Easter

We had a fabulous Easter this year. We started it all on Saturday with the annual Easter Breakfast and egg hunt that our ward puts on. It was delicious and so wonderful to be able to see some friends. That afternoon we spent some time decorating eggs and goofing around and on Sunday the kids found their baskets and got to wear their new outfits. I have to say that my favorite part, however, was listening to Corbin's answer when asked why we celebrate Easter, "Jesus is alive again." 'Nuf said. Enjoy the pics!

Oh, but they are so adorable!



Too bad I can't get them both to look at the camera at the same time...


Despite the fact the she looks like she's holding something rancid, Mia did have fun gathering eggs.


I think it took Corbin all of 20 seconds to discover that the eggs were full of candy.


This picture illustrates why there was only one attempt at getting a picture of all three together-My obedient Chase, he was the only one willing to sit still for more than three seconds.


This year we decided to try something new, instead of dipping our eggs into dye we thought we'd try painting them.
We set up a table outside, hoping to keep the damage to a minimum.


Corbin really enjoyed it, although he had a hard time holding the eggs in his little hands and hated it if he got anything on them. He's seriously abnormal and freaks out of his hands get dirty. Don't ask me where he got that from!


Mia wasn't really into decorating the eggs but still liked to be in the middle of things.


Chase is a master decorator and made some very interesting eggs.


Denver just likes me to take pictures of him with that cheesy grin. Oh wait, maybe he really doesn't like his picture taken but it makes me laugh and that's why he does it-he'd do anything to make me happy.


And here is the proof that I was actually present this year...


This next set of pictures were taken before church on Easter morning. I gotta admit that were we ready and had a few minutes to spare so I thought I'd try and get a couple of shots.
Okay, so maybe Mia's not thrilled but at least all three of them are in the picture.

Well, she's not looking at the camera but at least she looks happier.


Victory!!! She's happy and she's facing forward!


I love the looks on their faces, "Mom, really, let's be done."

Or how about, "Mom I know that I look devastatingly handsome and all grown-up, so I'll stick my tongue out to remind you that I'm still your little boy."


I like to call this one "Surprised faces".


And the final victory-my beautiful family, minutes before we hopped in the car and made it to church-ON TIME!!!! Next year maybe we'll attempt to capture a picture with me in it also. We'll just have to see.
