Happy Easter!

(Don't you just love his face in this one? Ha ha!)

Easter is so much fun with little kids! This year the twins had a lot of fun searching for eggs, dying eggs, and learning about Easter.

We took them to two community egg hunts. The first hunt was very well organized and fun for the kiddos. The twins would pick up an egg and try and open it and play with it--they didn't exactly understand the concept of gathering the eggs and looking at the treats later. They eventually caught on and had a fun time. When we saw a giant "Easter Bunny," Cameron became scared and kept saying "Home," Dallin wanted to go and meet him. It is so funny how differently they react to things.


The second egg hunt was HORRIBLE! This just shows how corny some people can be. They divided a park into sections and our kids were with the 0-2 age group. They had hidden several "prize eggs" and were giving away some really good prizes like a bicycle and other things. When the buzzer rang to begin the egg hunt, several ADULTS dashed into the melee and grabbed up all of the prize eggs. Then as Cameron and Dallin began walking to pick up eggs, other adults started scooping up candy into their kids baskets. One man saw Dallin with his three eggs and handed him one of the fifty eggs he had gathered for his tiny granddaughter who hadn't done a thing. Let me tell you how annoyed this makes me. This event was for the kids, not for parents to win prizes and gorge themselves on candy. It IS a good think that our kids didn't really care about what went on and really the don't need a ton a candy. But hmph.


The Easter Bunny visited our home and left a few small things for the boys. They enjoy their tiny soccer balls, peeping chicks, and magna doodles. They enjoyed finding eggs around our house and I love that they are young enough to appreciate eggs filled with raisins and cheerios as well as eggs filled with chocolate and jelly beans.

It was my turn to teach primary sharing time on Sunday. It was so special for me to be able to teach about the resurrection of Jesus Christ on that beautiful morning so many years ago. They always say that when you teach a lesson you are the person the gains the most knowledge and understanding. It was so good for me to be thinking of what Jesus did for us all day on Easter. Sometimes it is easy to remember the worldly views of holid
