Easter 2011

The girls has a jam packed Easter this year.  Saturday morning started off by coloring Easter eggs.  We had no spills this year (YAY)!
just like a Pro :)

Dad got in on the action this year



Proudly displaying the finished products

Although Ruby couldn't help, she was supervising from her high chair the whole time :)
 After the egg coloring we headed down to Brad's grandparent's place for a little Easter party.  Grandma Ruthe and Grandpa Roy live in an assisted living facility and they put on a really cute Easter egg hunt and party for the kids.  Chelsea got an adorable Easter basket, she went on an Easter egg hunt, had a rootbeer float, met the Easter bunny and got to pet and hold some real live baby bunnies (THEY WERE SOOOO STINKIN' CUTE!)  It was a lot of fun!

Found one!



Chelsea made friends with the Easter bunny

And here's the REAL Easter Bunnies...they were adorable!

Ruby & Grandma Ruthe - I think they called ahead and coordinated their outfits :)
As if all of that wasn't fun enough, after the party at grandma Ruthe's we took the girls over to Grandma Bab's house (Brad's parents) so that we could go on a much needed date.  While they were there they got two have a round two of Easter egg coloring with grandma, their cousins Braxton and Devan and their aunt Amy.
On Sunday morning everyone woke up to the baskets and goodies the Easter bunny had left.

Love Ruby's face in this shot




After checking out the loot from the bunny, we had a quick breakfast of strawberry waffles and then it was time to get ready for church.  We attended Brad's parents sacrament meeting because Scott (brad's dad) was singing in their ward's AMAZING (and I mean truly AMAZING) choir.  They did a special Easter program that was so great.  After that sacrament meeting Brad and the girls went back to his parents house for yet ANOTHER egg hunt, while I headed back up to our ward to help out in Primary.

not too shabby

 After primary I headed back down to my in laws for a delicious Easter dinner.  We were also joined by a special guest.  My brother Greg's best friend Bryce is up at Utah State going to school and we were blessed to have him join us for Easter dinner.  It's always great to have his company and it was nice to share Easter with him. 
So Easter was busy busy busy but it was a really wonderful weekend!
