Easter Bunnies

This year was a

first

for me,

as far as Easters go.

I attempted,

and I think ,

successfully

pulled off

my very first

Easter Feast!!

I cooked my

first ham.

(and next year will know not to buy such a huge one!)

And made all my favorite sides to go with it.

~Homemade mac and cheese~

~Mashed potatoes with leeks~

~Strawberry spinach salad~

~Strawberry jell o with whip cream~

~Stuffing~

~Butter rolls~

And to top it all off,

~carrot cake~

This is me and my 'helpers' the night before.

I love that they each went and found a

stool

to stand on.

Some more wobbly than others,

but we finished with no major accidents or falls.

Easter morning.

They were up at

5:30!

We made them stay upstairs until

at least

6:15!

Inspecting.

So curious.

His first Easter.

"What are all these

odd-shaped-ball-sort'v-things?"

Easter socks!

A bigger hit than I expected.

Fox realized there were goodies

inside

the 'odd-shaped-ball-sort'v-things'!

Easter outfits!!

Momma's favorite!

Fox is

losing enthusiasm

by the second.

Bubba is

gaining

his by the second.

The girls just love having their

picture taken.

"Ok, times up."

And off he goes........

We tried again at church,

but with no chair to sit in,

he was much more capable of

walking off.

And he did.

My most favorite people

in the world!!

We had such a great

Easter Sunday.

We did color eggs,

but with my hands two knuckles deep in egg dye,

picture taking took a back seat.

Later that evening our good friends,

the Mullins

came over to share our

Easter feast.

They were in our ward in Texas and moved with us

up to Maine.

Happy Easter

every

Bunny!!
