The Malouf Family: Easter!

We had a fun Easter Weekend! We started it off on Friday by going on the Easter Train in Heber with our friends Brad and Amber and their kids and some of Amber's family. It was really cute! They had a petting zoo. Lily loved the bunnies and the pigs. She actually loved all of them. She kept going "moo" to the baby calves and "aaaa" to the goats. They also had little chicks!

Lily is obsessed with bunnies, so it was a real treat for her to get to meet The Easter Bunny!

The Heber Creeper train was about a 45 minute ride. They played Easter music and the Easter Bunny danced around with the kids and gave them all an egg. Lily loves Amber. She wanted to sit with her most of the time :). Poor Amber never gets a break from kids!

When it was over we got to have some more train fun by eating at Dairy Keen! Yum!

Lily riding there. She was NOT happy the last ten minutes or so.

Then on Saturday we did Easter with my family, the Stokers! We always start off by eating and it is always a delicious array of food! Ham, lots of salads and rolls and my favorite, deviled eggs. Then we did our Easter Egg Hunt. Each kid got to pick up 25 eggs. Lily got about 11 :) She loved picking up the eggs! She would pretend to put them in her basket but then always keep it. She likes to fake us out like that! She would hold as many as she could until one or two dropped and then I could put them in her basket. After awhile we just started throwing the ones she dropped so she could pick it up again. It was such a warm, sunny, beautiful day! After the hunt we did the "Egg Roll". It is set up in brackets March Madness style and 2 people roll hard boiled eggs at each other. The person whose egg doesn't crack moves onto the next level. I won my first round against Kaden, my nephew, but lost the 2nd round against my brother-in-law Grant who had already defeated Michael in the first round. My niece Katie ended up being the victor! It was fun! Then dessert. I made cadbury egg cookies from Our Best Bites website. They were all gone before we left!

This is the same tire swing my Dad used to push me in! She thought it was pretty fun.

Sunday morning we gave Lily her basket from the Easter bunny! She got Princess Rapunzel and Tiana Little People and a new book and a new bunny. We went to the Malouf's after church.We ate another delicious dinner on a cutely decorated table (of course). Then we did another Easter Egg Hunt. There were all kinds of fun things in Lily's eggs. Little People toys, goldfish bags, and dollar bills! Then Renee gave each of us a golden egg with a hint telling us where their Easter Basket was! Lily's said "Daddy's treasures were here". We found her Easter Basket in the closet of his bedroom. She got all kinds of adorable clothes and some fun books and toys! It was a wonderful Christmas-I mean Easter for Lily :). Michael and I also got some Easter presents, my favorite being a bunny jar to hold my cadbury eggs :). Craig and Renee sure love to spoil us. It was also our nephew Jack's birthday so we took some time for him to open some more presents and sing to him and had cake and ice cream then the kids colored some eggs. It was a great time.
