Easter Egg Hunts

Friday afternoon the kids and I dyed eggs.
And after the eggs were dry, the kids
took turns hiding the eggs around the
house and having their own hunt. afterwards I found egg shells all over
the house and lots of left-over cracked eggs.
hhmm, maybe letting them run wild
with all those REAL eggs wasn't such a good idea.
Saturday morning we bundled up & headed out
in the FREEZING COLD to join
the hundreds of other crazy people in on the city egg hunt.
Which pretty much is a 1 minute egg grab.
*Note to self...don't waste our time
next year on this one!
(we were all in agreement on this future decision)
Easter morning the kids were all smiles
to find some fun surprises left by the
Easter Bunny.


After stuffing themselves to the max with candy
and then enjoying some breakfast burritos,
the kids gathered around (with their jelly beans)
to play Conference B-I-N-G-O,
as we all listened together and learned.
I thought it was wonderful
to have Conference on Easter weekend.
I was impressed at how much my kids
kept reminding me why we really celebrate
Easter and who we should be thinking of...
Jesus Christ,
our Savior and Redeemer.
I am soo grateful for their simple reminders
and how they help me re-focus my
own thoughts.
I can't really seem to express
the gratitude I feel for my Savior.
His life, his love and his sacrifice are
truly beyond words.
How am I soo deserving?
I just know I still have soo much
to learn, to change, and to do, but
I am appreciative of the words shared
in conference, that make me want to
be better, do more and try harder to
be more like my Savior!
******************
After a morning at home, we headed
to Provo to spend the rest of the day
with QUinn's family.
We ate, had yet another hunt
(this one was by far the best)
and just enjoyed our time with loved ones!
I love to give my kids flip flops for Easter,
but of course this year the weather
was not IDEAL for that kind of foot wear.
The kids still insisted they wear them anyway!
(yes that is snow on the ground)

All the cousins showing their loot!

Ash ate sooo much candy!!!
Every time I turned around he was stuffing his
face yet again with candy. No matter how many times
I said NO MORE or put it out of reach,
he always found more!
I can't believe he never puked
(only his brother did).
At the end of our day,
we were each filled...
in more ways than one!
