Easter Photo shoot

Rebekah and Hyrum

Rebekah and Mommy
This dress has a story. Long ago I bought this purple Pansie fabric and made curtains out of it. They were my and Timothy's bedroom curtains for about 2 years, but I knew we wouldn't be living in that house forever so I made the curtains in a way that I could easily take them apart and make something else out of them. So, when Rebekah started growing out of all her dresses I took her into my fabric stash and had her pick out some fabric for a dress. She picked these old curtains, and she picked the pattern she wanted from some old patterns I had. So, I found the ribbon and thread left over from a previous project, and the bias tape from Timothy late grandmother's stash. So all I had to buy was a $1.39 zipper and later 3 buttons for $2.59. So, this dress only cost me $3.98 to make!

Cute little Hyrum!

Darling Rebekah!

I'm hoping to photo shop this one a bit sometime in the near future.

Finding baskets

We've decided to do Easter Bunny stuff on Saturday so as not to "commercialize" the Sabbath and the true meaning of Easter, but still continue with traditions. So, on Saturday the children woke up to candy and eggs and baskets hidden in the living room.

Then they found them and managed to consume most of the candy before breakfast.

Rebekah finding her basket... do you see it hanging on the coat rack?

Later that day they got to do an Easter egg hunt at the church and Hyrum's foster parents ("nana" and "papa") gave the kids Easter baskets too.

Grandma M also sent baskets for the children which we forgot to get out until Sunday. So, they got a lot of Easter baskets and way too much candy!

After finding their baskets, then they got to fill them a little more with some chocolates and eggs.

They sure had a good time!

We had a great Easter!

The Saturday before Easter we gave the children a little Easter egg hunt. They seemed to enjoy it. Sunday we enjoyed conference and family time.

Easter

We were blessed to have a visit from my mom, three sisters, and two brother-in-laws for Easter. It was fun to have them visit, they just left this morning. The children miss all the attention. We didn't do much for Easter, except the most important things: attend church, and spend time with family. We didn't do the Easter Bunny thing, we're not sure we want to encourage the Pagan part of the holiday. Although, the children did get to do an Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday with some friends. My mom also brought new Easter clothes for the children. They sure are cute!
