April Fools and Easter Pictures 2010

APRIL FOOLS
Abby and Maddy really enjoyed April Fools day. They thought it was especially fun to put their clothes on backwards and they got a big kick out of fooling Daddy with some sour lemonade.


EASTER
Here are the girls coloring Easter eggs. After a messy experience last year we decided to let the kids color the eggs with crayons and left dying the eggs to the parents.

A very happy Abby on Easter morning!
Nathan with his Easter bucket.
Maddy really liked her new sunglasses which she insists on wearing everywhere. She likes to put them on and says, "I superstar!"

The superstar bunnies together.
Abby looking for Easter eggs--unfortunately Saturday was so cold the girls had to look for their eggs in their winter gear.
Maddy found her first egg and decided to sit down and eat it right away. We don't think she quite got the concept of an Easter egg hunt.

The girls in their matching Easter dresses from Grandma.
We tried to do all the Easter egg and bunny stuff on Saturday so that we could spend Easter Sunday thinking about the true meaning of Easter. We spent Easter Sunday watching General Conference and had a nice dinner together. We are grateful for Jesus Christ and the hope His resurrection brings.
