Easter festivities


Frosting for the sugar cookies :)

Eggs, flowers, butterflies, bunnies

The second hunt for eggs. We had one at our ward party on Saturday with pancake breakfast, games, bag decorating, and easter egg hunt (candy included). At home, we used empty plastic eggs and dyed, real hard-boiled ones. The kids were a bit disappointed but soon got over it. (They really just liked doing the hunting.) And we made sure they knew what Easter is really all about--Christ and the Resurrection (empty egg = empty tomb).


Raquel didn't want to carry her own basket, but she would find eggs and put them in Adam or Kaitlyn's baskets, or just hold them in her hands. Raquel is wearing the cute dress Grandma Ripp sent for Easter. I wanted to take a photo of all 3 kids wearing their new Easter apparel, but it didn't happen. Oh well. Thanks for the new threads, Grandma :) (Kaitlyn had already worn her dress quite a few times, and it was in need of a cleaning/she didn't get to wear it on Easter.)





We went just today for our first ultrasound for baby #4-- might be a girl! Look at those beautiful eyes. Baby's got daddy's nose, mommy's smile, brother's spleen...

CUTE! Sugar cookie decorating is the coolest thing. Adam's face in the picture with him displaying the sugar cookie is so Matt.

I can finally see Kaitlyn's sassy new cut. Hilarious and cute.

And yup, Raquel in the dress is adorable. She's getting so old.
