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!

Spring Prom!

A young woman in our ward planned an Adult Spring Prom for one of her Personal Progress projects. The night before, I told Dan I was a little disappointed he hadn't asked me yet. The next morning I found this on our garage. :)
My reponse- sent via cell phone picture message. :)
Lame I know, but we didn't do all that creative asking and answering in VA.
The dancing! (Made me realize how out of shape I am...)

Eating and visiting
Ben came too and loved being passed around. Dan and I especially loved we could bring him and then didn't really have to worry about him at all while we were there.
There was a drawing for Prom King and Queen. Congrats Novaks!
I love my date! :)

Neighborhood Hunt

Get ready for a lot of Easter blog posts! :)
McKenna went on FOUR Easter Egg Hunts. Yes, probably too many for a two and half-year-old, but we recycled lots of the candy and have already given some away too.

Our neighborhood hosted the first.
Doesn't she look ready?



I liked this hunt the best. Each child was limited to finding only 12 eggs.

Can you find McKenna? Almost the bottom row, light pink jacket, fifth from the left.
Yum!
