Easter

Our Easter was nice and quiet this year. I was so chill, I hardly took any pictures. Saturday we had our annual community Easter Egg Hunt. The kids got lots of DQ and Wendy's certificates(score!)and some good candy and prizes too. Shay & Maria brought Emery up for it and then we all headed back to our place for donuts, strawberries, and juice. It was nice to just sit and relax in the back yard with them while the girls played in the dirt and the boys played football.

 

In the afternoon dyed eggs then we went down to the Art Festival to watch Meg dance. She was awesome of course. After grabbing snowcones we all went to Chick-fil-A for dinner.

 
 Sunday we managed to squeeze in our own egg hunt before 9 am church. The kids were so excited about their baskets and hunting for eggs. I really think less is more sometimes. I usually do quite a few toys in baskets, but this year we decided they have way too much stuff so they got candy and one little toy each. Plus the eggs we hide always have coins (quarters this year) which they think is the coolest. I also got them each a new Lego Minifigure and hid it's parts in different eggs.

 
Here are the kids in their new Easter outfits...Poor Nathan can NOT take pictures outside in the morning...the sun is so hard on his eyes no matter which way he is facing!

I was pretty tired after church. Our sweet friends, the Carter's are leaving for their mission in 10 days, and it was their farewell. The church had more people then Stake Conference! Lots of people love the Carters :) I served in Primary with Kristine~ she is like a Mom to me. We are going to miss them! I had to lead the music in primary so after being emotional in Sacrament, and then standing for 2 hours waving my arm I was beat. After church we headed to the Carter's for lunch, then came home and vegged. Kristine gave the kids chocolate and when we got home Nathan took one piece and said, "I am going to save this until she gets home." They love her lots. I made a nice little Easter feast with Ham, cheesy scalloped potatoes, rolls, salad, deviled eggs, and raspberry swirl cheesecake. We were all so full that we just laid around after dinner.
