Easter Dinner with Cousins
We had the Sorenson extended family over for Easter dinner. We picked the traditional Sorenson-style Easter dinner: leg of lamb, twice-baked taters, asparagus, and orange rolls. Everyone was able to attend with the exception of Matt, who is traveling with his golf team. We had a nice dinner and then used the attic for the second time today for an Easter egg hunt. Kristy took some pictures of the kids during the hunt:

Berkeley, Age 5 Nathan, Age 2 Jenna, Age 7 Eliana, Age 4 Ebey, Age 5 Isabella, Age 4 Olivia, Age 1

Not pictured: Emily (age 2) and Andrew (age 8 months).

After all was said and done, it was time to count up the loot and separate the good stuff from the bad. For Berkeley, this means giving all of his chocolate stuff away to his sisters.

Separating the wheat from the tares.

Easter Morning
We had a fun Easter morning with the kids. Kristy had all of the stuff (baskets, presents, clothes) set out last night for the kids to find when they came downstairs after waking up. The kids were pretty excited to find the baskets already had some candy, but disappointed they weren't allowed to eat any until after breakfast. While the kids ate breakfast, I hid a bunch of eggs up in the attic. We usually hide eggs in the living room, but the attic proved to be a much better place for the hunt - better hiding places and much much more room! Here are some pictures:

After the gifts were opened, the eggs found, and a unmeasurable amount of candy had been consumed, we dressed up for some Easter portraits. Apologies in advance for the poor focus on the family portrait... I need to break out the manual for that camera and read up on the self-timer thing and setting focus points or something. However, not all is lost... the one of the three kids is fantastic. Enjoy!
