Happy Easter

 

 Oh ya and we got a Puppy.  The kids are in Heaven.  Not for Easter but a week before.

Easter 2014

 Here are our Easter pictures.  This year we broke tradition and rather than having Easter dinner at home we went to my sisters.  It was fun to share Easter with family and were grateful for the invite.  I made the girls their dresses.  I didn't make my son a tie this year because I am lucky to get him to wear one at all.  The tie he wearing is one that came with the shirt that he picked because for some reason he feels that Easter means a green shirt.  I think they looked really cute in their Easter clothes.

 We went to our annual neighborhood Easter egg hunt.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Easter 2013

 We had a busy Easter weekend.  Something about a little boys birthday and Easter all in the same weekend.  On Saturday our sons birthday we started the day by going to the Neighborhood Easter egg hunt.

Sunday Morning they woke up and saw this on the table before breakfast.  The small red baskets are for my husband and I.  The movie and peeps are for everyone.  I don't know why I buy peeps other than it seems wrong to not have them at Easter (sentimental tradition).  We didn't put names on the baskets since we figured the toys and color of baskets would give it away.  Sure enough our son knew right away that Fireman Sam belonged to him.  Our oldest asked which one belonged to her and since the baby food didn't give it away at least she knew that Hello Kitty was going to be for her.  They both insisted on taken Fireman Sam and Hello Kitty with them to church.

After church we had our traditional Easter photo shoot.  Our kids wanted us to match them as well.  My husband willing wore a matching bow tie with our son and has even said he might wear it again because he kind of liked how he looked.  I was done sewing and so bought a matching outfit for me.  I wanted something new anyways.  The girls skirts matched and I made those along with the bow ties.

 After lunch Our Princess felt that she needed another egg hunt.  Well I was not doing more candy for we took a page out of a friends book and put kid dates in the eggs and a dollar each.  They are so excited to use their dates with mommy or daddy.  After they found their eggs we came in and opened Resurrection eggs that I made in Relief Society a few years ago.  There are 12 eggs and each egg tells a part of the story of Christs Atonement and Resurrection.  It was a wonderful day and we enjoyed the time together as a family.

Easter 2012

Easter was simple this year.  Mostly out of necessity since I have not been feeling great through this pregnancy.  I liked having it simple as well.  I think even the kids liked it being less crazy although my daughter felt that there needed to be more than one Easter Egg hunt and so when we got home from the neighborhood hunt she decided to hide her eggs and then her and her brother looked for them.   I feel so blessed to have my children and grateful for this new child about to be born into our family.  Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Happy Easter 2011

We had a wonderful Easter. We hope that you as well had a wonderful Easter. We are so grateful to a Savior who suffered bled and died that we might be able to repent and someday return home to a loving father in heaven. We are grateful to have the knowledge that because of Christ we can be together forever. I had taken so many pictures and edited them only to have to many to narrow down so you get a lot. Hope you enjoy!
The problem of not having someone behind the camera is that the kids don't know when to smile. Next time maybe my husband and I should have straight faces and them we can have an old fashioned photograph. I still love the looks on their faces though.

Beautiful girl!

Pictures with daddy my daughter was happy to do so my son was done since I started with him and we were outside. He just wanted to play.

Handsome boy!
