We had a great easter. Went to church but got there 30 minutes late, oops! It was my fault because I went to bed late and just couldn't wake up in the morning.

After church we went to my grandma's house for easter lunch and the egg hunt. The lunch was awesome!! My favorite holiday meal is my grandma's easter one.

After lunch was the easter egg hunt. Since the weather was pretty hot (got up to 88) all the mini candy bars that were sprinkled in the yard were all melted. Alie wouldn't pick them up because they squished out of their wrappers if you didn't grab them delicately. Then the eggs were starting to melt. Well, some of the dye on them was melting off. So all the kids ended up with rainbow colored hands. It was pretty humerous. I was dying of the heat so poor Alie only found 12 eggs while everyone else gathered 20+. I shouldn't have worn 2 shirts, well tank top and blouse.

Best thing of all, Alie stayed dry the whole day! I put a diaper on her because I was so afraid she would have an accident w/ all the excitement. Plus I didn't want to ruin her silk dress from Jack and Janie. To my amazement, she told me when she needed to go, depsite the diaper. Such a big girl!!

Here are the pictures I took:

She sat in this pose all by herself!
