Easter 2011

It was a fun Easter this year. The kids had a fun time taking part in all the activities of the "Easter bunny", but also enjoyed learning the TRUE meaning of Easter and singing their Easter songs over and over again!

On Thursday, we had fun dying eggs

Mark was good with patience, while I was a little crazier, as Lilly has a hard time understanding what "gentle" means!! She figured it out quick though and did a great job.
On Easter morning, the kids woke up excited to see their jelly bean trail left by the Easter bunny. Hayden loved following the trail, and Lilly loved eating it!!

Excited to follow the trail and see where it leads.

YUM! A chocolate bunny! Before Easter, I asked Lilly what she thought she would get in her Easter basket and she told me, a "chocolate bunny". That was the first thing she saw and she immediately opened it and started eating it. :)

Caleb had fun opening his basket too! Sippy cups and teething rings!

Hayden enjoyed playing his kazoo all morning!

After basket opening was our Easter egg hunt. Hayden and Lilly both did pretty well this year :)

For Easter dinner, we had my parents, grandparents from Utah and sister and her family over. Caleb got to meet his Great Grandparents for the 1st time
