Easter 2010

I'm a week late with this post...as usual.  I just can't seem to keep up lately.  Anyway, we were able to celebrate Easter with family and we had a great time.  On Saturday night Lily had her very own Easter egg hunt at Ma and Pa Mike's house.  We hid eggs for her in their backyard and she found almost everyone on her own!  We put jellybeans in some of the eggs and nothing in the rest.  Lily would find an egg, shake it, open it up if it had something in it, eat it and continue on...if she shook it and the egg was empty she threw it aside!  Smart girl!  She had a ton of fun.  After the hunt she came inside to find two big Easter baskets just for her.  She had one waiting from Ma and Pa Mike and one from Mommy and Daddy.  No candy yet this year...just raisins and fruit snacks, and clothes, and movies, and toys, and stuffed animals, and you name it she got it.  March Madness was still on so of course we had to eat somewhere with big screen TV's.  We enjoyed a nice night and good pizza at MaMa's Pizza. 

Sunday morning we went to Church and then drove up to Sioux City to spend Easter with Jason's family at his brother's house.  We had a yummy Easter lunch and then the kids enjoyed an Easter egg hunt outside and a fun game of kickball.  Lily's cousin Justin helped her find her eggs.  She doesn't get to be around kids very often so it is always a treat for her to spend time with all of her cousins.  Lily's cousin Rachel celebrated her 11th birthday on Easter as well.  Lily enjoyed a big piece of her ice cream cake!

I took way too many pictures as usual, and I always have a hard time deciding which ones to post on her blog.  The dress Lily wore on Easter was Madison's dress when she was Lily's age.  I know the hat is a little outdated, but I still thought she looked pretty darn cute!
