4-12-2009 Sunday - Happy Easter!

On Saturday we dyed 48 eggs! We always struggle with how many we should do, Jeff says we do too many. But they go so fast with all of us doing them! We only get 8 each this year.

Noel, Shera and Luke are showing off their faves that they did!

We made a deal with Grams Allred this year. She comes to church and we will go to the Santa Ana Country Club for Easter Sunday. (I made out the best in the deal - my mom goes to church with me and I don't have to cook! Ha! Ha!)

We were invited to go with some of our closest and dearest friends that I grew up with on my street when I was a child. Here are mom and me with Betty, Gail, Kathy, and Cheryl.
We had a wonderful time!

I love this front entry at Easter. Holly bought the lilies while we were in Paris and we put up framed photos of past Easters with the kids. It is just so springy and happy!

This was the whimsical dining room centerpiece I did this year. I love doing up my dining table for the holidays. We didn't get to use it on Easter Sunday since we went out this year, but I pass through it every day and I love it! I may keep it up a while. :)

Shera and Luke found all sorts of eggs the Easter Bunny hid for the kids in the yard.

Here's the whole gang with the exception of Drew. He was still up at BYU and spent Easter with his Papa and Grandma Starr in Salt Lake City.

We all put our empty baskets out the night before for the Easter Bunny to fill. Luke was very worried when he woke up in the morning to find them untouched! But we assured him that the Easter Bunny would come while we were gone to church and brunch. Sure enough he did and Luke was very pleased. So was Holly, by the look on her face!
