Happy Easter!

We can hardly believe that it is Easter already. Matt and I both said Easter 2009 sounds like it should be far in the future. We were kind of hoping that baby sister would make her grand appearance by Easter Sunday, but so far no luck! She is sure giving me some contractions and she's been teasing us about coming, but we're still waiting. It's still a week and a half away from her due date, but I've been having contractions and labor signs for the past week, and I'm dialated to 4 cm., so hopefully we'll get to meet her soon.



We have really enjoyed celebrating with Matisyn this year. She's so into the holidays. Last Wednesday we colored eggs together. She loved dunking the eggs, and put stickers all over each of them. We put the eggs in a bowl together and Matisyn thought we were putting them to sleep in the refrigerator. Saturday we had a very fun egg hunt with the cousins at Matt's parents' house. They got to hunt for eggs, some of them with their names on them, that held puzzle pieces. The puzzle was a clue to where to find their special prize. To get ready for the hunt the cousins gathered by the door and Uncle Mike helped them start chants like "Let us out" and "We want eggs", which Matisyn has continued to walk around the house yelling today!

Today Matisyn woke up and was very excited to see what the Easter Bunny had brought her. She loved her treats and special toys. Then Mike, Alison, and Jens came over to have breakfast with us, and Jens and Matisyn had a little Easter egg hunt together. We have loved having them in town this week. They were very cute, and are so funny together. They have a similar personality and are both very vocal! Here they are searching for eggs outside in the beautiful Easter weather.






Matisyn asked to pose on the table with her favorite holiday decoration. She loves rearranging the eggs over and over again!Just before church, we snapped a few pictures. I liked this one with my two girls!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and got to spend time enjoying family and friends! I'm about to sit down to a delicious ham dinner prepared by my wonderful husband! I'm feeling spoiled!
