Happy Easter!

I love Easter…I love everything about it. The true meaning of Easter is so amazing and I feel like I have so much to teach my children about Easter and every year that I do they begin to learn and understand more and more. The night before Easter we sat and talked about what Easter was really about and I was overwhelmed with love at how much my kids already knew. When they stayed with my Mom this week she gave them a Family Home Evening lesson on Easter and she taught them so much. I loved to sit down with them and hear what they knew about Easter. I love that there are so many traditions with Easter that my parents instilled in me when I was young. They are fun things that are not stressful, just short and fun! My kids had a fun Easter morning….Jaxon was in shock at that basket full of goodies, he was so fun to watch, so much excitement, every time he grabbed something out of his basket he would run with it because he thought he just took something he should not have, it was so funny! The kids got some cute summer clothes in their baskets in hopes for some warmer weather, looking outside today I don’t think the idea worked, but we can keep hoping. I hope you all had a Happy Easter!!!

Easter Egg Hunt

I wasn’t feeling very well Saturday and I was suppose to be down as much as possible, so Josh was going to take the kids to the Easter egg hunt and I was going to stay home. Well this really bothered me because I wanted to go but I just didn’t want to go and fight the huge crowd of people that is usually there. So I said to Josh why don’t we make our own and Josh was so nice he agreed and my family agreed so Josh ran to town and bought a bunch of eggs and Easter toys and filled them and we had our own hunt. My Mom filled some eggs to and in twelve of the eggs she put a dollar bill and the kids thought they won a million bucks!!! We have plenty of kids to make our own hunt and it was so nice because we didn’t have to battle all the people at the one we usually go to. The kids love to spend time with their cousins so it worked out perfect. Josh was so nice to help me put it together so I didn’t have to do anything. We all agreed that we will do this every year because it was perfect for the kids!! The weather was beautiful, I was so thankful for some sunshine I really needed some and so did the kids.

Jaxon started crying I think he didn’t like the sun in his eyes, he isn’t use to the sun because we very rarely get to see the sun!!

Every chance this little guy had he would sit down and check out what was in his basket and then he would try to open a piece of candy…he is so smart.

Look at that messy face…..he loved that chocolate!!!
