Our Easter Surprise!


We were visiting my grandma, in California, for Easter. Easter morning my kids found some surprises in their baskets.


The first surprise was that there were five baskets out (we have four kids).


Then they found the shirts and figured out the surprise!


Yep. The Andersons are adding a version 5.0 to the mix. :-)


Another surprise we had on Easter was to be there, sitting at my grandma's table, when we felt an earthquake that lasted about 40 seconds. It was a 7.2. It was centered near Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico. About 120 miles away from us. It was the first time anyone in my family had ever felt an earthquake (except for my family that lives there, of course). My kids were all hyper and excited. Made for a very exciting Easter.

We also had another "first" over the weekend. We went to Disneyland for the first time. I have been many times in my life, though not for about 15 years. But my kids and husband had never been. It was sooooo fun!! I will have to share more about that later!

  1. Congratulations! I have really good intuition about people being pregnant... I totally told Jason last week I thought you were pregnant. Anderson 5.0... Grant didn't have anything to do with that, did he?

    Earthquakes scare me. Everytime I visit California, I think there's going to be a big earthquake and I'm going to die because I'm a bad person. I know, I'm trying to get over that quirk. ;)

    Travis felt the earthquake yesterday. We were at his parents house and felt himself shake. The lights were shaking. It was crazy.
