Happy Easter '09!

We had a great Easter! It was a weekend full of festivities! First off, Gibson got to stay at his Aunt Meili's house for 3 days and spend spring break with his cousins. He had a ball! He ended his stay with an Easter Egg Hunt up there.

Then on Saturday afternoon, we dyed our Easter Eggs. We bought a kit this year that had metallic stuff you could decorate the eggs with. They turned out really cool!
On Easter morning, Gibson got to find his Easter basket and eggs left by the Easter Bunny. (Do you think he likes Spongebob?)

Then Gibson got to go to (yet) another Easter egg hunt. This one was at Union Middle School and it was a lot of fun! The prizes are good and it's organized. He got to see his friend, Ella, there.

Watch him in this video - he's got the hunt DOWN!
Then it was off on a bike ride on the Jordan River Parkway Trail to test our new bikes! After a 'heated argument' Gibson finally got on his new tandem bike. We had to put on his old training wheels so that psychologically he would feel safe (note - the training wheels don't even touch the ground). He had so much fun that next weekend he wants to go all the way down the entire trail! (And he said we could take the training wheels off).
After the ride, it was off to Grandma and Grandpa's house for a delicious turkey dinner! And another Easter Egg Hunt!
Gibson and Carter searching for their eggs:
Grandma was smart and color-coded them. The blue ones were for Gibson; orange for Carter; pink/purple for Brooke.

The grandkids after their egg hunt: Carter, Brooke & Gibson
Paige was helping Gibson open his eggs - he didn't know what to think of that!
We were so glad the weather turned out nice and that we could be outdoors. The family: (I thought I had a pic of Corbin/Casey & fam, but I don't - maybe Casey will send me hers).
Mom and Dad!Courtney, Lukas and Daryl!
Brady, Christen & Gibson!
