Happy Easter

We had a great Easter. The weather was nice for the weekend, and we were able to get in several activities. On Sunday, between conference sessions, we died eggs with the kids. They had a fun time doing that. Sydnee really loved it, until all the eggs were done and she wanted to do more. You can see where she lays her head on the table to throw her fit at the end! Jaxson ate most of the eggs after they had played with them for a while, he really likes eggs. Since we didn't have church (at the church building anyway) we didn't do Easter outfits this year. But we all had a nice day together at home.





This year, Easter fell on the same weekend as General Conference. So the kids had plenty of time to get up and explore their baskets. Not that it would have mattered if we had church at 9, since they were up at 7 to see what the Easter bunny had brought! The Easter bunny knows they eat too much candy when they get it, so he decided to bring summer toys this year. Items for the pool, chalk, bubbles, and some new pajamas for Shaye, with just a little bit of candy!





We were invited by our friend, Amanda Vaclaw, to a brunch and egg hunt Saturday morning. The brunch was amazing... waffles, crepes, cinnamon rolls, casseroles, fruit, muffins, everything you could want! And the egg hunt was lots of fun for all the kids. Sydnee had practiced some around the house with Shaye and Jaxson hiding eggs for her during the week, so she was ready to go. It was fun to watch her on her first hunt. Shaye and Jaxson of course collected tons, but Shaye was sweet enough to share.

okay the brunch sounds delicious! i really enjoyed having Easter over conference weekend because we didn't have to rush around, but got to really enjoy the day with the kids! my kids dyed eggs too, but after the first couple they were done! I think your Easter bunny was smarter by bringing summer toys and not so much candy! My kids ate way too much candy and getting them to settle down for bed was a nightmare! I am excited to see the new little one! I have been thinking about you all week!
