Easter 2010

It was a great Easter at the Ryan house! We started the festivities early with an Easter egg hunt on Thursday.

Kendra was disappointed that she only got three eggs...it took a lot of consoling for her to understand that three isn't so bad, and she'd be getting more.

Friday, we dyed Easter eggs, a favorite activity of ours.

Kendra made an egg especially for AJ's first Easter. It was past her bedtime, so she was not exactly appreciative...

Until she realized that she could, in fact, actually put the egg in her mouth.

Sunday we had the family over for Easter dinner.

After we ate, Kendra got to hunt for eggs...

She seemed happy with the 25 eggs she found hidden in our yard.

We were blessed with GORGEOUS weather, and spent the entire afternoon outside playing, visiting, and just enjoying each other!

It was a great day...a day that we will hold dear to our hearts for a very long time!
