Easter Festivities 2012

Well, those of you that know me, know that I love to celebrate the holidays and do festive things.  So, Easter is one of those times that I like to do the fun, festive things, and also remember what the holiday is really about.

Our weekend started out with coloring eggs.  Here we are getting ready.  Not sure why Kendrick only has one of his Elmo slippers on?  He usually does that--takes one shoe off and not the other?





This picture is blury, but I wanted a close up!
 Kendrick was having a good time, but he wanted to grab the eggs with his hands and I think he wanted to taste the colored water!


 Being silly and also getting tired!

The next day on Saturday, April 7, we went down to Nephi to attend the annual Jackson Family Easter Egg hunt.  It was held at Aunt Lisa's house/yard.  We always have a good time hunting for our eggs and seeing all of our family.
 Kendrick had a good time going down the slide.
 Looking for eggs.


 More egg hunting.
 Kendrick had a good time playing with this ball too.
 Blowing bubbles - another favorite thing to do!
 Chasing bubbles!


 Chillin' with cousins in the back of Grandpa's truck.

Easter Sunday morning, before going to church, we had Kendrick find all of the Easter eggs that the Easter Bunny had left.
 He had a good time finding the eggs!
 Of course, he wanted to stop and eat the candy right away!
 Notice the blue around his lips--gotta love malted eggs!


 Love his reaction to the Elmo that was in his Easter basket!
 He loved it!
 This is what the Easter Bunny brought to Kendrick.
 He really liked his Elmo, but he also just wanted to eat the candy inside the eggs!

 So, we had breakfast instead.

 Kendrick loves pancakes too!
We had a great Easter!  It was a fun weekend.  Later that day we went out to Alpine to celebrate Nick and Sophie's birthdays.  More pics of that in the next post!
