Eggstatic about Easter!

Well we had an eggcelent Easter this year! It started with Lydia wearing her new Easter dress to Church the Sunday before Easter (due to conference!) She loved her "Bue" dress!

Being a little princess (ha ha ha!)

While I was getting ready Chris was watching Lydia and she took off on the hardwood floor and slipped and landed literally on her face. It was so sad, it instantly bruised up and looked like she had quite the shiner. This was later that night and the pictures really don't do it justice, it is barley starting to fade.

I didn't get pictures of all the easter egg hunts that Lydia participated in, but she got it this year and it was a blast. We had one at our neighbors then of course we had our own Easter Sunday morning.

She loved finding them in her "kitchen" it is her all time favorite toy so to see eggs in it was so eggciting!

Lydia could've cared less about the candy (it is still sitting in her basket in the pantry) but she was stoked about the "MONEY!!!" Here she is putting it directly into her piggy bank!

Every time she would find an egg she would yell "Mama or Dada look and egg!" then she would run over and throw it in her basket and jump up and down for joy! It was such a fun thing to see!

The Easter Bunny knew that Lydia has been a good girl this year so she got some fun toys that she has been wanting. Play-dough, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, coloring books and a new magna-doodle..for church!

Later that day we had another Easter egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa Knudsen's...Lydia loved playing with her cousins.

I think they are going to be best of friends when they get older!

Lydia did love malt eggs, and she would stuff as many as she could in her mouth. We would make her spit them out and two seconds later she would have more in her mouth...sneaky little girl!

She also had an easter egg hunt at Nana and Grandpa Hardman's needless to say she got totally spoiled this Easter. It was so much fun seeing her get excited, but it was also a really nice time to just remember why it is we celebrate easter. I made Chris watch "The 10 Commandments" for the first time. If you haven't ever seen it and have like 4 hours to kill I would totally recommend it. Also we had the chance to see my mom perform in "Handel's Messiah" the week before Easter, it was a spiritual experience that truly set the mood for Easter! I feel so blessed to have the gospel in my life, and to know that death isn't the end! I hope ya'll had a great Easter as well!
