Easter

Our sweet neighbors invited us to their church's Easter celebration on Saturday. We were excited to go along with them. We had a pancake breakfast, then the kids had Easter stories and crafts. After they had 3 eggs hunts divided up by age. Since I stayed with Rebecca during her hunt I got to Ammon's just before he started and found Corrine and Simeon after they were done with theirs.


Sunday-
The kids were very excited to hunt for their Easter baskets this morning. We didn't want to give them too many things so they each had just a few things. The boys had tie tacks and a rubber frisbee (so they don't get som bruises playing disk battles Like Tron). Corrine got a CTR locket and notebook, and Rebecca got a I am a Child of God necklace and a bubble tumbler.

Dad the Egg eyed Zombie

We hid the eggs in the basement before church because the grass was wet. We his 24 small eggs and 1 large "golden" egg. The golden egg was golden because it had 5 pieces of gold Werthers carmel candy's inside. All the other eggs only had 1 piece in each.
We hid 1 of Simeon's eggs too hard and we could never find it!! Lucky kid who finds it now and gets the candy inside!

After church we went to Grandma & Grandpa Smiths for dinner and an egg hunt. This year the hunt was simpler then past years. Each kid had a color or style of egg and they had to find 8 of them. Of course each kiddo got a $1 in on of their eggs. They were hidden harder for Simeon, Corrine, Ammon and Jonas and easier for Ian, Rebecca and Audrey.



Then they got to find their baskets. Rebecca spotted hers right away on a low tree branch. Ammon's green basket was next to a tall weed with more weeds on top of it. Corrine's was in the hosta's and pretty hard to find and Simeon was super excited that his was up in the tree and he had to climb to get it.







The kids had a great time with all the Easter festivities yesterday and today.
