Easter 2011

Easter was a lot of fun this year, especially now that Priya is understanding more. She spent the weeks leading up to Easter practicing her egg-hunting skills:

Friday night, we dyed Easter Eggs (actually, Priya died Easter Eggs, we watched and tried to keep the dye from spilling). The only casualty was the pink egg dye, and a few eggs. It was very hard for my artistic side to let go and allow Priya to make multi-colored eggs!

On Saturday, we had a party at our house with family and others. We had a rockin' Easter Egg Hunt, which Priya enjoyed at the beginning:

And shortly after was upset because she discovered the candy in the eggs, but we wouldn't let her have any right then.

We finished the party off with yummy Cafe Rio style salads (click to see the recipe). So delicious!

On Easter morning, Priya got to see what the Easter bunny left her:

The Jelly Beans were her favorite, followed closely by her new books.

We went over to my parent's house for breakfast and then went to church. It was so nice to go and remember the wonderful reason we have Easter.

We spent the rest of the day with family, and got to see my Grandpa, who was up visiting from St. George.

Priya loved running and playing with bubbles at my parent's house in the afternoon.
