Easter started for us on Friday, April 22! Craig and his youth had a temple trip, so we packed up Charlotte's Easter dress for pictures I'd hoped would be beautiful. I am no photographer, however; so out of about 50 photo's, I only got a few good ones. It was a really nice, albeit hot, day at the temple and Craig and his youth had a really great experience. Afterwards, Craig took me by the big outlet malls. The shopping wasn't so great, but walking around with my sweet husband and our beautiful daughter was wonderful. Earlier on Friday, Charlotte got a couple shots they didn't have when we got her last round. She did so well at the Dr. office where we discovered she is in the 95% for height, and the 25% for weight! She'll be tall like her daddy and skinny like her mama (so everybody has been saying!).

Saturday, April 23, Charlotte and I went over to our good friend's house: Holly and Aubrey Ard to dye eggs! We had such a great time! Holly was genius enough to lay down a plastic table cloth and good thing too, because Charlotte's favorite part was flinging the dye EVERYWHERE! After we dyed eggs, Charlotte and Aubrey got to help decorate a lamb cake with coconut. Holly was so great with the girls and they looked like they were having the best time (and probably were since she let them stick their fingers in the cake and eat the icing!). Then we all had some cup cakes to celebrate her son, Lincoln's, 10th birthday! Charlotte and Aubrey really enjoyed that and really weren't TOO messy!

Saturday night, Charlotte and I finished putting her Easter basket together for the easter bunny. We put the grass in the basket and Charlotte chose an egg for the easter bunny. Really she tried to choose them all, but cracked them all in the process. Then we put her down to bed and the real fun began!

Sunday, April 24, 2011 was Easter Sunday! Charlotte woke up excited that the easter bunny came and hid her basket. She was able to follow the tracks and had so much fun looking for her basket! She had even more fun after she found it and got to eat a couple jelly beans while daddy made us a yummy Easter Breakfast!

| Ready for Church After church we went over to Holly and Aubrey's for a delicious roast dinner and Charlotte and her friends (and the big kids) got to hunt easter eggs. Then, they hid the easter eggs and we had to find them! It was a fun tradition of Holly's family and we are so grateful to have friends we can spend our holiday's with while we are so far from home. |
she is so beautiful in that white dress. I always heard that the difference between a good photographer and a poor one is just lots and lots of pictures. you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! Thanks for all the pictures! Say hello to Holly for me the next time you see her. :)
ReplyDeleteI think her pictures turned out so cute! You did a great job. She looks like such a big girl with her hair pulled back. I'm glad you guys had a fun easter.
ReplyDeleteWhen I look at the pictures of you, it makes my back hurt! LOL, guess my pregnancy is too fresh in my mind ;) I don't even realize the full strain pregnancy puts on my body until the baby comes out, and then I realize I feel so much better and free! I'm excited for you to feel the same. Then you can chase after that Charlotte more easily ;)
