Easter 2009

This year we did the traditional dying eggs, egg hunts, Easter baskets and Easter Morning Creaps.. 

The boys had so much fun coloring eggs, I gave them each a spoon to carefully dip the egg into the dye that if splashed will stain most everything it touches. 
But of course it was a lot more fun for them to drop the egg in from about an inch above the glass...  

On Saturday we went to Gunstock Ranch for the Big Easter Egg Hunt. Where the Easter bunny rides in on a horse and the pasture is full of eggs! There are also horse rides, goat petting area, and ponies.  Of course the animals were Branson's favorite part of the whole morning. Just so you know that is NOT mud on his shoes!!!!
They split the kids into age groups so Aunty Solo took Branson and our good buddy Alani took the other two, and I ran back and forth taking pictures and getting "mud" squished between my toes!
Alani and the boys!!
Branson was so excited, but I am not sure he knew for what.. haha
Thanks Aunty for all the help on finding eggs and all the great pictures!!!
So my least Favorite thing about holidays growing up is having to wait until the parents are ready for you to enter the room, so they can take pictures and video of your every move and excitement... So this is exactly what happens at our home. Every Holiday the boys will sleep upstairs with Solo so they cannot see or hear what is going on downstairs. Then after Brandon and I have woken up and got the cameras ready they are allowed to come down... So here they are waiting so patiently on the stairs..... 
After locating their basket that the Easter Bunny left it was time to see what was inside!!!
We were so blessed Easter morning to share this special day with Good Friends. Thank you to Vanessa, Lucas, Everton, Pri, Alani and of course Solo for getting up early to join in the Easter Bunny Excitement... I have added the link to the rest of the pictures!!! (EASTER 2009)
