Easter 2011


So our Easter morning started out bright and early...

The kids smiling before they got to get into their Easter baskets.

We have more pictures like this than of Alden looking at the camera and smiling.

Our plans for Easter were turned upside down after a visit by Clair to the Dermatologist. Clair had this rash that was not going away and a mild fever for 2 weeks. We thought it was Roseola but it turned out to be "5th's" disease. It was not too big of deal, other than Clair had been craby, but she just could not be near any pregnant women. Unfortunately at the Richardson Easter, it was also a baby shower for Michelle's cousin Heather (who just had her baby boy Noah last week!). The last thing we would want to have happen is the baby get a virus inutero. So we ended up staying around Plattsmouth and going to Debbie's Church.

Clair got a bunny from Grandma and Grandpa McKnight that played music she was excited.

We have normally dyed eggs at the Richardson gatherings, so Michelle took matters into her own hands. I thought she was brave or crazy, one of the two.

The egg hunt was fun despite our trio being the only hunters.

Clair learned how to pick up an egg!!!!!!!!

Look at that focus!

Sam is all smiles with a mountain of candy.

Michelle's mom stopped by with Easter gifts that evening to cap off our Easter fun. The kids were thrilled because they had their eye on a few things from Lowe's when they went to visit her a few weeks ago. The girls got Princess watering cans and shovels and Alden got a Cars watering can and shovel, as well as some coins for their piggy banks. :)

Hunting Some EGGS!

On the Saturday before Easter we were invited to the Linda & Carl Glup's Egg hunt. The kids have always had a wonderful time at their hunt.
Clair was good at spotting the eggs, but not so good at picking them up. Here she displays her skill of stopping 2 feet away and pointing.

Finally Ruby Campin got tired of Clair pointing at it, so she picked it up and put it in Clair's basket.

Alden was off to the races. He also slid into many of the eggs to pick them up, and we would say "safe" like he was sliding into home plate.

Samantha was a fast picker-upper. If only picking up toys in the house was as fun as an egg hunt we could have a spotless house.

Alden searching for more. He said "I have to look on their level"

Alden wanted a picture with the Easter bunny right after he got done asking "who's in there" to the bunny. They both posed the same way! It was too cute.

Linda had invited some real bunnies to the party. Kim & Derek brought out Pancake and Popcorn. The kids all loved petting the bunnies.

Clair - "meeting" the Easter bunny. Just like at Disney World she screamed and cried. This is as close as she got (but that was only because Michelle forced her near him).

A Group photo of all the hunters and Linda and Carl in the middle. It was a great day and lots of fun. Samantha and Alden had a blast we are really fortunate to be invited to such a great event.

Easter Afternoon/Evening








We went to Doug's parents' house for Easter lunch. Aunt Jodi, Auntie Debra and her friends - Janelle, Robin, & Michael also came. The kids also opened their Easter gifts from Grandma & Grandpa McKnight. After lunch we had an egg hunt in the back yard and then the adults blew bubbles at the kids. The were GIANT bubbles! :) We headed home for summer and my dad met us for Easter Dinner and the kids opened their Easter gifts from him. Clair also had her 1st Vegetable Baby Food - Carrots!

Easter Morning











We woke up early on Easter morning and went to auntie Debra's 8:30am church service in Omaha. The girls were all dressed up in their beautiful dresses from auntie Debra and Alden wore his tie that auntie Debra gave him. The love going to Debra's church on Easter Sunday because they have beautiful kites that they fly above the congregation! After church, we went back to our house and the Easter Bunny had left some goodies for the kids while we were in church. We attempted to take a picture of just the kids, and you'll see how that turned out! Samantha got some flip flops from the Easter Bunny as well as a some sunglasses, my little pony, a water bottle for bike rides this summer, and lots of candy. Alden got some sandals, sunglasses, pirate water bottle, hot wheel cars, and lots of candy! Clair got a baby stroller that she can push around the house when she starts to learn to walk in 6-9 months, swimsuit, pacifiers and lots of baby food!

Clair Meets the Easter Bunny!



While we got Easter pictures taken at the mall last week, we took a quick trip to see the Easter Bunny! Clair seemed to love him! :) Alden on the other hand....didn't. We did make progress with Alden though. He sat next to Samantha who was next to the Easter Bunny. So, I guess the Easter Bunny is less scary than Santa Clause because he wouldn't even go near Santa at Christmas time!
