Easter 2010


Easter was great this year. I think Eliza had four egg hunts that she went to. We definitely got our dollar's worth out of her Walmart bucket. We were hoping she'd be a little more aggressive by the last hunt but she is always so timid. She's pretty happy with 1 or 2 eggs and doesn't like to fight the other kids for any more.

Even better was that the stock market is closed on Good Friday and Matt only had to work for a couple hours in the morning so we got to have dad home for an almost 3 day weekend.

We got Eliza and Jackson each a present for their baskets but we made sure and talked about why we celebrate Easter. Eliza loves talking and learning about Jesus.

I love this picture. I bet you can't guess which present was from me and which was from Matt.


Jackson got in on the action too.



This was our first year dyeing Easter eggs. It was really fun and now we get to eat slightly colored egg salad sandwiches all week.






There's not a lot of Jackson here because we tried to plan the potential spilling/choking hazards around his naps. But here is Eliza showing what a good sister she is. When I was getting Jackson dressed for the day she said she wanted to rock-a-bye with him and read him a story.


I love them so much. And I love this time of year. If it could just decide to be spring, that would be even better. Happy Easter!
