Easter/Lindsey's Birthday

We love Easter around here...Spencer and I are candy fiends. Spencer is getting old enough that the holiday's are starting to get really fun for him.

Lindsey and I spend Friday morning making Easter food. We made a lot of deviled eggs, and egg salad (especially with Scott and my dad in mind since my mom and eggs don't mix...so my dad never really gets any "egg" food). I also found this recipe for "chickie" (as Spencer calls them) cupcakes. Later that evening, we decided to color Easter eggs.

"Good job Spencer, your so awesome at coloring eggs..." Turn my back for 2 seconds....

Busted....switched from coloring his egg to coloring Lightning Mcqueen. Spencer has really been getting into his coloring lately. He will sit there forever, until every part of the page is colored. Too bad this Easter picture ended up being entirely black.

We spent Saturday at the annual Mortensen Easter egg hunt. By the way, this is the only picture will see of me for awhile, since roundness and the camera don't mix.

He's on a mission...and it's serious business :)

This would be the little kid hunt in the pasture...and it was really cold, and windy this year
And the older group got their own hunt in the front yard

Easter morning, Spencer and Scott received their Easter basket...Spencer loves hunting around with dad...He stood here forever before he noticed his Easter basket hiding on the other side of his train table:) Amongst other things our spoiled 2 year old received, he found a little Luici and Guido in 2 of his eggs. Wednesday, April 7th was Lindsey's birthday. Sometimes we go out to eat, and sometimes we order pizza..this was a pizza year. We just had our usual eating and presents birthday party. Wasn't anything fancy, but anything with the word "party" in it gets Spencer and Alex excited. Check out that cake...it was awesome....the entire family are chocolate fiends as well (except for Scott), so a chocolate on chocolate cake was amazing.
