I'm splitting our Easter pictures into two different posts, as there are too many for one. :-)
This first one covers Saturday and Sunday with Greg's side of the family.
Here's Ellie in her 'Easter shirt' she got in her Easter basket on Saturday morning. (I didn't buy the girls matching Easter dresses this year, since with General Conference, we wouldn't be actually attending an actual public meeting on Sunday morning. The girls did get matching shirts and jackets though.)
Also, check out her new Cinderella necklace and purse. Stylin'.

Here's Ellie & Annie searching for Easter Eggs with some help from Grandpa KC on Saturday afternoon.

Ellie getting some Easter egg hints from Grandma Ruth.

Annie happily showing off her full basket.

Ellie was loving the whole idea of Easter eggs and baskets and finding candy all over the place. This is possibly her new favorite holiday.

Here's Ellie with her basket outside.

Because the menfolk had the Priesthood Session of General Conference to attend on Saturday evening, us girls (including Aunt Andrea and Grandma Ruth) got treated to dinner at Mimi's Cafe by Grandma. Here's Annie and Andrea.

Ellie all, "Dude, how can my pudding cup be gone already?!"

Little Miss Cheesy.

Ellie hanging out with Grandma Ruth.


Then, on Sunday morning, we headed back over to Grandma & Grandpa's house for a way tasty Easter breakfast, and to watch the first Sunday session of General Conference together (this is a tradition whether it's Easter or not). This is a cheesy self portrait of me before driving there, since I wanted to make sure I showed up in at least one picture this weekend. :-)

Ellie forced her Grandparents into about 15 rounds of "Ring Around the Rosies." She was laughing so hard, it was contagious. This is what Conference becomes when you're trying to watch it with two kids three years and younger.


Ellie right after the whole "all fall down" part . . .

Annie, just 'cause I had very few shots of Annie Easter morning.
Greg mentioned my photography being fairly 'Ellie-centric' as of late, but it comes down to Ellie being a complete ham, and constantly jumping in front of the camera, where it just doesn't really interest Annie right now.

Ellie playing with salt dough during Conference. Daddy was having fun with it too.

Around 12:30 or so, we headed over to my parent's house for some more family festivities (with about 20 people or so getting together at their house). But those pictures will be in the next post . . .

Ha! Easter Post the First. wonder where you heard that from?
So cute! Remember Annie's Easter at Ellie's age. It was also her favorite Holiday. Annie asked for easter eggs for her birthday.
I love those photos of Ellie where her eyes disappear... "rainbow eyes" as an elder in my mission called them. Just two little rainbow shaped slits that can't look any darn happier. Love it. :)
I'm a guy and the way you speak of your Uncle Karl brings tears to my eyes. These 'perfect' people that we have the priveledge to be around, let alone actually know and love, are angels in our midst. They are the ones we think are unfortunate but unfortunately we are the unfortunate ones. Thank you!
