Scenes from Easter Weekend. . .

(Lots of scenes.  And some of the pictures are "grainy."  I need a new camera.  Or at least read the manual for mine and learn how to use it better.  But this post isn't about that. . .   :) 

Rorie's 3rd Birthday Princess Party:

(Saturday morning.  Celebrating a little early since Meg and Rorie are leaving before her actual birthday.  :(

 Finding the Easter Baskets:

(The Easter Bunny hides the baskets on Saturday, and the kiddies have to follow the clues the Bunny leaves to find them.  It's a fun tradition, and this year they ended up in the shower.  Nice.  Love Ben-Ben's mouth full of candy.  And notice Caleb's little basket on the floor with the baby food.  :)

Surprise party for a friend:

(Yummy food, good conversation, great music, unbelievable desserts, and no kids!  Thanks guys! The birthday girl requested no pictures. . . and I was kind enough to oblige, but only because it was her birthday.  hehe.  Oh, and notice in the last picture I'm holding up my finger and thumb a few inches apart. . . showing the size of my c-section scar. . . 'cause someone asked.  :)

Sunday Morning Easter Pictures: 

(Love the kiss for Ben-Ben from Anna. . . and the picture of all three. :)

This was Caleb's first time to church.  What an exciting day!  He got a little overwhelmed at the end of Sacrament Meeting, but mostly did well.  Now, if only his older brother had been so good.  Ben-Ben was in rare form that day.  Too much Easter, perhaps?  :) 

Easter Dinner with Gramma Susan and Grampa Dewey:

Easter Baskets at the Rayhorns, and sweet cousin pics:

(Love the group hug with all four.  So cute. . . and even unprompted! :)

Easter Egg Hunt at Gram Melissa and Grampa Chuck:

What a fun, and busy weekend.  And this is even leaving out another birthday party Anna attended on Saturday (bringing the total to three), some fun quality time hanging out at Beth and Stuarts, and probably a few other things I'm forgetting.  As is my style, I included so many, many pictures.  (But notice how I barely wrote anything?!  That's good for me.  hehe.)  For all our friends and family who were not close enough to celebrate with us on this beautiful, joyful holiday, we missed you!  And I hope you were able to feel a little bit like you were here with us.
