Easter!

Wow! I am so behind in blogging, but I will try to get caught up. I have been slacking lately (and blogger has been annoying....). Anyway, it is time to tell about all of our Easter festivities, and there was A LOT! So here we go:

Play Group Easter Hunt

The boys had a lot of fun (especially Jack) finding Easter eggs hidden around the church. They both had even more fun eating the treats out of the eggs later! Here is pictures from the hunt:

Sharing the loot after.

Making Easter Sugar Cookies

Jack and I love any excuse to make cookies and decorate them! Earlier in the week Jack had two of his friends over to make cookies and decorate them. Other than a "Sprinkle Fiasco" where Jack and Milan decided to throw sprinkles all over the kitchen floor "for Chewie".... it was pretty fun! Of course Jack and I had to make and decorate more later in the week too! :)

Easter Egg Hunts

Jack had fun doing a couple of Easter egg hunts around town. There was not really any exciting ones. I think he got a total of 6 eggs (just 1 egg from one of the hunts!) but he still had fun. Oh and he got to meet the Easter Bunny! Here are some highlights of his hunting, him with his friends at the hunts, and Zander NOT enjoying the grass again.

Snuggle time with Z.

Coloring Easter Eggs!

Jack was very excited when we got "egged" by someone.

While the boys finished dinner on Saturday night, the Easter Bunny must have stopped by. He left the boys pajamas, a bedtime story, and a note telling them to get to bed so he could come by later. He reminded them if they were awake he couldn't leave them anything... :)

Jack finally actually got the story read after Zander got down!

Easter Morning

Here is Jack with his loot. (The Easter Bunny got some good deals after Christmas on clearance toys!) So Jack was VERY excited to finally get a Buzz Lightyear and Woody from "Toy Story."

Here is Z checking out his loot.

Z wasn't so sure about his dinosaur that stomps and roars. He would kind of crawl away or push it over if it got too close. Now he likes it though.

Here is our family after church on Easter Sunday.

We had a great Easter full of fun activities, treats, and lots of family time. Most importantly though we are so thankful for our Savior, for what he went through in Gethsemane in suffering for our sins, for the ultimate sacrifice on the cross, and for the Him rising from tomb. The Atonement in our life is so important, and we are so blessed. Happy Easter!
