What a great Easter. We were woken up early, before the sun came up, by a little girl munching the ears off her rabbit dripping chocolate down her jammies. She was excited and wanted to share. In those early morning hours I heard giggles and running and excited voices, by the time I cracked my eyes open there was a little pile of chocolate on my nightstand that was "shared" with me. Such sweet littles I have :)
We had breakfast and a bit of lazy morning. I didn't have much cooking to do because we had left overs from the nights party ready for our evening meal. I did make a jell-o and then a salad after church but the rest just had to be heated up, or placed on the table.
We had a beautiful musical number and several very good talks at church. Haylee made Lucy the cutest Easter treat! I have to get the recipe :)
After church we took some quick pictures. Ate dinner. Played outside, where unfortunately H twisted her ankle. We don't think it's broken but she is home today resting it :(, she was trying for the perfect attendance award this year and hasn't missed a day yet so this was a big deal. Then read the last two chapters of Mark together and talked about the Resurrection.I also enjoyed several wonderful phone calls. We talked to Grandma and Papa on Skpe and got to hear about their adventures. I chatted with Dani while watching Amazing Race with S and J and they chatted and laughed second person! But the best call was from Anna. She's pregnant!! Yeah!!! I am so thrilled and happy for her. What wonderful Easter news!
This is a big baby year for our family Em had little Natalia in Jan. Dani and Greg are expecting Ziggs in August and now A3 will be arriving in Dec!! I wonder if she'll have a boy or girl? We have a very girl family. Dad had 3 brothers and 2 sisters. Two of the boys died as infants. The two girls had 1 and 2 sons but Dad and his brother had mostly girls. Laurent had 3 daughters. Dad had 6 daughters and 2 sons. Of those 2 sons one has a daughter and the other no children. I have 5 daughters and 1 son. MSV has two and two. Em has a girl. That makes the grand kid count 9 girls and 3 boys and great grands 1 girl. I think Anna will have a boy, but either would be very welcome!
another fun baby addition our cousin Allison, who is Anna's birthday twin :) is also expecting!! Yeah!

Love the color coordinated Easter baskets!!
We need those girls somewhere! Every sister in my ward (there are 7 pregnant right now) are having boys. Another friend of ours is grandmother to 11 grandsons, and 2 granddaughters. She wants more girls!
How exciting for your sister, anna.
Your Easter baskets look so pretty.
Sounds like you had a wonderful day--hope H's ankle is o.k. So glad you got to talk to your parents.
Oh my goodness! Hooray for Anna! If we were a little closer maybe ours could be birthday twins/cousins too. Did I mention how much I love those Easter shots of your kids in the fields? Looks like you had a great one this year.
I'm glad you had a great Easter! I am so happy for Anna! So exciting! (You know that Dani and I are birthday twins- 1 year apart, right? so are Andrea and my dad March 5 and Jenna and Alisa Dec 14-so fun!) I know what you mean about a lot of girls in your family- we have so many too but - Julia is a super exception, with just one girl. I was super nervous cause Tim comes from a super girl family and I do too and he was the last Wendler! We had to have a boy some time and now that we have Miles, the pressure is off. :) Boys and girls are both great!
