Happy Easter!

Now that it is Easter, and the last post I did was Christmas, I thought I'd better get around to updating the blog. We made it up to Idaho this weekend to spend Easter with my parents and my sister and her husband. One of the traditions of my family is the usual decoration of the eggs, but then on Easter we take them to a hill and roll them to see whose egg goes the farthest. Sometimes the eggs start to peel as they roll until there is just the yoke that is left going down the hill. It has always been a fun competition for my siblings and I, and Addie seemed to thoroughly enjoy herself this Easter. So here we are dying the eggs.



Of course Addie ended up with multi-colored hands by the time we were done.

Here is the end result, nothing fancy, but we had fun making them.


My parents have a little toy house with people and furniture, and Addie had to bring them to the dining table when she was ready to eat so that they could eat too.

Here we are lined up to roll our eggs. The hill we picked this year ended up not being very steep so the eggs only rolled about two feet. Once Addie got the hang of what we were doing she just started throwing one egg right after the other out of her basket.




Addie pulled a couple of the eggs apart to see what was on the inside, but it wasn't candy!


It was fun to have her able to participate more with the holiday festivities this year. Of other news I am 5 months along with our little baby boy. So we are excited have a new addition to our family come the end of July. We'll talk to Addie about her baby brother and I think she is starting to understand a little that she is not going to be the only child anymore. Also, Aaron just got offered a job as an Assistant Principal for a couple Elementary schools. We do not know which schools he will be at yet, but we are thrilled that he got the job.
