Happy Easter!

Maddie got SPOILED for Easter. I am not sure why this surprises me, but it does. The
"Easter Bunny" filled my old basket with 4 plastic eggs that were super glued together, filled with rice and beans so they would shake and make noise. That's it. No candy, no toys, no clothes. 99 cents spent.

Her grandparents and Aunties, on the other hand, made the Easter Bunny look bad! She got tons of outfits, books, gardening tools & seeds to plant, stuffed animals, and toys! Oh my!

It started the week before Easter with a basket from Grandpa Randy and Robyn. Maddie went straight for the Mum Mums and the pretty dress. We filled the bubble gun the next day, but it is not baby proof. We ended up with bubble solution on the carpet. oops.

We went to Eugene for Easter weekend. It was Katie's 10th birthday! Also, we got to celebrate Maddie's birthday with some family members who didn't make it to her party in Portland.

Happy Birthday Katie!

We got to meet cousin Emma for the first time. What a cutie!!

Maddie has a lot of little cousins on that side of the family, and they were more than willing to show her how to use her new toys. Auntie Dian got her a wheel barrow with garden/sand toys, and Auntie Shannon got her a golf bag with clubs and balls and everything!

Easter morning Maddie went on a hunt for her eggs.

She was good at finding them and putting them into her basket. (Also look here at Maddie's hair...she is starting to get ringlets in the back!)

The ears didn't last long. GET THEM OFF!

Egg shakers!!

The grass is kind of fun too!

Grandma Jan hosted us for the weekend and we had a lot of fun hanging out and playing cards (and eating!!) Tony and I had the opportunity for a date night in Eugene, but we were too tired to even take advantage. How sad. On Sunday we went to church at Grace. We dressed up all in our pretty outfits but somehow we don't have any pictures of that. Maybe somebody will send us one!

Today is Uncle J's birthday...Happy Birthday!! We chatted with him via web camera on SKYPE. So, for any of you you have the capability and would like to chat, let us know.

Hope everyone had a very Happy Easter!!
