Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday was another beautiful spring day.  After church Hector's parents came over for Easter Brunch.

We had another egg hunt at home.  By this time Alice was a pro.

More Eggs!

Saturday afternoon after the Farmers Market we did some egg decorating.  It was nice and sunny, so we were able to dye the eggs outside.
Even though Louis explained that they were hard boiled, Alice kept trying to crack the eggs on the side of the cups.  The she got the pink dye and wouldn't let anyone else use it.  That's why we ended up with only one pink egg.



The finished product.

Easter Egg Hunt

I hope everyone had a very happy Easter.  We had a busy weekend here.  The weather was absolutely gorgeous, and we spent every minute outside that we possibly could. 

Saturday morning we met our friends Doug and Amanda, and their son Ben, at the Farmers Market for the annual Easter egg hunt.


Alice and Ben were worn out from all the excitement.
Louis' group was mass chaos.  I tried to get a picture of him, but he took off too quickly.
I did get a picture of him with the Easter Bunny.

More Bulbs, and Some Soccer

We've had a few more bulbs pop up lately that I thought I'd share; the hyacinths, and some of our tulips (just the white ones).
The forsythia has also started blooming like crazy, so we know spring is definitely here.
During a break in the weather Louis tried to teach Alice to be a goalie.

She was a little unclear on the concept.

Farmers Market Opening Weekend

This weekend was the opening weekend of the Vancouver Farmers Market.  Visiting the farmers market is one of our favorite things to do.  We were lucky and it was sunny, if a little chilly.
 The kids loved the playground.


 Alice got a balloon doggie and Louis got a sword.

No trip to the market would be complete without flowers.

More Weekend Fun

Here's a few more pictures of the kids from this weekend.

Alice had a lot of fun playing with the sandbox. Filling up her bucket, dumping her bucket out, filling up her bucket, and so on.




Louis decided to mow the lawn all by himself, and he actually did a pretty decent job.

Spring is Springing!


Spring is, well, springing up all over the place here.

We have crocuses,
daffodils,
and a robin.
We even had our first picnic of the year.
