Easter




Well my camera ran out of batteries and we don't have a rechargeable one yet so I haven't taken pictures for a while. These are pictures taken with other people's camera that have my children in them. The one on the bottom is at my mom's house. We had dinner and an easter egg hunt there. It was fun for the kids. They got more candy and have been eating it non-stop. This picture has all of my mom's grandkids in it except for one--Olivia--the youngest who was inside. What a crew they are. The picture on the top is Garrett and his cousin Jayden at Plain City's easter egg hunt (well they through candy on the ground so technically you are hunting candy and not easter eggs). It was a fun time but I only survived because my sister Angie and her husband Travis were there. They had each age group split up and all three of my kids were in a different group and I was by myself. Thankfully Angie took Kylie, Travis took Garrett with Jayden and Shaylee helped me go with Connor. It is fun to get involved in community activities. That is why we are liking Plain City so much. Before that easter egg hunt we had a ward breakfast and easter egg hunt too. You'd think my kids would be easter egg hunted out but they got excited with each new hunt. All of this was on Saturday. On Sunday we got up and have early early church. After church the kids got their easter basket and found the colored eggs we dyed. They liked their baskets. It had little things in it like coloring books, bubbles, chalk, and other little toys. I also bought them Sonic the Hedgehog shirts and if you know my children, they went crazy. They are Sonic freaks!!! Seriously. They never want to take them off. Later that day we went to my in-laws house for dinner and they had an easter egg hunt. (thankfully the eggs were filled with money because I don't think we could have used any more candy). The boys are learning to save some, pay tithing with some and then they get to do with what they want for the rest. They think they are so rich and want to buy things that cost like $30 but they only have like $5. They think you can buy anything in the world if you have $1. Kylie was so cute in her easter dress. My sister-in-law Shauna took pictures of the easter egg hunt when she was in her dress so hopefully I can get a picture of that. Well all-in-all easter was pretty busy but we made sure we stressed to the kids the real reason why we have easter. We went over the easter story over and over so that they had it always in their minds. I can't believe how fast kids grow up. It all flies by so fast.
