EASTER

Our Easter celebration for this year was kept pretty low key.First, we dyed eggs when my parents visited us back in the beginning part of April.

The Easter bunny comes and visits us on the Friday night before Easter.

The kids were so excited to see what the Easter bunny brought. They quickly lined up youngest to oldest, like we do for Christmas, to go and see what the Easter bunny brought them. Each child received a movie and some various candy. Emmy was excited to find Easter egg GUM(I received this every year in my basket from the Easter Bunny).
After the kids went through their baskets, the kids went looking for the Easter eggs that were left around the house and outside. The kids thought it was so cool that some of the eggs had MONEY inside (you know, pennies).The kids went through their loot quickly before their first soccer game of the season. After the soccer game, we went to our ward's Easter party. The kids had a great time doing various activities and hunting for eggs.On Easter Sunday, we had to be to church by 8:00, since I sing in the choir, so I didn't get a before church picture. All I got was an after church one with two semi happy kids and another child who was sulking in the house.For Easter dinner, I slaved all day making this fabulous meal...well, what really happened Brandon made pancakes shaped as an Easter bunny that were a big hit for the kids.One of my favorite things we did this year was a FHE lesson Ben and Emmy brought home from primary the day after Easter. It was a great time to truly focus on the true meaning of Easter which is our Savior's atonement.
