Saturday morning the Easter Bunny came... The kids found their baskets and then went on an egg hunt!
Jaxon got some new cars, Maelie got a lamb, and Kyla got a puppy with bunny ears... they all got some little toys and candy filled eggs, they were loving it! I could tell Maelie was a little dissapointed that she didn't get a new basket this year. The expectations were up because she got a new one last year. She is old enough that she remembers exactly what happens each year. She also knew to search for her chocolate bunny. But she didn't complain about the lack of a new basket but just decorated her old one. She is such a crafty thing, don't know where in the world she got that, I guess it skipped a generation. :)
After both sessions of conference (conference was wonderful, it seemed there were a lot of talks on parenting and families), we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's for egg dyeing and an egg hunt! Jaxon actually got into it and just kept throwing his eggs into the dye, he usually had about 3 eggs in each cup. Kyla really enjoyed it and was the last one at the table, putting stickers on her eggs.
The kids had fun playing with their cousins! Maelie made a cute belt out of the Easter egg stands. Notice Jaxon's blue face and hands in the swing. The kids loved their bubbles from Grandma and Grandpa!
Sunday morning we did the Easter Egg hunt with the numbers that had items inside with the story of Easter from the Bible. It's great to remember the real reason for Easter and the kids really enjoyed it, too. I am thankful for my Savior and all He has done for my family and I. I know that we can be with those we love after we die thanks to our Savior, Jesus Christ. HAPPY EASTER!!!
Just some recent fun pix of the kiddos... Kyla has been doing pretty good on her bike and now Maelie and Kyla can ride together. We love playing "bean bag" on Sunday afternoons... which mostly involves a lot of tackling, chasing, jumping, pillow fighting, and diving... the pic of Kyla on top of the bean bag on top of Jonas cracks me up!! Cutie Jaxon loves wearing his fireman hat. He is so fun in the car, always yelling out "I see a truck! I see a bus! I see a bike! I see a tractor!"
Kyla's friend Rebekah came to play recently, they are in Sunbeams together. Her little brother Bryce stayed too, Jaxon and Bryce are in nursery together. The kids had fun! Jaxon and Bryce had a few fights over the trucks, but all in all did pretty good! Maelie also had her friend Railie from her primary class come over after school to play.
