Amanda and the Hendersons

I decided that I needed to blog about the nursery before the room actually has an occupant. The lighting in there is not the greatest, so the pictures could definitely be better.  It is my favorite room in the house.........I love it! I love it because the entire family has been involved in its creation.... I love it because Paysen and I spent a lot of extra time together making things in there.

Luckily, the bug was a quick mover......knocking them out and then moving on. We welcomed the boys' Nana and my little sis over for some egg decorating, and Easter dinner.  We used Koolaid to "dye" the eggs this year.....smelled delicious and worked pretty well.....and then we drank the left overs when we were done....(kidding of course!) We missed church this year.............but thankfully the boys know the exact reason that we celebrate Easter.  It was a good holiday, all things considered.......but after all, how can you go wrong if you are all together!
