Easter 2009

This Easter was filled with activities. On Saturday we went to the ward easter egg hunt at a local park. They had 1000 eggs hidden through out the park. (I know how many because I helped put candy in some of them). Lilliana had a great time collecting eggs and even had a young man helping her out :) Mark on the other hand would not collect any eggs. I even tried putting some in his basket and he literally threw them out! Afterwards the kids played on the playground for a bit. It was a very nice morning.

Sunday after church we tried to get pics of the kids, but alas Mark wouldn't let me put him down. So I only have a pic of Lilliana in her Easter dress. After church we left to go to Hollister to have Easter dinner with our family. Visiting with family is always lots of fun. After dinner we had another easter egg hunt. The kids couldn't wait to get out the door and get started. Even the adults joined in (some of the eggs had $, and gift cards in them). Lilliana and her cousin Myra banded together and searched for eggs together. As you can see in the pics Lilliana is carrying a huge laundry basket to collect eggs in. She and Myra had that basket FILLED. Mark finally got into the collecting eggs. After all the eggs had been found we still hadn't found the grand prize egg of $20. Come to find out my cousin Sammi had given some eggs that morning to a friend who had forgotten to put some eggs together for her kids. Guess where that $20 egg went? You guessed it her friend's little boy found it! :) We had a great time with the family.
