Easter Weekend '08

My parents came for a visit over Easter weekend. We played a lot, ate some good food, colored and hunted eggs and saw some sights. First stop...the annual Easter Pageant and the Mesa Temple. This was a first for all of us.

As the cast was moseyin' around before it started Parker honed in on the Roman guards. The first guy let him hold a sword. He pretty much lost interest in looking up and smiling at the camera at that point.

I have no idea who these extra two kids in the picture are. They wanted their picture taken so bad and who knows where their mom was. The Centurion thought they all belonged to me so he posed with all of them until I took the picture and then he went on to the next kid who wanted a picture so I missed that photo op.

I had to beg Lexi to come with me to get her picture with these girls.

Lexi's dress is soooo cute. I want a girl. They are fun to shop for at every age, aren't they? Well, maybe not when they are teenagers.

I love it! You really have a gorgeous family. And I think that the photo with Parker's mysterious unknown brothers is a crack up!

Love the 'extras' in the picture with Parker.

Easter is such a great holiday--coloring eggs, beautiful clothes, snowy weather . . . for us Idahoans!!

"How do you do that?" - that was me my whole childhood. And I love how Parker went into character instantly when handed the sword!
