Easter

Easter this year was just us and my parents.  In the past one or two of my sisters and their families joined us, but not this year.  So we colored eggs on Saturday evening at our house instead of Grandma and Grandpa's house.  Prior to coloring eggs the Easter Bunny came to visit the boys.  One of our neighbors dresses up as the Easter Bunny each year and stops by to give the boys a bag of jelly beans.  The boys enjoy it even though I think said neighbor is crazy.  The boys were super excited to color eggs and each got to color a few eggs.  That night I went over to hide eggs at Grandma and Poppa's house so it would be ready for after church.  On Sunday morning the boys got up and Wes and Jon got clothes for Easter.  Nate didn't get any clothes because he has more than enough already.  Then we went to church.  The boys really enjoyed learning about Easter.  Wesley came home telling us how he learned that Jesus loves us and is alive again.  I really felt like he felt the meaning of Easter.  We changed and headed to Grandma and Poppa's house.  The boys went straight downstairs and found their eggs.  They both got a lot of candy and a few dollars.  We then had Easter dinner consisting of turkey and mashed potatoes.  Instead of Kyle's choice of ham and funeral potatoes.  I am not a fan of ham.  It was a fun day with the boys.
