This year we were lucky enough to have an awesome Easter weekend at our house. Hyrum's sister Julie, her husband Scott, their kids Scotty and Jane, Hy's brother Jay, his girlfriend Kassie, our friends Paul and Heather (and baby Chloe) and my gramma were all here for dinner today. We had a lot of fun and are so glad we got to spend time with family!
Claire's Easter basket

Not homemade- the basket, the bunny ears, the books, the egg that the babylegs came in.

The sweet baja beetle Hyrum made for her

Belt that I made for Scotty

Hair clips for Janey

Her new headband

froggy hooded towel

Felt chicky and Easter eggs (the blue one is falling from her mouth)

Loving her bunny

Scotty took a ride in the baby bouncer

Trying out the new belt and mommy's hat. Scotty and Claire snuck a few kisses. It was hilarious to watch them slowly come towards each other with open mouths. I also loved how he called all the women "mommy" and the men "daddy".

Julie made matchy baby legs for the girls. So cute! I asked Hyrum to put them on Claire, and he just put them on over her jammies. Typical.

Claire's Easter dress made from an old shirt of Hyrum's.

I still need to trim the ribbon and melt the edges


The Easter Claire Bear Bunny


And my favorite chickadee checking out our new baby chicks. Last week, chickens were made legal in our area, so we went and got some on friday! The little red one is Annie but we haven't named the rest yet. We're so excited! And Scotty LOVED the "birdies" as he called them. He couldn't keep his hands off the stick he used to "touch" them.

Claire also had her first taste of candy. She found one of Scotty's hard shell candy eggs on the floor and popped it in her mouth for a few seconds before someone could get it out. Luckily, she didn't swallow (choke) and she didn't get down to the chocolate part (allergies). She puts EVERYTHING in her mouth, little stinker.

Curious George and the Bunny!! I just bought that last week. Strangely, I remember it as one of my favorites when we were little. Did you like it too? I love your Easter and everything you made; love the baja beatle!
holy cow, you are AMAZINGLY talented at sewing things! i LOVE LOVE LOVE her dress! and i also heart those clips and headbands.
My gosh you are a creative family!!! What an awesome weekend, glad you guys had such a great time! It makes me want to take off the whole Easter weekend next year so we can have a "normal" family Easter!
Wow, what a fun day. I absolutely LOVE the dress you made her out of Hy's old shirt. I love the car he made, and everything else. I can see that she's getting more hair and her eyelashes are getting longer. She's so so so cute. What a GREAT post. Sorry I missed it. Maybe next year!!
