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:
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.
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!
