Easter 2011

We had a fun Easter weekend this year. It was a lot better compared to the previous year.  Last year we were traveling with our moving truck on Easter Sunday from Utah to Albuquerque the entire day, so we weren't able to do all the Easter things that we normally do. I still remember Brooklyn asking if the the Easter bunny would come to our new house in New Mexico. I have to admit that the Easter bunny did not visit us last year.  I was tired from the move, and still recovering from having a baby, and Rich was busy in school. The last thing on our minds was coloring eggs, doing baskets and making a nice meal. Hopefully we made up for it this year.

So with Brooklyn having Diabetes, we cut WAY back on candy. They had a few treats,  but they mostly got dollar toys like bubbles and kites and a $5.00 movie. They didn't seem to miss all the candy that most of us look forward to each Easter. I think I missed the candy more then my kids, I have a HUGE sweet tooth.  

The Easter Bunny even brought me a new waffle maker.  We've been without a waffle maker for  over a year now, so it was nice of him to surprise me with one. 

After breakfast we went to the primary Easter egg hunt. The primary leaders were nice enough to let Brooklyn exchange her eggs of candy for sugar free candy at the end. 

The white house plays this game every year.

Later that day we went and colored Easter eggs with some friends.
