Happy Easter

I took the kids to the egg hunt in our town.  The kids were in the same age group this year which was nice.  It's so chaotic though and the ages are all gathered up within minutes.  There is one Golden Egg hidden and the person who finds it gets a bonus, other than just the candy which was in the rest of the plain eggs.  When they opened the doors, Bennett ran in and Ashley went in but by the time I found her, most of the eggs were already picked up and she didn't have any and was almost in tears.  I helped her alittle hoping to at least find one so that she wouldn't be disappointed and lucky us, we found the Golden Egg - her only egg. 

I made a fun cake for us to enjoy during Holy Week.  It was 2 cake mixes so way too much cake for just us so the bunny got cut in half already on day one and I took some to my moms for them.

This is the first year that they actually somewhat enjoyed coloring the eggs and lasted more than 5 minutes. 

This egg she colored something on the egg and was surprised at how it showed up.  Kinda cute.

The Easter Bunny splurged on Bennett alittle bit this year and gave him a bike.  He needed a bigger bike this summer anyways and I didn't want to spend $20 now and $60 later so instead we spent the $60 now and that was all he got.  He is done with his birthday already for the year so we really had no other occasion to gift him a bike.

Ashley got 3 things from the bunny and loves them all = Frozen! She got a tshirt for the summer, an Anna doll (she already has Elsa) and a Frozen puzzle. 

 Kristen hid some plastic eggs at my moms that afternoon.  The kids had fun, minus the cold and windy weather. 

We had a great Easter.  I had to go to the 6:30am and 9:30am church services to play with the bells choir.  Mike and the kids went to the 9:30 service with me.  Between services when I came home they found the hidden eggs and their baskets.  After church we went to my moms for a terrific Easter dinner and stayed there for most of the day.
