EASTER

On Saturday our ward had an Easter Egg hunt and lunch. The kids had a good time. We were a little late (imagine that) so we barely made it in time for the hunt, therefore I did not get pictures of them gathering eggs, but here are a few of them inspecting their finds.
The primary presidency encouraged the kids to invite their non member friends to this activity. So Haley was determined to follow their instructions and she invited one of her best friends from school, Skyler. They had a great time.

Maddy was delighted to find candy inside the eggs! She actually was not fast enough to pick up any eggs, but her sister and brother were kind enough to share their eggs with her. She didn't seem to mind. I don't think she even new what was going on.

Saturday evening coloring Easter eggs for the Easter Bunny to hide! (just a side note: Haley questioned the validity of the Easter Bunny this year. She asked we while driving home from the store, "mom, is there really an Easter Bunny?" "It would be so easy for you and Dad to put that stuff out, I mean is there really a giant bunny, I don't think so." Don't worry I assured her that as hard as it may seem to believe there really is a giant bunny that roams around hiding eggs and giving away candy. She is too much of a thinker!)

Scotty's Star Wars eggs!

Haley's glittery, happy faced eggs!

EASTER MORNING! Scott went out Easter morning and said, "It looks like Christmas out there! I think the Easter Bunny may have gone a little overboard this year, but he knew exactly what the kids needed for their upcoming trip to Florida! Haley woke us up that morning at 6:30. You would have thought it was Christmas morning. It was all Scott and I could do to peel our eyes open. We were up until around 2 that morning. Scott was working on our master bathroom. That is another post for a later date. But he has a deadline to complete the tile work before our trip, so he has been working hard. After the kids found all their eggs and ate breakfast Scott and I were able to catch a little shut eye. I think this is the first Sunday I was grateful for 1 o'clock church.
We tried for a family photo shoot after church. This is what we got... a lot of pictures of our willing girls. Scotty as usual had run off to play with someone. It is OK since he didn't even get to wear his Easter outfit to church. Yes he snuck outside to play while we were busy getting the girls ready and when we found him he was a mess. We were not able to salvage his outfit. In fact he had to get in the shower and we had to iron all new clothes about 10 minutes before church started. What can I say he is ALL BOY!
