samantha's first easter!

after celebrating the march birthdays we started making preparations for easter, which fell on march 31st this year, and we had agreed to host at our house.  this meant big spring-time yard work, repairing landscape lights that hadn't worked properly since we moved in in august, and doing other general maintenance and spring-cleaning type things.  when the day arrived we had a great turn-out and a great time, despite the fact that my grandmother had been admitted to the hospital the night before.  she is doing well now, but we were all very sad that she and my grandpa couldn't make the trip up to celebrate the holiday with us.  and while sammy didn't seem too interested in hunting eggs for her very first easter, noah had *such* a great time that we started throwing the eggs back on the ground once they were collected just so he could pick them up again.  i think it helped that the day before we had attended the neighborhood easter egg hunt in the park, so he had a chance to practice and understand what this egg-hunting thing was all about :)
so, enough words, here are a *ton* of pictures for this post from easter

"eggs!!!"
