Easter Fun

Saturday we took Liam to a local grocery store to see the Easter Bunny.  I was so busy getting him to sit on the Bunny's lap that I didn't take a picture of my own.  Hopefully theirs will be good and I can scan it.  I tried to get him to sit on the bunny's lap again, but the best I could get was high fives and knuckles.  Then they gave him lots of candy and he was in sugar heaven. 

Saturday night we made some sugar cookies.  We attempted to put some of them on sticks to give to our cousins on Sunday.  The bigger ones didn't stay on their sticks very well...I guess we needed to secure them better.  The kids liked them anyway so that was good. 

WE opted not to dye eggs this year because the twins didn't really want to and Liam is too young to care and old enough he'd make a huge mess.  None of us missed it so that's good. 

I had the kids help me do the plastic egg hunt Sunday morning.  We split the eggs in half and Emily hid half for Jason and Liam to find and then Jason hid the rest for Em and Liam to find.  It was fun watching Liam find the eggs.  Then he threw one and it opened to spill all the candy out and all he wanted was to eat the candy so he was done looking for eggs.  The funny part was that Emily practically told Jason where the eggs were with her hints. While Jason didn't give Em much help at all. This is Liam signing "candy" to let us know that he wants more. 

It was a great Easter.  All week we read in the scriptures about what happened on that day the last week of the Savior's Life.  I am immensely grateful for His atonement and resurrection and that we can celebrate it each Easter.  It is wonderful to have the knowledge that we can repent and be resurrected and live with our Heavenly Father again someday.
