We had a wonderful Easter weekend! My parents came to stay with us for the weekend and we grilled out and enjoyed produce from our weekly co-op box and went on lots of walks and enjoyed the (mostly) beautiful weather. Our neighborhood does an Easter egg hunt and cookout each year, and although the weather was a little chilly and damp on Saturday morning, the kids still had a great time! David got a few pictures of Joshua finding eggs--he had so much fun!
Joshua and Leah loved their little Easter baskets on Sunday morning! Leah got a Sesame Street bedtime book, a few small waterproof Elmo books for the bath time, and a small watering can to play with in the tub and wading pool. Joshua got sidewalk chalk, a few bug books, and colorful letters and numbers to play with in the tub. Grandpa also brought him a kite that we're looking forward to flying at the beach! Grandma and Grandpa also got each of the kids a recordable story book that Grandma recorded herself reading for them: "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" for Joshua and "Bright and Beautiful: a Child's Blessing" for Leah. Joshua has already listened to both of them about a million times!
On Sunday afternoon, we went to Durham to celebrate Easter and Brian's birthday with all the Isgetts (Brian is one of David's older brothers). We had a cookout and enjoyed the beautiful weather outside. Joshua loved getting to run around and play and visit with everyone, and Leah loved being held by so many people :) What a wonderful weekend with family, food, gorgeous weather, and the knowledge that our Savior conquered death and atoned for our sins--we are so blessed!
Joshua liked to say the color of each egg as he
picked it up and put it in the basket I held
for him; then he'd run out to find another one.
They had 3 different areas, each for a different
age group. There were only a few little ones
in Joshua's age group, so he got a TON of eggs!
We gave a lot of his candy away because we
certainly didn't need to take it all home!

blank stare to the camera :)
There's a little smile for Uncle Brian!

No smiles from you either, huh?
It is a good thing you're so cute anyways :)
