Easter Weekend

Saturday morning, we dyed Easter eggs outside...

Saturday evening, some cousins from California arrived, so Annie enjoyed hunting for her 

Easter basket with them before church.

We headed of to church, Siri and I actually spent most of the service walking around the campus of ASU while she slept (the trumpets and timpani seemed to be disturbing her sleep, amazingly enough).  

We met up with everyone for cookies in the Fellowship Hall afterwards.  

Siri is wearing one of my old Easter dresses, which has a duck on it.  Ducks are one of her favorite things these days, so it seemed especially fitting.

After church, we returned to my parents' house for an Easter egg hunt in the backyard.  Annie searched...

Siri enjoyed playing with her find...

Then, we had some time to relax together in the backyard before heading to my Aunt and Uncle's for Easter Dinner.

(Here Annie and her second cousins once removed or something like that are going on a bunny hunt.  Lucky for the bunny, he escaped over the garden fence.  The look on Annie's face remained all weekend, she quite enjoyed playing with the big girls.)

At Easter dinner, Siri enjoyed playing with Uncle Lynn.

And, we all enjoyed a wonderful Easter meal with four generations and various degrees of cousins.

Uncle Lynn helped get Siri to sleep, then Grandpa held her for her Easter nap.

It refreshed her enough that when we arrived home, she wanted to practice her favorite new trick, walking.

Our California cousins stayed through Monday, so we got to celebrate Karaline's birthday with her.

Here is Annie, all worn out and ready for bed?!
