Easter 2011

This year Ryann was understanding Easter a lot more than last year.  She was pumped to "dig for eggs", as she called it, days before the big Easter egg hunt.  When it came time for the egg hunt, Ry would run looking for eggs, and when she saw one she would yell, "I found one, I found one."  She enjoyed the hunt soooo much when it was all finished she would take eggs out of her basket run set them in the grass, run back to the porch, and then run and find the eggs she had just hid.  She also participated in the egg throwing in the garden, I'm sure she thought that was just awesome.  It was a great weekend, with people we love being around.

 

 

Zion

We decided to drive to Zion and take Ry on a hike.  She loved it!! We did about a mile, and she walked the entire way.  It was a long mile, for we had to stop and take pictures, walk on some of the walls, and let Ry dig for dinosaur bones, not sure where she came up with that one. 

I had a very hard time getting her to look at me so I could take her pictures.  She is a very busy, energetic, I will do what I want, fun loving girl.

Ry and Anthony.  She insisted on following him when he stepped off the path to take a picture, and if he got to far ahead, she was quick to catch up.

Ryann had to take a fake candle with her to the temple. 

Some of our Christmas Activities.

1. We went and looked at the lights and the nativity scene at the St. Geroge Temple.

2.  I thought it would be fun to attend the Christmas Time at Dixie, at the Nisson's park.......not so great.

3. We attended the live Nativity out at Tuachan.  Ryann was super excited to ride the little train ride.  

 She did really good watching the live Nativity.  Loved the train ride.  Cried for her baby Jesus when it

 was time to go.  Aside from the fit, it was a good night.

4. Christmas Light parade, in Richfield.  Ryann was super pumped about getting to play

with "her Gracy", and to watch a parade, and then the parade started with fireworks.  For some

reason, Ryann is scared of fireworks, and spent the rest of the parade inside the van, looking out the     

window. 

We have seen several Santa's sightings, but Ryann seems to run in the opposite direction, and she doesn't want Santa coming inside her house, she claims it will be okay if Santa leaves the gifts outside.  I might be more excited for Christmas morning than Ryann, I am sure that will change when she gets to see what Santa brought her.
