Sarah's First Easter!

Sarah enjoyed her very first Easter! She has a fun time at Nana's. On Friday we dyed eggs, 3 for Sarah, 3 for daddy, and 3 for mommy. Sarah's were the very prettiest ones, of course. Jordan had one that looked like a dinosaur egg, or according to Abby 'poop'. Well, I tried to make a manly egg for Jordan and it came out a little...odd.

On Saturday we have a great-grandkid's Easter egg hunt in Grandma and Grandpa Harris' backyard. (From right to left, front to back: Tristan, Andi (cousin Angie's kids), Abby (my niece), Colin (Nikki's son), Great Grandma Harris, and Sarah being held in Grandpa Harris' arms). Jordan held Sarah for half the hunt, and I for the other half. We had to find 5 carrot eggs and 4 other colored eggs. It was fun.

After that we had an Easter egg hunt at Nana's home. I had pink colored eggs to find, Jordan orange, and Sarah had pastel eggs with bunnies on them. Sarah got cute little finger puppets in her eggs, and some candy which daddy ate.

Then we went on a treasure hunt for a basket the Easter Bunny left for Sarah Marie a day early. We were sent on a goose chase thanks to Uncle Jon's clever hiding spots. But, with help from him, we found all the clues and were able to find Sarah's basket. In the picture Sarah was being helped by 'big cousin' Abby, mommy, and Auntie Roo's dog Chubbs. Sarah got a large stuffed, stackable teddy, neat sunglasses for Bear 'Nake (Lake), and two teether toys. Sarah scored!!

After all that excitement Daddy, who brought my gun up to Logan to go shooting, left for a 'guys' afternoon which I would have joined if it wasn't feeding time for Sarah. Auntie Roo was the only girl who went, but she showed them who was boss! Auntie Roo's target shooting was better than all the boys. Ha, ha Jon, Dad, Mike and Jordan! Girls do have good aim! Go Roo!!

After feeding time was over, Nana, Abby, and mommy went and got seeds for the vegetable garden (this has become a tradition with me and my mom ever since I have moved to SLC. Every spring we go to Anderson Seed in Logan and get the best veggie seeds available, like peas, Bear Lake Pole beans, nales carrots, straightneck yellow squash, etc.) One cannot go with out the other, it just doesn't feel right anymore. I like the tradition and I get really good veggies every year from my garden.

On Sunday Sarah woke up at her normal time of 7:30am. We then decided to search for our baskets the Easter Bunny hid from us. Sarah, with the help of Nana, took a few minutes longer than first thought, but she not only succeeded in finding her basket she also found mine!! What a helper! Sarah and Nana searched high, but mostly low, for her basket and finally found it.
Sarah got baby cookies and toast, 2 pajamas, and two jars each of peaches and blueberries. She liked the blueberries, but the peaches didn't go over too well. All well, one for two, right? However, she LOVES her toast. She thought she was so big that she could feed herself!! What a doll!
So, all in all, we had a very fun and busy weekend. What an Easter to remember! I hope you all had the same: surrounded by loving family and good food!
