Easter 2011

We had a really fun Easter this year, full of celebrating the risen Christ, enjoying candy and other sweet treats, and fun with friends and family.  Easter morning we did Easter baskets and had semi-homemade cinnamon rolls (I used that pre-made pizza dough they have at Trader Joes).  Then I gave the kids the Easter clothes I had gotten for them.  The girls each got a tutu-ish skirt, and poor little Seth was SO sad he didn't have one.  He cried and threw a fit, then went into the girls room and grabbed a dress-up tutu.  He brought it to me and asked me to put it on him.  So, when we went to our church's worship gathering, all three of my kids were looking adorable in their tutus!

All ready for the kids to wake up!

Watching a show, all decked out in his Easter basket sunglasses and flip-flops...and a tutu, of course!

It was the first morning for our church to meet in our new space, and afterward we had an Easter egg hunt and a potluck breakfast, which was pretty darn fun!

The girls made out pretty well at our church egg hunt!

After the worship gathering we went home and took naps and "quiet time" and I finished getting things ready for having people over.  Then, our friends Lisa, Auntie Laura, Hannah and her kiddos (we missed you, Kevin) and Uncle Nate, Grandpa Steve and Grandma Jackie, and Carey's Uncle John came over.  And our friend Rachel stopped by for a quick visit.  We all enjoyed sunshine and food in the backyard, and the kids enjoyed another Easter egg hunt! (Unfortunately, I didn't get any good pictures of the actual hunting!)

Checking out their finds!

You can't really tell in the picture, but he's got a chocolate egg hanging out the side of his mouth!

Carey didn't feel very well, but then said that "barbequeing healed him"!

Disneyland

I am finally posting about Disneyland.  I've been waiting, because we've been trying to get the "moment of surprise" off the video camera.  But, that'll have to wait!  Anyway, we drove from San Diego to a hotel in Anaheim, telling the kids we were going to go to a fun park.  Once they had eaten and been sunscreened, Carey told them that we were going to Dineyland right then.  They were THRILLED (of course), dancing around and singing a princess song!

We spent three days at Disneyland, and had a great time.  We were all a little tired and a little "edgey" from already having been gone from home for three days, but made it through with minimal tantrums.  The girls were quite the roller coaster riders, going on Space Mountain twice, Big Thunder Mountain, Matterhorn, and the Go Coaster (the little one in Toon Town).  Seth wasn't tall enough for Space Mountain or Big Thunder Mountain, but he did LOVE the Go Coaster, and rode on the Matterhorn (although we're not sure how much he loved that one)!

So excited to be going to Disneyland!

We met Goofy as soon as we walked into the park!  Haley wasn't quite sure, yet, but she watched from the stroller!

Seth LOVED the Merry Go Round!  He went on it 7 times!

It was about 75 degrees, which felt super hot after the cold weather we had gotten used to at home, so we let the kids cool off with popsicles!

Seth's first roller coaster ride.  It's the same roller coaster that Haley and Abby had their first ride on!

Ready for another fun day at the happiest place on earth!

Enjoying Minnie Mouse's bed!

If you look at the back of the coaster, you'll see Carey sitting behind Abby and Seth.  I couldn't believe he let those two sit alone!

Siting on Mickey Mouse's couch

Who knew Mickey Mouse had a garden (and a gopher problem)?!

Seth freaked out as soon as we walked in to meet Mickey, but was quick to wave and say goodbye to him!

Almost our turn to meet some princesses:)

Haley was so sweetly pointing things out in It's A Small World!  They loved that one.

Abby obviously enjoyed It's A Small World!

Disneyland is exhausting!

We had a really fun time playing on Tom Sawyers Island.

The Webbers LOVE Disneyland:)
