Easter Outfits and Tulip Festival

Grandma Kelly, brought an Easter package when she came in town for Dan's graduation (more on that later). She filled it with candy, Easter crafts, and this darling dress she MADE! :) Thanks Gma!

This is the only picture (so far) of the Easter outfit she brought for Ben. I love little boys in sweater vests!
And these are the Easter outfits we bought for our kids. I know they don't match. There were just cute and Spring-y.


Aunt Lara was out playing with Kenna and cousin Katie before Easter Dinner with Dan's family. She had the camera and was trying to capture the "perfect" shot. I think she got it! :)
And no, Katie's not strangling McKenna, just cute hugs!
McKenna and I went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point with Dan's mom and sister Brynn + kids. I only got cell phone pictures that day. Sorry. The gardens were breathtaking!
The fountain in the "Secret Garden" area.
With cousins Joe and Katie
And here are some random pictures, just because.


I think his sad face is pretty cute too.

More Egg Hunts

I'm a little behind in blogging post-Easter events, so these pictures will have minimal captions.

Dan's trying to snag a picture of Kenna before she started the hunt with all her cousins at Grandma's house.
And she's off...

Can you tell who took these pictures? Must be someone tall. :)
Some sidewalk chalk, bubbles, a candle for mommy, stuffed dinosaur for Ben, and a rubber band airplane for Dan. :) Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Webster!

We were pretty excited this was the first official visit from the Easter Bunny to our house. So we probably took a few more pictures than we will in the future. Here's the set up he left:

Candy and eggs all over her dollhouse...
on the rocks...
everywhere!


The Easter Bunny also brought Kenna a new Dora book.
Easter morning








We are also so thankful to be able also celebrate the true meaning of Easter- the infinite Atonement of our Savior Jesus Christ! We're still trying to think of ways to teach a 2 year old about the Atonement. Any ideas? :)

Eggs of Color (Get it? It's politically correct. :))

This was McKenna's first experience dying Easter eggs and she loved letting her creative juices flow. She also loved trying to drink the dye. Don't worry, it's non-toxic. I read the box. :)
Such concentration

Choosing stickers, tongue out and everything.


She liked smelling the eggs. Don't know why.
Finished products and her cute little dyed hands.
Notice the green egg for "Ben" too. :)

More Easter Fun!

This Easter Egg hunt was at Dan's brother's work.
All ready to go, sleepy face and all.


(This was from last year's hunt. *Sniff* She's grown so much. :))
This year's success!
Ben enjoyed himself too.

(Remember this from last year too?)
Here's our attempt this time around. She's sizing him up.

And this was our attempt at a cousin picture. The other four children all belong to Dan's brother, David.
Good times!
