Well I've come to terms with how old I am. No Easter basket for me this year. I guess graduating, moving out, and getting married isn't what scares the Easter bunny off, its having a baby! Good thing she's worth the sacrifice :) The Easter Bunny did find Hallie. She got books, a movie, a stuffed animal, and a hollow chocolate bunny that she enjoyed for breakfast!
I hope you all had a nice Easter weekend. Ours turned out to be pretty hectic, surprise surprise. I swear one year Im just going to have all of the major holidays at home, and tell everyone else no. I love being with family, but holy cow does it get nuts. Saturday morning Hallie and I went to an easter egg hunt that the apartment complex put on, and Tyler got to meet us there since he was working. They had laid 850+ eggs out in the front lawn, and let everyone go for it. Seven of the eggs were camo and hidden very well; they had gift cards in them for the adults. We let Hallie pick up a few eggs on the ground and then Tyler found one of the camo eggs. Go figure that was the only one Hallie showed interest in. Screw candy, go for the money..she knows whats up.
After Tyler got off of work we went to my Dad's for an Easter dinner. Hallie was a super grump, so bedtime couldnt come fast enough. Sunday we had planned on going to our own ward at 8 am, but when we woke up I felt too stressed with the plans for the rest of the day and didnt end up going. We went out to Queen Creek and went to my mom's ward. Hallie looked SO cute in her Easter dress. I had found the dress at Target almost a month ago. I fell in love with it. But I had no matching headband (shocking I know). So Amy over at http://www.bannerboutiqueonline.com changed the flower on the dress to match the new headband she made for us. It turned out sooo cute! Here's the original dress and flower. I'll post the new one a little further down. 
After Sacrament, and after we got my grumpy husband some food (he turns into a monster when hes hungry), we went up to the mountains for the Porter Easter tradition. One Easter when I was younger, we somehow started the tradition of playing baseball with our colored eggs. It then turned into having egg fights (I hope yolk is good for the hair). Now that were all older it has turned into shooting the eggs. So we packed up all the family guns and went and shot eggs. Tyler and I took turns with Hallie up in a hill, inside the car, walkimg, etc. so she wasnt around for most of the big bangs (some of the eggs were filled with explosives! We're intense, I know). She enjoyed watching her Uncles out the window
After we were done shooting, Tyler and I were supposed to go over to the Picos for an Easter dinner. But of course, our karma ran true and Tyler got called into work for a flood emergency. So I stayed at my moms with Hallie and we ate dinner there. Today Tyler only had to work two hours this morning, so when he got off we took Hallie to the field and took pictures of her in her Easter dress. This is the finished product. I absolutely LOVE how it turned out!!!
