Easter 2011

First off, if you guessed Livermore for our last location- you were correct.

Now, for Easter.   It was rainy, dreary, yuk.  Good thing we celebrate Jesus and not spring weather because I was in no mood to celebrate April showers after however many nights in a row up listening to Wayne Hart tell me to get in my tornado safe zone, then catching a few zzz's before Hope woke up terrified of the thunderstorm.    But, Easter is about Jesus and perhaps it was easier to remember that amidst all the cancelled Easter egg hunts. 

We did get Hope a little Easter basket.  She loved every bit of it.  She did quite well in the candy category this year.  Our treat bowl overfloweth!

Her dress.  This picture distorts her face for some reason. Sorry about that.

This one is no better...not because of a distorted face but because of her expression.  This, unfortunatly, is Hope's new "smile for the camera face."  We're working on it.  Just trust me, the kid was cute. So cute I wanted to eat her up.  Her dress has hearts on it.  Not on purpose, but it served me well in teaching her that we celebrate how much Jesus loves us on Easter Sunday.

Since we had been practicing for weeks for Easter egg hunts, we had an indoor hunt at Grammy's house.  Hope didn't mind a bit.

And, in my family, no Easter basket is complete without sunglasses.
