Easter Parties

Easter week was a busy fun filled week.  Between preschool egg hunts for both boys, a music makers egg hunt, the S&W egg hunt, and decorating sugar cookies & dying eggs with LOTS of friends...we stayed busy.  It was a blast!  Thanks to Meg, she reserved a pavilion at the park, and we all came with eggs, dye kits, cookies, sprinkles,  frosting, etc.  The kids ate and played for hours.

Easter 2011

Easter is such a wonderful time to celebrate.  This year was no exception.  We participated in a ward Easter  Egg activity on Friday that provided not only great company, food, fun, but also a great reminder on the REALLY meaning of Easter.  Saturday we took advantage of the Scott & White employee egg hunt.  Crazy (slightly resembled a battle scene) but fun activites for the kids to participate in.  Sunday we were able to do our own family thing in the morning and then drive down to Austin to enjoy Sunday dinner with my Aunt and Uncle...and get my MOM!   It started her week long trip and week of birthdays and celebrations.

It was fun celebrating but it was also very important that we remembered the real reason behind it all.  It was great to teach the kids, talk about, and watch videos about our Savior.  To remind ourselves how grateful and blessed we are to have a Heavenly Father who loves us and sent his Son.  Happy Easter.

Easter Eggs 2011

The kids were so excited to dye eggs this year.  We took advantage of Spencer taking a nap and decided start the fun.  I thought a dozen would be plenty of eggs, they weren't.  I think the kids could have done more like 3 dozen.  I'm happy to report no spills, and minimal crackage of the eggs while being dyed.  One a different note...both kids woke up and declared they were ready to play soccer.  I was instructed to take them to soccer practice.  Funny, since we didn't enroll in soccer this season.  Maybe we will try it out in the Fall.  Maybe it will be more successful than we did Natali last year (LOTS OF MELT DOWNS & TEARS).

Happy Easter
