Easter...Finally

We had such a great Easter Weekend! Trulie and Jace came up to visit and we were so happy to have company for the holiday. Jace is just the funniest little guy, I could listen to him "talk" all day. He turned two on the 15th so it was fun to give him his present here and see him so close to his birthday. That is the absolute worst part about living here: missing pretty much all of my nieces and nephew's birthdays...anyway, Happy Birthday Jacer!

They came up Friday night and stayed till Sunday afternoon. They all played here while I did some engagement pictures Saturday morning and then we all went to the Easter Egg hunt at our church. It was the PERFECT hunt: Didn't start till 1:00 pm; they had tons of fun prizes along with the candy filled eggs; they let the little kids' group go first, then the older kids, so I got to watch both of my kids run; and to top it all off, Gorgeous weather! So warm the chocolate candy in the eggs was a little melty.

Hudson was totally into it this year, and, being 2 1/2, was one of the older kids in the 0-3 section. He loved it! Especially since he realized before hand that there was candy in the eggs! The worst part was holding him back until the starting whistle!

Kennedy loved it, too. She was so fast and her basket was overflowing by the time she was done. Doesn't she look proud of herself??

Analyzing the loot...

The Hunt was organized by some awesome girls in my ward, they did such a great job, Thank YOU! We had so much fun!

Trulie and I even managed to sneak out during nap time Saturday afternoon for some picture-location-scouting and some sweet shopping. She is so fun to hang out with, we try not to get into too much trouble together...I love her tons!

Sunday morning Kennedy was so excited, she woke up at probably 6 am(not sure, too tired to look at the clock), but we made her go back to sleep about three times between then and 7:30, when we finally dragged ourselves out of bed. She loved her surprises from the Bunny...


But I think Hudson gave the best reaction. The bunny sure knows that kid...Lightning McQueen everything...

And of course, the OUTFITS...

We had so many eggs around, so we had another little hunt at our house on Sunday afternoon. I am so mean, I made them pose again before we said go.

"Can I have a pin-cess egg, Mom? Can I?"

Jace loved chasing Tahoe around, or as he called him, "Ruff-ruff."

Hudson even got a chance to try out his new wheels. He can't quite pedal on his own yet, but loves to sit on it...Plus, new Lightning McQueen shirt from Trulie plus new Lightning McQueen bike and helmet equals HEAVEN...

Thanks so much to Trulie for coming up and spending the weekend with us. I loved being able to see Jace and the kids loved playing with him. We sure missed you Garret! Garret, my little brother, has diabetes, and does really well most of the time, but gave us quite a scare last week. I know Heavenly Father hand-picked Trulie for him so he would have a guardian angel here on earth. We love you guys so much and are so glad everything turned out OK. Can't wait to see you again soon!
