Easter

Easter this year was really fun.  We got to attend a ward Easter brunch and egg hunt on Saturday morning.  It ended being really good.  The Easter Egg Hunt was split into little kids (7 & younger) and older kids (8-12).  The little kid side mostly had candy and eggs thrown on the ground so they were easy for the kids to find.  However Kyle noticed a large chocolate bunny that was hidden up higher more in Kyle's reach than any small kid.  So Kyle lifted Jon up so he could get it.  Later we noticed a couple of young women girls looking where the bunny had been hidden.  They must have thought that no little kid would be able to reach that high so they would be able to come and get the bunny later.  It was kind of funny.  We took Wes & Jon to the movies on Saturday as a treat.  They really enjoyed going to see "The Croods" and quote it often.  After the movie we went to my parents to color easter eggs and have dinner with them and my sister Caitlin and her husband and daughter.  The boys had fun coloring Easter eggs, Nate especially.  Nate stuck his hand in the coloring and turned his egg.  By the time all the eggs were colored, so was Nate.  Nate had dyed his hands a beautiful shade of green that is remaniscent of the Hulk.  Jonny was jealous that Nate had Hulk hands so he dyed his hands a lighter shade of green.  We quickly made up Easter baskets before we went home so the boys' baskets were at Poppa & Nana's house.  It was fast Sunday at church so we felt it would be better to just have the baskets after church.  We did have some Easter outfits and movies at our house the next morning so they would have something from the Easter Bunny in the morning.  The next morning I went to get the boys ready for church and discovered that the pants that came with their suits were too big.  All of the boys' pants had to be resized so they did not fall off their bums.  Wesley however wanted to know "why the Easter Bunny did not know his size."  After church we went to my parents house and had a family Easter Egg Hunt with Catie Bell (Caitlin's daughter).  Nate was really excited to pick up the eggs and would point at the eggs to get us to go the right direction.  All of the boys seemed to have a lot of fun finding the eggs.  We had a turkey dinner for Easter dinner.  Kyle does not approve of this tradition in my family.  He feels we should have ham.  It was a great day and really fun to celebrate with Caitlin, Scott, Catie Bell, Jenn, and my parents.
