Easter 2011!

We had such a fun Easter weekend!  I was hoping to get this post up sooner, but when I hit week 31 of being prego, I hit the wall.  I am SO tired again!  It's a totally different kind of tired than the 1st trimester or how tired I was carrying Jillian.  I am physically exhausted because I'm chasing after Jill all day.   When she takes her afternoon nap, it's a guarantee that I am on the couch for most of that time. 

So back to our fun Easter weekend!  We spent Saturday night at my parents house since church was at 9 am the next morning.   The ONLY sad part was Jaden, Shelby and Matt were out of town in Colorado.  We missed them so much!!  

The Easter bunny came 2x!! 

After church Jill dug into her Easter baskets. 



Jillian got lots of fun toys, but her favorite for the day was her own set of keys.





Kisses for Bama!!  I loved all my Easter toys!!!!



After a long nap, Jillian was ready for an Easter Egg hunt!  We hid 25 eggs, most being inside.  Jill had a blast finding them!  I learned from our Easter egg hunt a few weeks ago to keep what's inside the eggs to a minimum.  No chocolate or the hunt is over.  So we put either 2-3 jelly beans in each egg, a couple raisins, a couple goldfish or a couple stickers.  It was perfect!  After she found each egg she'd run up to someone and ask them to open it.  She'd go crazy for whatever was inside and eat it.









She loved putting the stickers all over her legs.  
(And I was relieved we had a break from sugary jelly beans!)


Outside we went to hunt for more eggs....


We hid confetti-filled eggs outside.  She had fun smashing them!


Her last egg.  She had concentrated on this Easter Egg hunt for probably 40 mins, so her attention span when we got outside was done.  She just wanted to run and play.  

Jillian actually had 3 Easter Bunny visits!  Nana and Popa made sure the Bunny visited all the way from El Paso.  There were so many cute things inside the box, but Jill's favorite by far is her bowl, spoon and roller (shown in the last picture).  Jillian LOVES to pretend cook.  Earlier this week, she dumped all her cheerios into the mixing bowl and mixed them around with the spoon.
