Easter at the Buhrley's...

The Easter bunny comes

to our house on Saturday!

(makes for a fun Saturday,

and wonderfully peaceful Easter Sunday!)

After finding eggs around the house,

we dyed our own.

It's a good thing this is a fun tradition--because it is a messy one!

Saturday night we made Easter cookies.

The recipe takes you through the scriptures

and the last days of our Savior.

You leave the cookies in the "tomb" overnight,

and in the morning you have a hollow cookie,

and a sweet visual of Christ's resurrection.

After church on Sunday, we tried to get a few photo's!

The older kids seemed to disappear...

but we cornered these two!

However, you will see-

Justin was in quite the goofy mood!

The kids are- obviously- not shy in front of a camera.

But..they are used to me taking

candid photo's of them ...

so when I asked them to hold hands

and walk away from me--

they thought I had lost it!

As I was taking this photo,

a giggling Gracie turns to Justin-

and very quietly says, "this is sooo dumb."

You could see the wheels turning in Justin's head--

(if you look closely at this picture you can see it in his eyes!)

as if saying... "yah, this is dumb!!
and, WHY - are we doing this !?"

That's all it took-they were off and running,

never to return.

Candid photo's are more fun anyway...

Happy Easter!
