Easter Weekend

This Easter was very fun. Now that Julia is older, she was really into the whole egg hunt and Easter bunny thing. I did try to explain the true meaning of the holiday to her, she didn't really grasp it. Maybe next year.
We started off the weekend with an egg hunt at one of the local rec centers. They did a really good job, and had cookie decorating, egg coloring, face painting and a bounce house.

Then Saturday night we decorated eggs for the Easter bunny to hide. Julia really liked this.The next morning the Easter Bunny had come and left some fun toys, new swimsuits and eggs for the kids. And he hid the ones we decorated. Julia started strong, but about half way through, she just layed on the floor. I think the Easter Bunny overdid it with the eggs. You can see how full her basket is already...
Julia and Mason in their Easter best. This picture cracks me up, because as most of you know due to complaining in past posts, Julia is really hard to get a good picture of. I have a hard time getting her to smile, look at the camera and open her eyes all at once. I usually only get only one or two of the three. Anyway, in this particular picture, she had been closing her eyes in all the pictures, so I said, "Open your eyes nice and big like Disney Princess eyes!" and she did. Needless to say, a little unnatural looking.
Since our church building is right next to the temple, we decided to take a few shots of the kids. The grounds are beautiful, and so are our kids, of course, but the pictures weren't as well as I hoped, since they were both tired after church.I was able to get a really nice shot of Julia. She looks so sweet and innocent. Looks can be deceiving...
