Easter

I'm so glad the Easter bunny hates the cold and is willing to hide the eggs in the basement in the case of inclement weather. The kids were up and ready to go hunting bright and early. One of the times 1:00 church is a good thing 'cause they got to find the eggs and presents the easter bunny left them before church instead of after.

Patiently waiting.

Let the hunting begin...

Vanessa still didn't know what to think or do

until she found her present and what was in the eggs

Andrew and Ally got full buckets of eggs

Vanessa really enjoyed the candy

So much so she started stealing from Andrew.

Then it was time to get ready for church. I kept with tradition again this year and got the girls and myself new dresses for Easter. I tried to get Andrew a new tie but I unfortunately got one that was too big. He was disappointed but I promised to make it up to him and get him a new one but didn't have time to get it before church that day.

After church (before we left for Grandma Davis') the kids got goofy with their buckets.

Then it was off to Grandpa and Grandma's for another egg hunt

This time Vanessa understood the process a little better

Then we did some pictures

We had dinner and some yummy ice cream which was Vanessa's favorite.

Grandma's dog Cooper also loves ice cream so Uncle Jac worked to keep the dog from stealing V's ice cream.

It was a great Easter this year! I love Easter and remembering the Savior and his Atonement. I am so grateful for His sacrifice so I can repent of all my short-comings so Jim, me and our kids can live together forever!
