Easter Weekend Activities

We had a fun Easter holiday weekend. Al had Friday off and took a vacation day today so we've had a super fun, relaxing weekend as a family. We've had:

Two Egg Hunts: One with our playgroup (my batteries were dead so Erin emailed me this pic of Makenna)

One with the community:

Decorated Eggs: (once again Makenna has an extremely interesting outfit choice - I just don't fight these things any more)

Made a cute Easter craft at the Primary activity: (this is a hostess snowball as the tomb and a Nilla wafer as the rock covering the doorway of the tomb)



Opened Easter Baskets:

Had a yummy Easter Dinner (I will share some recipes later this week): It wasn't as pretty as I imagined but it was SO good!

Had a nice spiritual Easter FHE: No pictures but find the lesson Here

(PS, I know all of these pics need to be edited but I just didn't have the energy tonight!!)

Tis the Season...

For:

1. Jelly Bellies - Al loves Jelly Bellies so I bought him this 4 lb. jar at Costco a few weeks ago. Every night after dinner (if the kids eat well) we let them eat a few JB's. Al loves the butter popcorn flavor the best (gross). They love trying to figure out what flavor their bean is.

2. The wearing of the green! This is the kids after Carter's preschool St. Patty's party last week. His fabulous teacher had the cutest party. The kids made some crafts and then she had a leprechaun hunt. They followed a trail of gold coins, candy and shamrocks made by the leprechaun and baited him with Lucky Charms. They love, love, loved it. I am totally going to steal the idea and do my own hunt next year.
