Happy Easter


We had fun this year just doing a little hunt at our house. We also dyed eggs the night before. This was a first for us. Maybe it's a bad mom thing, but I don't like my kids getting dirty. I know they're kids and they will clean up, but I just had night mares of the stained hands and everything. But luckily this year was General Conference so we didn't have to worry about showing up to church dyed different colors! But it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm trying!!

We got up and the kids got their Easter baskets.

Waiting patiently!

Digging in! I think they liked everything they got. Especially the candy! The night before I was telling Andrew that the Easter bunny was going to come and bring them an Easter basket. Then I figured I would tell him why we celebrate Easter. I was explaining to him about the Resurrection and how Jesus died and then came back to life for us. After I said that Jesus had died and came back to life, Andrew informed me that he turned into a bunny. At that point I knew that I should have explained the Resurrection first and then went on to the Easter bunny. Live and learn I guess. But I did think it was kind of funny.


Here are some of the pics from the Easter hunt. Emma was helping Paisley put eggs in her basket. She has become such a big helper lately and I'm enjoying having 2 big helpers. Especially with Brody on his way.

Here's my little man getting a few eggs.

After everything was done we had some happy kiddos! Great picture of them all! I was pleased.



A little video of the hunt.

Hope everyone had a great and blessed day!
