Happy Easter

Here are some pictures from our Easter activities this year. Last year on Easter I got sick and we spent a good part of the day in the ER...and it was my birthday...so this year was better. We're happy to have baby Grant with us this year! Here are the kids Easter baskets...waiting to be discovered. Grant got a stuffed chick and a crinkly baby toy. He wasn't too interested in them...he's still too little for that...so Anna agreed to take care of them until he was big enough. She's been conscientiously carrying them around in her empty Easter basket along with her Easter spoils.

Here's Anna with her basket.

And here's what we were greeted with outside on Easter morning. Snow. It's almost May!!
So much for spring.

We had our Easter egg hunt in the basement due to inclement weather outside. Here are the kids getting ready.

It was so hard to get a good picture of them looking for eggs. They moved so fast!!

And filled up those baskets before we knew it!

Matthew gave Anna a few of his to make it more even. He's such a nice brother.

Here are the kids helping me make bunny buns.
I gave Anna one piece of dough that entertained her the whole time.

Matthew was very helpful making the bunny shapes. He did a great job!

The little chubby bunnies are the ones he made. They tasted great!

I made the frosting too thick this year, but couldn't be bothered to fix it. It was a miracle I got any Easter things done with Grant attached to me 24/7. He likes to be held.

I tried to put him down in the swing for a while. It didn't last.

Scott made buttermilk rolls for dinner and was so sweet to let the kids "help" him. They love to help with any cooking, but, as you can imagine, aren't always all that helpful. I like having them help, but Scott isn't really used to their brand of helpfulness, so I thought it was nice that he was so patient with them. They were so excited to make the "knot rolls" as they called them, and very proud of the ones they made.

And here's some of our Easter dinner: Tangerine glazed ham, scalloped potatoes, the buttermilk rolls and strawberry salad. Again, it was a miracle that this got done. Scott helped a lot with dinner. Thanks Scott...we'll miss his helpfulness since he is going to be gone for work this week and several weeks over the next two months or so.
I hope everyone had a good Easter!
