Easter-Finally

Easter this year was spent with Robbie's parents. I don't have a cd port on my laptop, so I don't have all the photos from Easter but here are a few. We went down on Friday after getting our stuff from my parents house loaded onto a U Haul. It was really hard to say goodbye to my family and the place we had lived for almost 2 years. We had a lot of good times there, but we were excited to start out on our new adventure.

We were all looking forward to spending some more time with Robbie's parents before we moved too. When we got there on Friday, Rob and his dad unloaded the U Haul, and he, his dad, and even I helped start loading the big moving truck. We returned the U Haul, ate dinner, and loaded some more stuff onto the main truck. It was a long day, but mostly for Rob.

Saturday we woke up to our last winter snow storm. After Rob's mom went to work, and some people from Rob's parents ward showed up to help Robbie load the main truck, the girls and I went to a friends house to get out of the way. We finally made it there after almost going off the road 3 times, and the girls got to dye and decorate easter eggs and go on a easter egg hunt while at our friends. Just about the time we were done there Robbie had finished loading the moving truck, so the girls and I went and picked him up and we went out and did things as a family.

After Rob's mom got home that night from work we ate dinner quickly and then the fun began. The girls were excited to dye easter eggs again, and had a lot of fun doing it. We had to cook an extra set of eggs because they were having so much fun (and they kept dropping the eggs and cracking them).

Georgia had so much fun-so much!!

After we were done with dying eggs the girls had a bath and I put the girls hair in curlers. Georgia even allowed me to put her hair in curlers-I was so excited!!

The next morning the girls climbed onto our bed and anxiously asked about every 5 seconds whether or not they could go searching for their Easter baskets (the Easter bunny hides the baskets instead of eggs, a tradition the Easter bunny did with my family growing up to prevent missing hard boiled eggs rotting and stinking everything up). They couldn't wait for mommy and daddy and grandma to be ready!

After some searching, they each found their baskets. I can't remember where all of them were hidden, but I think Georgia's was hidden in plain sight in the hallway, Grace's was hidden on a kitchen chair, and Gwen's was hidden on the computer desk chair-out of sight. They had so much fun going through their baskets!

After church we took a lot of pictures. We took some at church and some at Robbie's Nana's house, trying to get some good Easter pictures. Here are the results:

Our family. We had a wonderful Easter dinner later that night and just relaxed and did some last minute packing, because we were leaving early the next morning. We had a great Easter with Rob's parents, and it was hard to leave them as well. We sure miss all of our family and are so grateful that we had those wonderful 2 years to spend with them.
