Kind of a late Easter post, but for some reason my iPhoto saved my pictures to a different place than normal and I finally sat down to figure out why I couldn't find them. Anyway, we had fun and did more for Easter this year than we have any other year since we've been married. I think Brayden's at the age where we need to start more traditions. So, we died 4 dozen eggs on Saturday (yes, a lot) and put together a few little gift buckets for our friends here and delivered a few Saturday night and a few Sunday afternoon. Brayden really liked giving them to his friends :)
On actual Easter, I assisted Preston in making out first Turkey. According to Preston, it was the best turkey ever. I don't know why, but ever since being pregnant with Brayden, meats just aren't as yummy to me, so even thought it was really good, it was still just meat to me. Haha. So sad. Anyway, we had a couple people over last minute and they participated in our egg hunt around the house. I thought it was a success! Brayden definitely had fun and shouted "yeah!" everytime he spotted an egg. He found more than I expected without any help!

| the Easter goods. The baskets just had empty eggs in them until the next afternoon after naps. The black file cabinet came from our neighbors curb when they were moving a while ago and we painted it with chalkboard paint. It's great! A perfect place to keep coloring stuff and also magnetic! |
