Easter

On Saturday, we had our awesome community Easter Egg Hunt! The kids got so much stuff there, it was ridiculous.



After the hunt we headed to the Hurricane Easter Car Show and saw lots of cool cars. Nathan drove some huge remote control cars, and Ava had a turn too. There was also a huge slide. We didn't know if Ava would be able to climb it by herself so Tyler was going with her, but she sped to the top and flew down all by herself.



Later that day we dyed our eggs. I got a Monster kit this time. It was hilarious! I have never had so much fun decorating eggs. We dyed them first then let them dry while we ate and were going to put the faces on after dinner. It was Ava's turn to say the blessing and she said "Please bless that our monster eggs will be awesome..." Oh that girl. We were all laughing so hard.


Eric had fun doing the eggs with us and even took them out for a photo shoot, haha!











Easter morning the kids were so excited for their baskets. After they checked out all their goodies we had our own Easter egg hunt, got ready for church, and took pictures of the kids in their Easter outfits. Aren't  they so stinking cute!?!?!






 Poor Nathan couldn't keep his eyes open thanks to the bright sun...I am the same way, sorry Son.  I think we still got some cute ones though!

The night before I got the turkey all ready and a bunch of the stuff done for Easter dinner. I asked my brother to put the turkey in the oven, and about 5 mins after the time to go in I got a call. I was in Primary but luckily I didn't have any responsibilities that day. Eric said the bag was smoking so I rushed home and pulled the turkey out. Of course that was the last bag I had, but I was able to find one stashed in my mom's pantry. Somehow everything managed to be done in time for Tyler's family to come over and eat.

those are the best easter eggs I think I've ever seen!!! No kidding, I laughed out loud when I saw the first one and showed Mark right away, telling him about Ava's cute prayer. You guys are so funny! I'm glad the turkey turned out - I would have been so stressed!

Ava looked sooo pretty in her new outfit! And her prayer! LOL!!!

Those were some awesome monster Easter eggs. Glad you guys had a good weekend and that your turkey didn't burn down the house.

Your eggs are adorable. I need you to teach me how to make cute pillows. We are finishing the basement and I am ordering all new bedding and pillows. The pillow are like $40 a piece. Kind of ridiculous if you ask me!!
