Easter 2011

Our kids had spring break the whole week before Easter Sunday.  The weather was cold and rainy for all of it, plus my kids took turns being sick. Again.  This time it was fever & cough.  Started with Ashton, then went to Kelsey, Emma, Mal & Soph.  Don't know how Conner lucked out.  But it made for a long, boring spring break with kids wrapped up like burritos on the couch watching tv all day.  Poor Mal & Soph got it for Easter weekend.  They both had to miss church, and didn't care much for being outside hunting eggs or eating.  But it was a great Easter nonetheless!

Proof that she is walking! Finally! 

 So the Hibbert's got together Saturday at Flat Iron Mesa Park for lunch and an egg hunt.  I asked Mom to invite Jamie along too, since Jason is out of town (out of the country for that matter - China!), and she's basically a Hibbert anyway.

The kids played a lot of soccer

 

Chow time

Somehow Jared ended up at the playground with the three youngest: Lucy, Sophie & Will

Mal had a fever, so the chilly weather was extra chilly to her.

The kids all waiting for Neil & Grant to give them the green light!

Grandpa was nice enough to carry Mallory around and kept her all bundled up.  Thanks Dad!

Grandma labels the eggs with the kids names.  With such a large area to hide them, it took the kids a while!

Mikey is so stinking cute.

Ashton had one last egg that he was having a hard time finding.  That's because Uncle Grant had it in his pocket.  He kept telling Ashton "colder" and "warmer" as they walked around.  It was pretty funny to watch. 

Ashton & Ethan have a picture like this from last year.  We missed the Wrides!

We colored our Easter eggs with the kids Saturday night.

We like to use Q-tips to add dots & designs to our eggs.

Looking for the eggs on Easter morning....

Sophie's face looks so silly!  She was excited to see her new toy (Brobee from Yo Gabba Gabba).  After I took this picture I showed it to the kids.  We all think she looked like someone from Dr. Seuss's Whoville!   =o)

Ashton & Conner got a couple new Tron toys.

Mallory has wanted a Lalaloopsy doll for a while.  They remind my other kids of the movie "Coraline", so they all think it's creepy.  And then they tell Mal that her doll is creepy and Mal get's upset.  Vicious cycle.
