Easter!!

this year for Easter i had all sorts of fun things planned. 

first off, my in laws were here to visit.

so we were pretty excited about that.

of course we decided to dye Easter eggs.

 Briea looks a little skeptical....

 Everyone was working hard on their eggs.

 Everyone doing their different egg colors. 

 Grandma G wanted to try something different.

 We also tried this tie dye machine.

 It looks cool, but not that great. It really just mixes all the colors together.

 Guess who's egg this is?? 

Hmmm... Who loves a handsome man with those initials!!

ME ME ME!!

 here are all our finished eggs. 

so pretty right!!

next was the hunt for the Easter baskets. 

this year i made them work for it.

i took streamers and started at the front door. then i streamed them all through the inside and outside of the  house. they had to follow the streamer to find their baskets. 

Like i said we started at the front door. 

then they went up stairs.

they had to go up one side of their bunk bed and down the other. 

then back down stairs. 

 then around the living room and through the kitchen.

 out through the garage...

 around the cars...

 and some trees...

 back up around the house...

 oppss. we needed some help from grandma!!

 around the back of the house and the satellite.

then back through the back door. 

 then woo hoo!! they found them in a trash can!!

Happy Easter!!!

Later that night we did a night time Easter Egg hunt.

We gave the kids each flash lights and threw the eggs out in the backyard. 

the kids had fun running around looking for eggs in the dark. 

I only got this one picture of Cullan. I was to busy chatting to take to many others. 

This was Sunday morning before church. 

and.....

Grandma, Grandpa, and the KIddos!!!

We were so happy that Garran's parents were able to come and visit. We enjoy their company and the kids love to see them. 

We are also so thankful for this time of year and for the reminder it is of the atonement and resurrection.

that knowledge brings us comfort and peace.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.
