Easter 2010

When I first saw this picture of Isabella doing an Easter Egg hunt in our backyard, I completely freaked out. I'm sure it looks worse than it was and Isabella wasn't even close to jumping off the ledge....

Needless to say, our Easter plans changed dramatically when Evelyn decided to make her arrival the day before Easter. We had planned on taking Isabella to an Easter egg hunt on Saturday and then dying eggs. Then on Sunday we were going to go to church and Grandpa Groves was coming for brunch and then we were going to go to the Iverson's in the afternoon for another egg hunt.

Uncle John and Aunt Kristy took care of Bella all day on Saturday. They took her to the Easter egg hunt, but unfortunately it was very crowded and Isabella's age range group was 1-5 year old so all she got was 1 hard boiled egg (I know, hard-boiled egg at an Easter egg hunt?).

Then afterwards they all came to visit us in the hospital.


On Sunday, Grandpa Groves still came to visit, but just came to the hospital instead.




In the afternoon Uncle John came to get Isabella and take her to Kristy's family Easter. She enjoyed playing with the younger kids there and then they came back to our place and did an Easter egg hunt with Isabella. With no competition, it looked like she had a lot more fun.




One other thing to note on Easter is that all Saturday night while I was in the hospital I was starving and looking forward to breakfast in which they were serving "Easter egg" I thought that since it was Easter, they might be having a special breakfast. When it arrived, I was sad to see that there was no food on my tray. "Easter egg" was a hard-boiled egg! I thought to take a picture of it, but to be fair it was after I devoured the bacon. No worries, the hospital has a nourishment area with bread, bagels, etc that I was sure to take advantage of. The next morning, I was thrilled to see much more food on my tray.

My Easter breakfast... that bread thing is a hotcross bun, (a dinner roll with frosting and those weird jelly things)


Next morning's breakfast was much better.

We ended up dying eggs with Grandma Linda later on in the week.
