Easter

Easter was celebrated in lots of ways and on lots of days. Geoff and I went on a date to the Stake production of Savior of the World. It was wonderful and set a great tone for my whole week.
Some gals from the ward got together and did an egg hunt at the park. I loved it. I love the excitement and enthusiasm as the children race from spot to spot.
Graham unfortunately does not walk yet, so he was banished to the stroller. The ants make it too risky to let him crawl; BUT, we headed to the playground after--and he LOVES crawling all through the ramps on the Big Toy!
Easter Morning was very anticipated in our house. We had been practicing ALL week for Hughie's first primary talk. He kept on asking if it was Easter yet. We were finally able to say "yes"! Here he is holding up his soon to be unwrapped gardening gloves--which quickly turned into sand box gloves. ;) Oh, and aaaaaa, yes, hmmm, the wrapping paper, well, Christmas is appropriate, right?
Here Hughie was showing you his soon to be unwrapped helmet. Oh, the long awaited helmet. He's been wanting one for weeks, but I figured I might as well give it to him for the holiday. He was soooo excited. Once he tried it on however, Geoff and I were sad to have to try and explain to him that it was wayyyyy to small, and that we needed to return it.
As you can see, it was just right for Graham. :)
 Then on Monday, we had another Easter egg hunt with lots of friends and a picnic at the park. Once again, it was oodles of fun. The humidity even cooperated by "lessening" for a few hours.
Look at all those cute faces!!
Lindsey and I had some mad acrobatic skills on the twirly toy. Does anyone know what this is actually called?
I haven't laughed this hard for a long long time.
Hughie and Addison giving it a whirl.
Happy Easter Everyone! What a beautiful and sacred time of year.

Benson doesn't walk either and it's driving me crazy! Makes it really hard to take them outside.

I love the picture of Graham in the helmet. So funny! And you look so cute in all these pictures, AM!
