Easter 2011

We had a very fun and busy Easter this year. John Turner seemed to enjoy this holiday more than any other so far. He would tell people, "Happy Easter Egg!". He thought the holiday was called Easter Egg Day!

We dyed eggs with John Turner on Saturday afternoon. He did such a fabulous job with it this year. He had dyed some with his teachers at school earlier in the week so he was a pro when we did on Saturday! He kept telling us, "Put the eggs in very softly!". He checked them a million times while they were in the dye to see if they were ready. He was very proud of them when they were all done!

Sunday morning when we woke up, the Easter Bunny had left John Turner an amazing basket of goodies! He was beyond excited about his prizes! His faces in the pictures below are priceless. He was most excited about the "monies" that the Easter Bunny had left him in some eggs. He loves getting money for his piggy bank. We count it at least once a day! There was also a flashlight in his basket. Daddy was glad about this because now John Turner won't have to play with his flashlights anymore! He also got some new markers, bubbles, coloring books, stickers, a singing toothbrush, a Sing-a-ma-jig, Weebles for his Weeble Tree House, and of course a bunch of candy!

After eating some of our candy for breakfast, we all got dressed up and headed to Easter services at our church. It was a very, very hot Easter Sunday here!

Of course, this little wild monkey didn't want me to get a good picture of him in his cute little Easter clothes. This is the best one I got! He looked so handsome and so grown!

And we couldn't forget to snap a picture of sweet baby Judson. I was 24 weeks pregnant Sunday!

After church, we went out to Carlton's Grandparents to eat and hunt more eggs! We left there and spent the afternoon with my parents. We love being close enough to be able to spend holidays with our families!
