Easter 2009 in Eagle River

Our first Easter in Alaska was really laid-back, fun and snowy :)  We started opening Easter boxes from Arizona on Friday, dyed eggs on Saturday and went to church on Sunday morning. The church sponsored a huge egg hunt between services on Sunday (indoors) and the kids got to look for eggs with their friends.  We had a super yummy Easter dinner at the Sutterfields' on Sunday evening complete with an Italian Creme lamb cake, my fave!!  It was great fun....

Kara and Clay dying eggs on Saturday afternoon.. Kara had some dry heaves at the smell of the hard boiled eggs.  OK, so they're kind of smelly.. but honestly, where did she get that sensitive gag reflex (again, looking around, avoiding all eye contact).
Sunday morning before church... not eating candy but blueberry muffins.. we were really running like crazy with church meeting at 8:15.  We really needed those extra 45 minutes.  OH well.
A quick picture w/mom and kids before the snow really picked up.
Fokker and the kids.....
Not 5 minutes later it was really coming down... nothing stuck (happy).  NO MORE SNOW!

There is nothing wrong with a healthy gag reflex. Also, I love Clay's outfit...with the Cars crocs! Love you guys! See you soon!
