Easter 2011

Easter morning started out with the traditional chunky cinnamon french toast with cinnamon syrup & strawberries....and cheesy eggs. Delish!
Then we headed downstairs to see what the Easter Bunny brought Cameron.
Grammy T sent a package of stuff...of course Cam's favorite thing was the singing/walking Donald Duck.
Then it was off to church. Cameron was so cute to "pose" for a mini photo shoot in his Easter outfit. He was cracking me up. I just said I wanted to take a few pictures and he just started doing his thing. I took like 20 pictures ;)
Cameron & mommy. I have no idea where he learned the cheesy smile from....if you take the picture while he says "cheese" then this is the face you get.

Cam & daddy. Jeremy & I had to speak in sacrament...what a great way to ruin our Easter Sunday (or maybe I should say a good way to ruin everyone elses' Easter!)
"CHEESE"
After church we headed to Grammy & Grampys for a huge egg hunt and dinner. They hid about 200 eggs full of candy and money. Jeremy & I hid the "golden egg" which was our announcement of the sex of our next kid!


Cameron had a blast on the egg hunt. He knew what he was doing and would get sooo excited when he would find an egg. I loved these pictures of him in the back yard hunting for eggs.



Everyone looking for the "golden egg"....Jeremy hid it so nobody would find it!!

After all the eggs were found, we went inside....the kids counted their money and seperated it from the candy. Cameron would open a egg and say "oh money" and put it in a bag. If it was candy in the egg he would say "yummy candy" and put it in the bag or his mouth. We all decided it was time to eat dinner, but Janessa wouldn't stop until her money was counted...she scored with over $13.

On Saturday morning we took Cameron to the Riverton egg hunt. It was a mad house! But so much fun....so glad we did it. Cameron sat on the Easter Bunny's lap and got a prize.

Here he is waiting with anticipation for them to shout GO. They had different sections roped off of age groups. He was in the 2 and under area.

It was so cute that he knew what to do.

As you can see....there were about a million people in just the 2 and under area. They obviously planed for a ton of kids because the grass was covered with candy, eggs, gift certificates, and stuffed animals. Cameron's basket was full. As we were trying to leave the area, I noticed a cute little boy and his dad and his basket only and 2 things in it, so I said to Cameron "we should share some of our stuff with this little boy, he didn't get much." So we gave him some stuff. It's never too early to teach kids empathy and kindness!

Cameron sporting the mask and pinwheel he got at the egg hunt. He talked about it the ride home, and the next day. He still talks about Grammy & Grampys egg hunt and makes me hide the eggs at home & then he opens them up! I wonder how long this is going to last....maybe I need to put the Easter stuff away :) It was definitely a FUN Easter, holidays just keep getting more & more fun the older Cameron gets!

  1. Thanks for taking such cute pictures of your Easter. I wish we had come to your house for breakfast:) Grampy had fun hiding all those eggs. I had fun putting the money and candy in them. It was fun watching the kids trying to find them. The best egg was the golden egg!!!!! Janessa was the lucky one to find it and tell us.
    I am trying to decide why you didn't put in your blog what the golden egg told us?????? We are so excited for Sept. 7th to come.

  2. I guess I read your blog too soon. Of course you couldn't have just said it is going to be a girl or a boy. Not Meg. You get those creative juices flowing and we never know what is going to come out of your mouth:)
