Easter!

The kids were so excited to see what the Easter Bunny had brought them. I thought that it was Christmas because they were so excited. I tried not to do too much because I really want the kids to understand the true meaning of Easter and why we celebrate it. So don't worry, we did talk about it. Actually we asked the kids why we celebrate Easter and Henrys response was 'For Carters(his friend) moms Birthday.' She is his primary teacher and had just had a birthday, it was cute. We did correct him, sorry Becky it isn't all about you! I had gotten little skateboards after Thanksgiving and forgot about them, so this was a good opportunity to give them to the kids, then they each got a movie and a few other goodies.

Henry and Morgan got to go to a little neighborhood Easter egg hunt while Katelyn was still at school. Henry wasn't too happy when I told him he could only have 10 eggs, which explains the look on his face. Grumpy gus!

The kids were sooo excited to decorate eggs, they were very into it and wouldn't even stop to look at the camera. I wanted to go and roll them down a hill because we always used to do that growing up, but Jason ended up using them for deviled eggs. The kids were pretty mad at him, but they all Love deviled eggs so it didn't last too long.

My sister blessed her baby on Easter Sunday down in Las Vegas. We were unable to attend it so we decided to find a few neighbors that were going to be around and we had our own Easter Dinner at our house. It was great to spend time with friends and not be alone. We were sad that we didn't get to make it to little 'Jims' blessing though!

We had a wonderful Ward Easter party and we were supposed to decorate hats beforehand to show off. I wasn't too excited about it, but then we found the girls hats at the dollar store and got the eggs and started glueing. The kids had fun and told me what they wanted on their hats. Henry knew exactly how he wanted his. It was great. He had a little cotton ball tail on the back as well. Katelyns was a bunny, it was adorable. Morgan loved her sparkly hat.

We had some special guests attend the party. They all had special needs and were very sweet. It was really a great experience for the kids to be around them and to interact with them. We got to bring one of the guests around to the different activites. It was a fun activity.
