Hoppy Easter!

Hurray for dying eggs!

This is one my favorite things to do. Erik really enjoyed it too. Do you like his Kool Aid smile?

This finished products! We just dyed a dozen, it was perfect. We like to draw on the eggs with crayon first so they come out with a pattern on them. I just ate one today with Erik's scribbles on it, so cute.

Hurray for General Conference!

We decided to watch it in our (small) tent, like the people did when listening to King Benjamin of the Book of Mormon. Erik liked hanging out in the tent most before and after conference, not much during, but it was still fun and he was still really good.

Egg Hunt!

As you can see from his basket, Erik did MUCH better this year at finding eggs than last year. He was very motivated to find eggs this year, last year he needed more coaching.


The perfect Watermelon Egg!

We were so proud of how perfectly it turned out, we had to get a picture with the egg's creator :)


Easter morning Basket!

Erik loved the peeps and the jelly beans the best!

(Oh and G-ma JuLee, he really loves the basketball and sports eggs you got him too. Thanks)

He's reading!

Well at least looking at the pictures. He grabbed a stack of books and headed for the tent. I love how he crossed his legs. This kid always makes me laugh and smile.

*Best moment of the weekend!*

Erik PRAYED!!! ALL BY HIMSELF!

I felt like it was a miracle because for a month or better he's been so resistant to praying with the family and this weekend he did it all by himself! We were going to pray for lunch and he said, "No, Erik pray!" So we said ok and let him do his thing. He likes to be thankful, I don't think he asked for one blessing it was just, "thank you for the food, thank you for mommy and daddy, thank you for the couch..." and anything else he could see in the room. It was so sweet!
