Easter Festivities

On Friday we went to an Easter Play group at the church. They made these bunnies.
Then the kids went on an easter egg hunt. (As you can see, it was hard to find the eggs.)
The girls enjoyed their candy and a snack.
On Saturday we dyed easter eggs.
Here is Alyssa with the finished eggs.
On Easter morning the girls were excited to wake up and see all the prizes that the easter bunny left for them.
They hunted for easter eggs that were left all over the house. We had to convince Alyssa to leave some for Ashley since Ashley insisted on opening up every egg and tasting the candy before moving on to another egg.
Here is Alyssa with one of the two baskets that she filled up with eggs.
We enjoyed a breakfast of cinnamon rolls and eggs as we discussed the reason we celebrate Easter. We loved listening to General Conference. Alyssa even sat with us off and on for three of the sessions. For dinner, I roasted a whole chicken for the first time ever. Overall it was a very nice Easter weekend.

Love pic #3! We had some faces like that on Easter, so I had to hide the candy and ration it. My kids never get sick of sugar!
