Happy Easter 2009

Spring Break! Lin-Ley has had a fun week of goofing off with her friends. The church she has been going to had a theme for each day: silly hat day, pajama day, etc.


Lin-Ley wanted to participate in crazy hair day. So, we worked on her hair for about 30 minutes the night before putting in as many braids as we could.












The purpose of the braids was to have her hair look wild and wavy the next morning after we took out the braids.














However, the more she looked at herself in the mirror she thought perhaps she might just leave the braids in instead.
Because that was not the initial plan, and I had not braided her hair in the neatest fashion, we finally compromised the next morning by taking out all of the braids except for the two nearest to her face.










The following day was Sports Day at both of their schools. Lin-Ley's hair is still rather wild from the braids.

We're not exactly sure what's going on with Tru's latest smiles for the camera.











Good Friday meant even the church was closed (for child care) so Lin-Ley had to join me at work. She was greeted with Easter baskets from Granny Howard. She had made a beautiful basket for both of the kids. Lin-Ley was more than happy to accept on Tru's behalf!




Of course we had to dye Easter eggs on Saturday.

Tru took advantage of the eggs that burst during the boiling.













Lin-Ley watches the clock until she can remove the eggs from the dye.

Tru is eating another egg but for some reason needs to smell it first.


Another egg (to eat)!



Time to get ready for the Easter Bunny!
Baskets out - ready to be filled.


A snack for the Easter Bunny. Celery, an egg shaped cookie and a glass of water.


Goofing around.












Trying to put off bed time as long as possible.















The Easter Bunny arrived at last.

Lin-Ley loved her Littlest Pet Shop animals and Tru was thrilled with his Choo-Choo.



Early morning candy consumption..












Time for church.
Lin-Ley was so happy to be wearing her new "Cinderella" dress.
So proud!
















Tru - not so happy! He decided that he did not want to wear his new outfit. Once I forced it onto his body he began screaming and tried to pull his vest and shirt off. This photo came about 30 minutes later. Still not happy!
















Ready to go. There was a big Easter Egg hunt after church.
















Annual visit with the Easter Bunny!











There's Tru new smile again.

Happy Easter!!
