Happy Easter!

Egg coloring time! See how giddy Eric is?

The kids were all envious of his egg coloring abilities and tried their best to mimic them. Maybe someday they'll be as great as their dad! I think this is my favorite part of all the Easter festivities. The kids love it, too. Their skills are greatly increasing. We had very few casualties this year!


My picture taking was pretty random on Easter. The kids checked out their baskets first thing in the morning and then found the eggs they had colored throughout the house.

Much to their delight, the hunt continued outside. Finally - eggs with something good in them! I'm not sure how the Easter Bunny got in my backyard, given all the trouble his relatives give my garden!

However, he did, and the Easter Bunny hid one golden egg with all of the others and Carter was the lucky winner. It was his pride and joy. He carried it around all day and tortured his brother and sister with it. He knew there was money in it by shaking it, but he wouldn't actually open it to count it because they wanted him to so bad. Stinker!

Ian was plain overjoyed by all of the celebrations!

We enjoyed a yummy breakfast, then watched the first session of General Conference. What a great way to spend Easter! Between sessions, we drove to Gilbert to Cari's house. We watched the second session and then had a scrumptious dinner with her family and Cody and Emily. We made it home late, but it was all worth it. I love holidays. Happy Easter!
