We had a nice Easter. The kids got new Sunday clothes, including shoes. We let them wear them the week before Easter, since we didn't go to church on Easter this year because of General Conference.
The girls got to dye Easter Eggs, while Tyler took a nap. We didn't think he was old enough to attempt doing his own eggs yet. Although, he loved the pretty, colorful eggs when they were all done(probably because he thought they were full of candy).
The kids got to hunt for eggs three times this year. The first time was with Lehi City. It was kind of a flop though and we almost missed it altogether. They basically had a rectangle roped off for each of the age groups (0-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12) and inside of the rectangle, the eggs were just all over the ground. The girls made it to their section just as the whistle was blown for the kids to start grabbing eggs. We didn't manage to get Tyler to his section on time so he didn't get any. The girls were nice enough to share a few of their eggs with him.
They got to also hunt for the eggs that the Easter Bunny left on Easter morning all around the house. Tyler was able to collect eggs this time.
The final hunt was at Gawbie and Grandpa's later that day. It took a little bit of coaching from Danny, but Tyler eventually grabbed his share of eggs. The girls had no problem finding their share of eggs.
After hunting for eggs, Gawbie read these little activity/story books with the kids about Jesus Christ and the reason we celebrate Easter.
We also enjoyed a delicious dinner, celebrated Gawbie's birthday, and enjoyed watching Conference together. I love this time of year.
