Happy Easter!!!


Happy Easter! We had a good weekend and a great Sunday. Our morning started off with daddy making special pancakes for Easter

We got ready for church - yes church - we tried a new one this time and it was a little better than the previous churches we have visited. We also found out our neighbors go there - so it can't be that bad. I wish I could have taken a picture of Heidi holding the song book mimicking the singers... quite entertaining.

Heidi modeling her Easter dress from Grandma Babs and Grandpa Darrell... I think she looks quite good in yellow, just like Chris.

After church - it was time for an Easter egg hunt! The hunt goes a little slower when you don't have competition from cousins. Heidi would focus on one egg and skip 10 eggs to get that one egg. But eventually she gathered all 74 of them.
There may not have been competition but there was still determination.

Heidi showing off her candy loot!

For lunch we made little pizzas and Heidi was the perfect helper. She loves her pepperoni!


I asked Heidi to take a picture with daddy - this is what I got.

Heidi ready to open her three Easter baskets - she already opened the one from Grandpa Jeff and Nana - so it was just our basket, Grandma Babs and Grandpa Darrell's basket and Grandma and Grandpa Gonzales' basket. So I'm thinking - three baskets - she is a kid - we will fly through this no problem. It took 2 hours to open the baskets - TWO HOURS! She wanted to open each item - play with it - take a picture with it and then maybe open the next item. Both myself and Chris at some point fell asleep during the process!

After the LONG gift opening session - we all needed to wake up and Heidi was on a sugar high - so we decided to fly our $.99 kite... SHE LOVED IT! And we realized we have a perfect backyard for it - who knew!

Even though we didn't have any family around - it was a great Easter - thank you to all the grandparents for providing the baskets - Heidi loves everything!
