter basket on his head.

Time to find the Easter eggs - Shaun and Brittania.

Braxton is done looking for eggs and just wants to go for the candy jar, it's probably easier that way.

Emily looking for Easter eggs.

Shaun, Brittania, Braxton and Emily looking for Easter eggs. It appears that they were all hid in the kitchen this year.

Shaun, Grandpa Ray, Braxton and Scott trying to find Easter eggs.

After they found the Easter eggs (there are still 9 missing) we had breakfast of Easter eggs (hard boiled eggs) and pull-aparts, which is one of the kids favorites. The first week of April is always our General Conference so we all watched the morning session together. We always love listening to our Prophet speak.
Braxton is good at opening presents.

WOW! Grandma and Grandpa Walker gave him a little wagon for Easter.

Braxton is curious about all of those parts in the box, Shaun is starting to put it together.

It's a 3 in 1 toy - Braxton can ride it, turn over the top part and have a wagon, or tip it for a stroller. Braxton loves Grandpa pushing him fast.

Braxton thinks it is great fun.

The Precious Moments was an Easter gift from Becky Rees and her family, the Angel was a gift from them for Christmas.

When the afternoon session of General Conference was over we left to go up to my dad's cabin in Midway. Since it snowed the BBQ with the Little family had to be changed. Grandpa Little offered his cabin for us to go to for our family Easter dinner. We all had food assignments and we ended up cooking the hamburgers on a George Foreman grill - inside - rather than the original plan of a BBQ. So I guess instead of an outdoor BBQ for Easter our family ended up sleigh riding on Easter. It seems a little bit backwards - there was no sleigh riding at Grandpa's Christmas party because there was no snow, but on Easter when it is supposed to be a nice spring day we end up in the snow. That was a first - sleigh riding on Easter. This is Shaun getting ready to go down the hill.


The cousins were trying to make it steeper and faster. Kyle, Shaun and Jennifer



Shaun is ready to go again
