Easter 2009

Posted by sherriknits

We had a great day with the family. My battery was dying on my camera today so I got pretty random pictures.

I gave the dear boy the option to look for eggs this year….I asked him if he wanted to or is he too old? He said, “I’m fine!” , which means….he’ll hunt for eggs. We had a horribly busy week so we didn’t even get to dye them until 10:30 last night.

What’s funny is, we still don’t really hide the eggs, they are pretty much set around the room because he doesn’t see things the way any of us would. We’ve worked and worked on this, but he can look at a surface with 3 eggs on it and only see one. All the kids take part in trying to be creative in their hiding of the eggs while Tyler waits in the other room, he gets such a kick out of this.

What is she doing?

This is Brittany’s last egg and she was sure she could make it stick on the door handle.

She’s such a good sport.

No, the egg wouldn’t stay.

We did have some humorous spots.

This next one is on the piano and using his Handwriting Without Tears pieces.

After the eggs were all safely in the carton again (I forgot to get a picture of him finding them!), we were ready to eat our simple meal.

Rebecca made “He is Risen” rolls……the empty tomb.

After dinner, the kids played games and sad to say, I fell asleep.

Tyler was playing “baby”.

(on any other occasion, he would be offended if you called him baby, so I have no idea why this was ok today!)

Here’s the little doll all dressed up in her pink satin dress and sparkly headband).

Ok, Ben…….you don’t want to smile, that’s ok. I don’t have enough battery to re-take the picture. :)

And here’s the smart dad getting ready to leave and being silly.

That’s it for the day. We had a great celebration at church today, Kenny led a wonderful worship service. It didn’t matter that there was a monsoon going on outside.

Also, we’ve been babysitting little missy a few mornings a week while mommy goes to work out.

She wasn’t too happy the other morning but we still enjoy it. Here’s Uncle Tyler taking his turn!

Happy Easter to you and I do hope you had a great day.
