Easter (Finally)

I am finally getting around to posting some pictures of Easter in Arizona!

On Saturday, Kaisa got to have an Easter egg hunt at her great-grandma Stapley’s. She moved it inside since it was raining. Kaisa was quite the pro and banked a very full basket!

Found one!

After the hunt, Kaisa and my cousin Talia (yes, she’s my cousin and we are 23 years apart) played outside in the playhouse.  My dad built this playhouse for me and my siblings when I was about 6 or 7.  We enjoyed it for years, and when we all outgrew it, it ended up at my grandma’s.  I’m trying to think of a way to convince her that I should have it now!  Of course, where would I put it?

On Sunday, my mom and I gave Kaisa an Easter basket and another egg hunt.  This time it was outside since it was sunny again!

She is holding her dolly and some stickers she got in her basket. She didn't want to put them down for the hunt!

We colored some real eggs. She was a little confused when she tried to open it for the candy!

Here are some pictures of Kaisa, Everett and I in our Easter outfits.  Ok…so I didn’t get anyone new outfits.  My dress is from last year, Kaisa got hers for Christmas and I saved it, and Everett is just wearing something new I picked from the closet of things I bought when I was pregnant.  :)

Showing off her dress and basket of goodies!

On Easter evening, my grandma and grandpa Porter came for dinner.  My grandpa was really excited to meet his first great-grandson!  Some ducks ventured over from the nearby canal and we took Kaisa out front to feed them.  We ate dinner outside and watched the sunset…a perfect ending to a gorgeous Easter Sunday!

Feeding the ducks!

Kaisa was nervous at first, but pretty soon she was chucking chunks of bread at them! It was so funny!
