Easter
The weekend before Easter, we went down to school where the Lady Lions hosted an Easter carnival for the kids. It was lots of fun for them from decorating cookies to painting Easter sun catchers to pictures with the Easter Bunny himself. Then on Monday, we colored eggs for family home evening. Jessa is not quite 3 so this is all still kinda new for her and she is loving it. We colored 1 dozen eggs that night and 2 of them didn't even make it into the fridge. The kids both ate one immediately. The next day, Will had a hard boiled egg for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. After that he admitted to being "sick of them". :) Then on Friday, my brother's little girl came up to spend the holiday weekend with us. The bunny came on Saturday and left some goodies and some shovel and bucket toys. When it was time to bring everything inside, we discovered that the sun had melted the girls chocolate bunnies right in the packages so we did an emergency bunny operation and stuck 'em in the freezer over night. They still tasted good, but they looked pretty sad. Sunday, we had regional conference at church for 2 hours. The kids looked very cute all dressed up in the Easter duds. I kept busy that afternoon mixing up some scratch mint chocolate brownies to take to the family Easter dinner at Jeff's parents that evening. (They turned out REALLY yummy!) The kids played with cousins all afternoon and evening and dinner was delicious as always. After dinner, Grandma Gene and Tracy set up an egg hunt out in the yard. It was a very nice Easter.
