Easter 2012

Easter can be rainy around these parts, but April has been shaping up to be a beautiful month in the NW and that weekend was no exception. Sunny skies and sunny faces greeted us for a little easter egg hunt. Annie takes her egg gathering serious and had put on her game face even before the kids were set loose to find their treasures. I tried to encourage baskets on all of the kids heads but some were less willing than others...oh well.

Annie and one of her friends combing through the blooming daffodils that grow on the western side of our house.

Joseph was content with this oversized "egg" that he bandied around the back yard...

That weekend also afforded the first time to crack open the old sandbox...for Joseph this was a whole new landscape and of course something to be touched, tossed and tasted. (yuck!)

Annie was making some of her famous Strawberry soup and insisted on other partaking in her creation. Fortunately she is ok with pretend eating, as long as we let her know how good the soup is.

Sunday afforded another beautiful day and another easter hunt.

Our pretty pensive princess...a wonderful day was had by all.

More pictures coming soon. Enjoy the Spring and get those flowers and veggies in the ground...grow grow grow!
