Easter 2010

Yesterday was Olivia’s first Easter! She slept through most of it J Jillian enjoyed it a lot this year. On Saturday we decorated eggs. I read in a magazine about using a wire whisk for dying eggs. It was an amazing tip! Jillian was able to color the eggs with little help from me and not once did the egg drop! We talked about the colors and I think she has blue down for sure! After the eggs dried she decorated them with Sesame Street stickers. The left over stickers ended up on the dog. Haha!

Egg Hunt

Jillian had a good time collecting eggs!! I got her eggs from Target this year. They were prefilled with Sesame Street characters and Fisherprice Little People. She had a blast playing with them after the hunt.  I also hid candy filled eggs for Sam. I put out 43 eggs and only 39 were found. Haha I’m sure they’ll show up eventually.

Easter at the Park

We spent this Easter at the park with Adrian’s family. It was Grandma Esther’s 80^th birthday celebration as well. Grandma Esther is a fan of Vegas slot machines so I made a slot machine cake for her!

There was an egg toss this year which was fun to watch. It took quite a while for people to start getting out. Then there was egg everywhere!

Jillian is our little cookie monster! She found where the cookies were located and I think by the end of the day she had gotten her hands on four cookies.

If you were in California or Arizona you probably felt the 7.2 earthquake we had in the afternoon. I was sitting down on the ground and felt the movement. It made me dizzy. I think that I like being outside during an earthquake much better than being inside a building! There was no sense of urgency, we just sat feeling the movement of the plates beneath us.

Since we were in the area yesterday we stopped and visited my Uncle Joe and family. Jillian made a friend while we were there. His name was Clyde and he was 6 months younger. They were sharing Easter eggs and talking about who knows what, haha. Jillian threw a fit while we were there because she desperately wanted to go into the swimming pool. At least we know that she won’t be scared of swimming in the summer!

Here are some cute pics from yesterday.

Overall we had a wonderful Easter! I hope yours was great too!
