Easter

I know this post is a little late but I wanted to document our Easter. We had a great one. Parker and Penelope participated in their first Easter egg hunt at a park with their 'mommy and me' classmates:



Then on the day before Easter some friends put together a little Easter egg hunt for Parker and Penelope. It was so sweet. The four children, ages 3 to 8, set up the hunt on the lawn next to our home and helped the kids find the eggs and collect them.

Parker was so excited for the book he found, he sat right down to read it.

Easter morning started with the kids opening their cards from Grandpa and Grandma Ballentine. They were SO excited to discover stickers. And not just stickers, stickers of Sesame Street. Parker and Penelope LOVE Sesame Street these days, especially Elmo.




Even Oliver was excited and wanted to wear a sticker:

Later that afternoon we had some friends of ours over for Easter dinner and had a little egg hunt in the backyard. By this time Parker and Penelope knew exactly what to do:

All in all, we had a lovely Easter with lovely sunny weather here in San Diego. Even the earthquake didn't detract from our festivities!!
