Easter 2013

And what a great Easter it was!  We invited Nate and Jenny McAllister and their family up to celebrate and spend the night.  Paul made the most amazing dutch oven food for dinner.  Pork loin with cornbread stuffing and for the second layer, potatoes.  Yum!

Looks delectable doesn't it?  I must say my hubby is a fine cook.  He is very skilled at experimenting and not afraid to do it at all while I worry about straying from the recipe.  Anyway, so after dinner, we played games and had a campfire and then some of the kids watched a movie on our projector downstairs while I played bunny and ran around hiding plastic eggs for the next morning.  Hehe that was a lotta fun.

The next morning we had a yummy breakfast prepared by Jenny and then it was so funny because Miriam kept pretending she needed to go for a walk outside but she was trying to scope out the egg situation.  It's all good though.  We caught her in her scheme.  Side note - I LOVE Miriam.  She reminds me of myself sooo much at her age.  She has high energy but she is sweet and sooo loving and patient with Lizzie.  She just doted on our little girl the whole time and Lizzie, little social bug that she is, just loved having cousins over and hanging out.

So then we did the hunt and Lizzie looked so darn cute walking around with her basket and everyone got a good amount of eggs and candy and rolled up scriptures I had included.

 Afterwards, Lizzie hung out with Ethan and Seth for a while and watched Enchanted.  She cracked me up because she kinda just sidled up to the boys on the bean bag like she didn't want them to notice.  Hilarious.

 On Easter, we dressed her up in a cute little dress confection which made her look like a cupcake and she got more cousin time.  Happy baby.
