Here Comes Peter Cottontail...

We had a fantastic Easter! It all started Saturday when we drove out to Buckeye for the city Spring Festival. We took Amy to the egg hunt for all the kids 1-3 years old, or should I say for the parents of the kids 1-3 years old. We thought it would be cute to just let the kids wander and find the eggs, but all the parents decided to "help" their kids and so we had to run Amy to a spot with one egg so she could stand by it and pick it up. That was all we got. What a bust. Good thing she's only one and doesn't really care whether she gets any. The rest of the festival was fun. They had the Easter bunny, who Amy liked MUCH better than Santa Claus. She even reached out to touch his nose and gave him high five. They had a nice petting zoo that we spent a lot of time in, holding bunnies and petting goats and sheep and pigs. Very cute. She absolutley HATED the bouncer, which was weird because she normally loves them. I think there were too many big kids bouncing too high for her. She did love the inflatable slide though!
Saturday afternoon I got a new Easter dress and then we dyed eggs with the Owen's (Amy was a little too little for this activity). We had a lot of fun and we had a wide range of quality eggs... some were pretty cool, and some looked like they were moldy (way to go Richard!). We learned that coloring eggs at 11:00 at night is hilarious when you're all slap happy.
Sunday we got up and had sausage gravy and biscuits for breakfast and then got ready for church. Amy and I got to wear our pretty new Easter dresses. Church was very nice. Mike sang with the ward choir. They sang a medley of Easter songs and it was very nice. Amy didn't understand why Mike, Lindsey O., and Richard got to go up there and she didn't though... so she and I had to listen from the hall. That afternoon we went to my parent's house (the Owen's came with us too because their family is in California and North Dakota) for Easter dinner. It was very good (thanks Mom!) and Amy got to hunt a couple of eggs there. We spent the rest of the evening playing games and having fun! What a great weekend!
