Easter Weekend

Our Easter Weekend was jammed packed to say the least! Its always fun around the holidays, but by the end I'm so tired! We celebrated Easter from Friday night on, not including my moms Easter party last week! I think I'm pretty much candied out for awhile, and so is Rylee!

Easter 2010

*SUGAR COOKIES*

Friday morning me and Ry got up and made sugar cookies. Its getting more fun to do things with her, and she seems to enjoy "frosting" the cookies. I think she gets more on her face then actaully in her mouth though. Iwould put the cookies in and she would stand by the stove until the cookies were ready to come out. Could she really know what was in there cooking? I dont know, but she never stands by the stove like that. We usually take plates around to our neighbors, but this time we kept them for ourselves. I didnt have the energy to make and decorate that many either! By the time we were through with them Rylee looked like an Easter Egg! She was content just playing in her chair with a bowl of frosting, so I cleaned up the kitchen... and then her!

My little Easter Egg

The best part of getting messy is the bath afterwards!

*DYING EGGS*

I didn't really know how Rylee was going to do with dying eggs, but it turned out okay. Chasey's dad and step-mom were in town too, so they got to do them with us. My mom was there too. Rylee was more interested in trying to shove a whole egg in her mouth, and playing in the dye. Maybe next year it will be more fun! When I was younger my brother Dustin would leave his eggs in the dye all day and all night! They were always the brightest colored eggs. I try to do that every year, but I dont have the patience! You can see towards the end of these pictures that Ry's mouth is blue. She kept pulling the eggs out of the dye and eating them.

Putting her egg in...

Trying to get her egg out again.

She cracks me up!

Its so hard to get a good picture of the three of us.

*EASTER EGG HUNT AT MY DADS*

My Dad and Karen had us up for an egg hunt and lunch the day before Easter. The weather wasnt that great, so we werent outside for very long. All the kids had so much fun hunting for their eggs. Rylee found one, sat down, and just watched everyone else run around! She's a pretty chill baby! We ate lunch, and just sat around visiting with everyone! It was a really fun day with the family!

I love this picture of my neice! She is one of the cutest babies!

Going egg hunting! I always love when the mountains have snow on them, and the grass is really green!

Crawling to her egg

She sat like this the whole time. I love her !

She picked this up and then dropped it. She wanted the one she found at first.

Not a very good picture of Rylee, but I think its so cute of MaKenna!

Sayla, Rylee, and MaKenna

Playing with Aunt Katie

I tried so hard to get a picture of her little Easter outfit... this is as good as I could get! She ripped off her polka dot flip flops as soon as she got out of her carseat!

All the cousins who were there.

The only family picture we got all weekend.

*EASTER*

I have just bought stuff for Easter for the past month, and thrown it into the closet. When we got everything out to put together baskets I realized I might have over done it! I ended up putting most of the stuff away for Ry's birthday.

We woke up Easter morning to 5 inches of snow! GRRRRRR! Easter isnt supposed to look like Christmas!

Even with the snow, the Easter Bunny found us!

I tried so hard to get a picture of Rylee's cute jamas before I put her to bed, but she wasnt having it! I had to sneak in and get her cute little cotton tail bum while she was sleeping!

I snuck a picture of the feet at breakfast!

We waited until Grandma Paula got to our house to take Ry in to see her basket. I didnt think she would be excited, but she immediately started smiling and laughing, and her new thing... growling/laughing. I put her down and she speed crawled over to the table. She didnt know where to start, so just started throwing grass.

There was so much going on that getting a good picture was almost impossible.

The grass kept her entertained all morning.

She loved her new gardening tools, and the eggs with candy in them...

her favorite was the chapstick!

Chasey with his loot from the E.B.

Even Grandma Paula got a little something!

After we all went through our baskets we had orange rolls and sausage. What a breakfast combination, right? It did taste really good though! What a great Easter morning!

My mom was telling Rylee about Peeps. She listened like it was really interesting.

Rylee's First Easter

Going to my moms for dinner. I wasnt about to put on winter clothes, so we took a stand and wore some spring clothes! Isn't Rylee's dress so cute?! My friend made it for her- I think it turned out so cute!!

Trying to get a picture of the whole dress!

I just cant take enough pictures of her!

It was also General Conference this weekend. I dont think I have stayed awake through all 4 sessions!

One last treat before bed !

Rylee was so tired by 7:00 tonight! We put her to bed, and within 2 minutes she was out cold! Thanks everyone for the WONDERFUL weekend!
