Easter!

I had really good intentions this year to do fun Easter activities with the kids. I even had the ideas already filled out in 12 Easter eggs. Well we got to one of them (I was even on Spring Break from school). Bad Mama. Maybe next year.

 

The activity we did get to was a Easter egg picnic hunt with the Kanets. Marian and I gathered all of our finger foods and put them in plastic eggs. Then while the kids were out playing we hid all of the eggs inside. We told each child the color that they were to look for. Jensen searched for all of the blue eggs while Lucy looked for the purple eggs. One of Lucy's got hidden too well but they each found their dozen eggs with their lunch inside.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For Easter weekend we headed out to Logandale to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa Haworth. Grandma did die eggs with Lucy. She loved it! This was one of our activities so I am glad Grandma was on the ball!

 

 

 

The kids helped feed Shelbi's lamb and Lucas' pig while they were visiting their other cousins. Jensen did stay away from the water trough this time. Uncle Si, the pig, was making us laugh as she rolled around in the mud and was very content.

 

 

 

After our chores were done we took the Walker's Rhino for a ride in the sand dunes (Thanks by the way!). We stopped at the Big Papi and had an Easter Egg hunt. Jensen was confused and only thought he could get the blue eggs since that was what he was looking for last time. He really is an obedient kid. Jennifer and Anthony came out to visit so they helped hide and helped the kids find the eggs. We also had a fun time rolling eggs down the hill. Jensen chased after them and also came back up the hill with all of them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Easter morning we were back at our house. The kids woke up to another Easter egg hunt and riddles to find their Easter baskets. Jensen kept putting one egg back because he didn't think there was anything inside. We told him to open it and he got really excited when he found a "umi dollar" in it.

 

 

 

 

Lucy found another "umi dollar".

 

 

Jensen scattered all of his candy while he opened his eggs.

 

 

 

I tried to get the kids to pose for a picture before church real quick. Lucy wanted to play along.

 

 

Jensen was back to his old ways.  

 

 

So after church we took the kids to the temple. This was the best of the best.
