Easter Weekend

Our family had a pretty good Easter week. Johnny is still crazy busy with soccer but we were able to dye some Easter eggs together. Lexi wanted to dye them all yellow, but that is probably because that is the color she knows how to say the best.

On Saturday our ward had an Easter activity. Johnny had a game so I took Lexi to eat some really yummy food. Then they had the kids split up and have a little Easter lesson and make their egg hunting bags. It was such a cute idea and so simple. Then they sent us out for the eggs. Since this was Lexi first real Easter egg hunt, we practiced a little at home. What can I say...I didn't want her to only pick up one and be done. Well I think the practice paid off because I think she came home with about 15 eggs. I was really impressed. Of course I was starting to feel bad because one of our friends was trying to show his daughter where some eggs where and Lexi would always beat her to them. That little stinker! Sorry Kate!
Lexi woke up bright and early on Easter morning, about an hour before normal so needless to say I was not too excited about that, but I was excited to see her face when she saw her basket and the eggs outside. She noticed her basket right away but the funny thing is that she kept pulling out the fake grass instead of the good stuff. Her favorite thing was the PEZ. The Easter bunny filled them up for her, so she gulped down the whole thing before she checked out anything else.
My favorite thing was when she looked outside and her mouth dropped because she saw all the eggs out there. She ran right to the door and was ready to get those eggs.


I am impressed that she could carry 2 in one hand. Her hands are just so small!

This was the best picture I got of her in her Easter dress. We didn't have time before church so we did it after church and lunch. She was a good sport for a minute but then when I was trying to get a picture of her with me in our dresses....

This was the result! So nap time it was! I must say that the drool just gives it a little something extra.
