We had a really good Easter weekend around here. We enjoyed our time searching for Easter eggs, listening to conference, eating symbolic foods, and celebrating Jesus Christ. Our weekend started off with an Easter egg hunt for the kiddos. I was taking some family pictures and newborn pictures for my good friend Shalene and her cute family. They had a lot of family in from out of town, so family pictures were in order. And, lucky for our kiddos, so was an Easter egg hunt. Stella was picky about which basket she got to carry around, and really wanted the light blue one you see her with in the pictures. She was able to find a ton of Easter eggs, thanks to Dad. Sterling wanted nothing to do with walking around looking for eggs - he simply wanted to sit exactly where he was and play with the two eggs Dad found for him right off the start. We had a good time!
Then came Sunday - when I, not even thinking about whether or not the Easter bunny had come, slept in while Andy got out of Bed with Stella. I walked out to find Andy with a pile of candy on the counter, quickly arranging a basket full of goody's for miss Stella Mae. Later she told me that Dad put my "thing" (hot glue gun) on her basket to fix it. The beads had come off of part of her basket and he fixed it for her - then filled her up. (Good thing she is too young to realize that if daddy did the basket, then the Easter bunny didn't - that was a nice save on Andy's part... this is the reason this year will go down in history as the year daddy saved Easter!) I quickly grabbed Sterling's basket and Andy filled his up too. Just in time for some "mouths full of candy" pictures.
After conference, we went to the Rozmus's and shared with them Andy's Easter meal that he only gets once a year. ( I had Lamb for the first time when I was pregnant with Stella... made me barf and now it just doesn't taste pleasant at all.) He went all out, making leg of lamb with mint jelly, carrots potatoes, cauliflower, and onions, rolls, greek olives, grape juice, and cookies for desert.
We really enjoyed our family time, and celebrating our Brother Jesus Christ and his resurrection. Easter was great!

SO DARN CUTE!!!! Stella is looking so much like you, it's cute. I can't wait til Macy is old enough to make an Easter basket for. And I don't like lamb either.
that pic of sterling looking straight at the camera, drool just coming from his mouth & a jelly bean in his hand... CLASSIC! It's nice to see some pics of Andy with the kiddos too. From the looks of those giant smiles it seems like everyone had a great time! Happy Easter!
The first picture looks like a magazine ad, again. Way fun. I'm glad to see some of the fun times you've had.
As always, GORGEOUS pictures! It helps that your kids are models.
