Yeah for Easter!

We had a jam packed weekend with Easter Egg hunts, brunches, BBQs and sunshine! We went to 3 egg hunts hosted by family, wards and friends!

Bucket heads are requisite in our family.

Showing off the prizes from the hunt!


We celebrated Merril's birthday this weekend as well! He's 33.

We dyed eggs, of course.

I especially liked Maxine's starry night sky.

This morning we hunted for eggs!

We had a breakfast of hard boiled eggs and toast before dashing off to church at 9:00 a.m.

Okay 9:04 a.m. The egg hunt threw us off. I might have been able to get us there on time but I refuse to get up earlier than 6:30 a.m.

These are their Easter outfits! This is after church so the hair was already coming out and shoes had come off. I love to make a matching tie for Jack. It's so easy and I got the pattern and instructions online here! Ties are all about cutting the fabric on the diagonal and after that, it's a cinch! The dresses worked out fine. Maxine's was too big, then I took in the sides and it was too small so I ripped out the zipper and got an extra 1/2 inch and it fit perfectly. I had to sew her zipper 3 times! The first time I sewed it in backwards by mistake so the zipper handle faced the inside of the dress (woops), second time was perfect but I had to pull it to gain an extra 1/2 inch, third time wasn't as pretty as the first two but oh well, I was done. I wasn't about to pull it again and sew it a fourth time. I think I'm over my fear of sewing zippers now. :)

Happy Easter!
