Easter 2013

We had a great Easter weekend! Dave got Thursday and Friday off and spent most of it studying, but we enjoyed him home anyway. Friday Dave worked on my car all day and hopefully fixed whatever was leaking all over the driveway. Addison worked along side her dad with some little toy tools and her play car. Her hands were freezing and her face bright red when they came inside. I can't wait for warmer weather that was the happiest Addison has been in a long time! We squeezed in dying some eggs that night before bed. Most of the dye ended up on Addison's hands and face! Saturday was the ward egg hunt. The primary was in charge so I went early to set up. That was the earliest I have been ready and out the door since the new year. It was a little bit of a struggle, but I managed to get through the day. We had doughnuts, muffins and juice for everyone after the egg hunt. There was a great turnout and no snow so we got really lucky! Addison did a lot better at this egg hunt and knew what to do. We came home and passed out while Dave went to a guy movie with some buddies. It was a sunny afternoon so Dave washed the cars and I cleaned for the first time in a long time:) We ended the day by getting milk shakes at a local diner. When we got in the car Addison shouted, "Ice Cream!" We have made a few ice cream runs lately and I think developed a bad habit for Addison! Easter morning we got Addison up and handed her a bucket to go look for her eggs. She was pretty cute when she would find one she would say, "Looky here!" She found a giant coloring book and her very own froggy umbrella. Her favorite was the Minnie Mouse chapstick that the Easter Bunny thought was a good idea (2 of them are already in the trash!). Grandma and Grandpa Michael sent new playdough and some fun books. Grammie and Papa sent some new books, a Peter Rabbit movie that she loved, a pretty spring church coat and some reese m&ms that Dave ate in one sitting. Addison wore a pretty smocked blue dress that her Aunties and I wore when we were young. We had the Quinn's over for an Easter feast that was absolutely delicious. Juana make a carrot cake that I am still dreaming about! We are blessed this Easter as we reflect on the sacrifice that our Savior made on our behalf. When we were telling Addison the story of the resurrection she started to cry when we said Jesus died. When we showed her a short video of Jesus resurrected she was happy again:) We feel very blessed to be together this year as a family and even more excited that next year we will have a new little one!
