easter.

happy easter. lol.

the easter bunny was good to us this year... we are still eating easter candy. and proud to say- we are not still cleaning up that annoying easter grass. maddex got to sit with the easter bunny- and it didn't phase him one bit. prior to the big day- he loved to play with the easter eggs throughout the house. we did our egg dying the day of... i know, i was tired by that time.. but i just couldn't stand the thought of not dying eggs on easter. my mom was always so good at all that when i was a kid- she made the holiday traditions so important to us. maddex was way into finding his basket... he looked all over in the backyard before he found it in the "spare tire" we have laying around. ha. it was also a special day because we got to listen to our great prophet speak to us... and then we went to dinner at justin and michelles.

*thanks to everyone that sent a basket... not only did maddex get to open our easter basket but he also got one from our neighbor, grandma kathy, grandma debbie and aunt michelle (my camera died before i got any pictures of m. with aunt michelle).

we had a great easter. hope you did too. 

m. looking for his basket

he started running before i could get in front of him

he grabbed this out and wanted us to open it right away

 i would post a picture of me finding mine- but lets just say- it wasn't a good angle. ;)

maddex opening grandma kathys basket:

he was so excited.. don't you love his face. he kept kissing the chick on the front of the box.

opening grandma debbies basket:

this was the first easter basket maddex got so he didn't quite understand why he was allowed to eat so much candy at once, but he wasnt stopping. he was shoveling the jelly beans in so fast. he couldn't even talk or hardly chew he had so many in his mouth. 

grandma and pappy dave were there to see it all.
