Easter festivities

The morning before Easter, we went over to my mom's cuz her ward was doing a breakfast and Easter hunt. It was so cold and rainy but the food was yummy and fortunately there was this sweet little girl who noticed Annie and that she was crying cuz all the big kids were getting the eggs before she could get to them and didn't like that she was getting rained on and gathered a bunch of eggs for her.:) That night we had homemade chili and had our first annual at home egg coloring session. Annie was really into it and did a great job! Brian was super creative. His eggs were much more imoressive than mine! It was so fun!

This was my fav of B's.

To end the night, I treated Brian to his FAVORITE...Grandma Knight's recipe for deviled eggs! We decided not to do Easter baskets for eachother this year and just enjoy Annie doing her stuff so I wanted to surprise him with a little something.

Sorprisingly, Annie enjoyed them just as much as Brian, and he was kind eneough to share with her. She called it eggies and dip.

Easter morning Annie came into our room to wake us up as usual and I went and grabbed her basket and explained how the Easter bunny had came and left it for her for being such a good girl. In the future we'll let her find her basket but didn't know if she'd understand that this year. The first thing she did was ripped out the Dora full of candy and gave her a big kiss!

She couldn't believe even the Easter Bunny knew she loves green and found green peeps!

Her favorites?...Of course they were! Man do we know our daughter! All she wanted to do was watch Dora eggies and have treats!

She even got a Dora basket!...full of fun stuff:)

This pic got out of order somehow but this is after egg hunt #3 for Annie this year, at my mom's.

We headed over to B's parents for a delicious dinner, egg hunt and play time!

7 of the 8 grandkids on Brian's side.(missing baby Samantha) I can't believe next Easter there will be 11!

Brian's sister, Melanie surprised everyone with her big news on Easter with this fun shirt! Yeah! Hopefully she follows the line of girls coming and gets her first girl! If not, they make the cutest boys in the world so a boy works too! She kept it a secret, living a state away and is actually like 18 months along! She's due only about a month after me! So excited for #11!!!

I love this pic of Samantha. I finally caught her with an eye open, sleepy head! I love the little dimple she has on her left side and you can totally see it here!

The three girlies in their beautiful Easter dresses my mom got them. (Next year there will be 4!:))

Jade made this delicious, not to mention beautiful dessert which definately deserved a pic!
