Saturday morning was the Easter Egg Hunt in my parents' neighborhood - and being the "transplant" that I am, Noah & I showed up! Ellie needed her sibling there for support anyway (they like to tell each other that they're twins).
Noah & I enjoyed the breakfast - which was all over his face!
Noah looks like he's getting ready to race down the hill to find eggs, but that's not what happened when the race started!
Ellie was all about racing, but Noah on the other hand...
was going as slow as possible and holding my mom's hand like he was scared.
He didn't want to run but then he was sad every time he saw an egg and someone got to it before him!
Luckily there was tons of eggs so we finally made it to an area of the park that still had some for Noah to put in his basket.
After the egg hunt - about 2 minutes after it started!
Noah's showing me his "boy" color easter eggs in this picture. He passed up all of the pink and purple eggs - because he only wanted green & blue. Looks like he settled for an orange one too.
Saturday afternoon we had family pictures (that's why my sisters & I are all matching) and then headed over to a dinner put on by my parents' bishop and other Young Men leaders in their ward. The dinner was to honor Brad & his friend Drew who are both leaving within the next 2 weeks for their missions! The dinner was really good & it was fun to see what goes on at those traditional dinners. I still can't believe that my "bee-bee" brother is leaving so soon!
With such a busy weekend, I did my grocery shopping at about 9:30 Saturday night - and Noah was with me as usual. The Easter Bunny had put off finding a treat for Noah's basket so I had to be as sneaky as possible that night at "my local" Wal-Mart. I picked up anything DIEGO that I could find quick without him seeing. Well, he's too smart for his age so of course he figured it all out. I had to tell the cashier to "tell the Easter Bunny that Noah would like this Diego camera and these ASU tic tacs". (It all worked out since I'm pretty tight with the workers.)
The next trick was sneaking down stairs without Noah the next morning. I thought it would be easy to sneak down there before he woke up but he heard my door open and wanted to go down with me. Well eventually I made it down without him and he was totally surprised when he found the Diego slideshow thing and the tic tacs in his basket. Oh yeah - he was with me when I bought the clothes about a month ago too but I think he forgot about those!
Easter Sunday was a little different this year, but busy and fun! Brad spoke in church and then we spent all afternoon in my parents' kitchen getting ready for his open house that night. Let's just say that I've probably gained AT LEAST 5 pounds this week because I love sweets and there's not only easter candy laying around, but also leftovers from the open house.
On a totally different note - Kip dresses himself! The underwear were on backwards so it was so funny when he stood up!
