What an Easter huh! I really liked the fact that we had conference on Easter this year. We got to get up and have a great breakfast while watching the first half of conference then Rylin got to go look for her Easter Basket. She is at a really cute stage where she is just talking all the time and she understands a lot and is very observant on what is happening around her. This morning we woke up and I asked her if today was Easter and she lite up and said "Yes! Easter Bunny!" I then decided that I needed to teach her that the real reason for Easter was for Jesus. I told her is was also a Jesus Easter Day and we said resurrection a few times and I was surprised how well she said it. She then watched her Jesus Show for the day which was "He is Risen", so I felt she got the idea. Here is her first Easter Basket. Last year she didn't understand anything so we thought we'd save ourselves the money but this year she got a baseball bat and ball, sidewalk chalk, pretend makeup (which I had to make myself), and candy. She loved it all.
My mom bought her the cutest Easter outfit and even though we didn't have to dress up since it was conference I wanted her to look cute for the day. Too bad it was awful weather and there were no flowers around for me to take pictures by, but oh well.
We ate dinner at my in-laws, which was delicious as usual and my dad came too since everyone in my family was out of town. It was fun to have everyone around. Then Rylin, Drew, and Owen did their Easter egg hunt. This was Rylin's 4th time doing one so she rocked the house down. She was looking under stuff, moving quick and you knew she was on a mission. It was hilarious. There were a million eggs so she got some help from grandpa, aunts/uncles, and of course her dad. Then it was time to open them. Yes they were all loaded with candy and in Rylin's mind it was all hers and she was going to eat it all! She had it dripping down her shirt and everything. Cute little Easter group huh! I love that she has cousins around to entertain her. She learn so much from Drew and the three of them are so fun together.
They then opened their Easter presents and they all got a cute outfit and little jumping bean shoes. Rylin loved hers and she looks adorable it the whole thing. It was a great day. I loved conference and I swear that every conference there is two or three talks that are directed just to me. Now if we could just get some good weather I would be set!
A couple days before Easter Rylin was playing around while I was cleaning and she came into me and asked me to help her put my earrings on. I just died laughing on how cute she looked wearing all my jewelry and then knowing that the earring had to go on her ears, so I just hung them on top of her ears and took some pictures. What a model huh!
