Easter

I know that these Easter pictures are a little late but I wanted to make sure that I got some up.

On Saturday we took Annika to a neighborhood Egg hunt. At first she didn't understand what we were doing, but I think that by the end, she had it all figured out! If was a lot of fun to watch her run around. But once she had really figured out what were in the eggs all she did was sign for more candy all day long. She would see an egg, even if it was empty she started signing and wanted more candy. It was a lot of fun!

On Saturday night Annika woke up crying and she cried for about an hour and a half straight. I didn't know what was wrong. Then she started getting a fever. She had a cough for a couple of days but the fever was new. I gave her some Tylenol and she went back to sleep. Annika got some blocks from the easter bunny and it had a flower block in it, and we were teaching her how to smell it. What a funny kid.

Brian stayed home with her from church so I was kinda sad, she didn't even get to wear her easter dress to church. Well after church we went up to South Jordan for dinner with the family. Gavin was in Florida so he missed a wonderful meal, but we ate dinner, and Annika was actually acting like she wanted to do something other than lay around so we had an egg hunt for her. She had a lot of fun, but now she knew what was in the eggs and kept trying to open them before she was done picking them all up.

Sunday night, nobody in our house got any sleep. Annika was up pretty much all night. She would sleep a little bit then wake up crying. I took Annika to the doctor on monday morning and she has an ear infection. So we got some medicine, and kept giving her more Tylenol and we came home and took a nap. Poor Brian went to work and was not very productive, so he took a half day and we spent the afternoon laying on the couch and trying to recoup. (I guess we just really need our sleep!) That night after dinner Annika perked right up and started feeling and acting like her old self. It is so nice to see your kids start feeling better after they are sick!

Now fast forward a week.... Friday night we went up to Logan, the family was having a baby shower for my cousin Kelsey so me and Annika went to that and Brian went and hung out with the boys. Fixing lawn mowers i think. Saturday afternoon we went and visited Brian's grandparents. Then we came back to my parents and had another easter egg hunt! This time Annika definetly knew what she was doing and what was in the eggs. She didn't even pick up all of her eggs because she was so busy eating her candy.

We had a great Easter... and celebrating it for a whole week was a lot of fun! I think that we have too much candy at our house right now, so if anyone wants to come help us eat it. Come on Down!
