Easter

We asked the Easter Bunny to come on Saturday morning this year. Jeremy, Spencer, and Noah had been assigned to go to Randolph on Sunday with the YM and serve at the Arizona Training Center for severely disabled individuals. So we happily made the change to Saturday. After seeing the movie "Hop" recently we laughed and laughed as the kids picked up their "rabbit pellets" on our traditional jellybean hunt.

Jacob and Isaac got new bike helmets. Jacob's looks like he is being eaten by a monster.

This was also the last day of long hair for the boys. I told them they could grow it out until the Easter Pageant was over (for the "authentic Jerusalem hairstyle-look"). Nana was itching to get her scissors on their hair and she got the go-ahead after the final night of Pageant.

Isaac couldn't even wait to get dressed to go try out his new helmet.

My mom and dad, along with Emily and her family came to visit and to see the Pageant. Eliza posed, reluctantly, in front of my glorious hollyhocks! They were so beautiful this year!

All of us, including Nana and Papa, went to Rumbi's for lunch (oh, yeah!).

Rumbi's food rocks! And the company wasn't bad, either.

Before we left for our last night of Easter Pageant, we colored Easter eggs with our cousins. We got really fancy this year with glitter and stickers and crayons and all kinds of decorating techniques!

Even our neighbor, Richy, came over to get in on the action.

What a fun day. Happy Easter, everyone!
