We did the usual Easter things over the weekend. That included a family home evening about the resurrection, coloring eggs, going to church, an egg hunt, dinner with family, Easter baskets, and the smashing of confetti filled eggs. Here are our celebrations in pictures:
Simon was adamant about getting the orange coloring because, "That's my favorite color!"
Jillian woke up with a huge smile on her face because, "The bunny brought me treats!"
Lauren was so excited to get a new Lego Friends set. She decided she needed her own bucket to start keeping her Legos in and separate from the boys' collection.
Ethan wasn't feeling so great so he was just wanting to go back to sleep...after he put his Legos together.
Jillian was really into the egg hunt and confetti this year. She wanted to crack most of her eggs on her own head.
Simon would say, "Found one!" every time he picked up an egg. Uncle Matt also smashed a confetti egg in his pants, thus the picture of him trying to shake out the confetti.
Lauren was in the middle of it all as well. Our neighbors are Buddhist and their little boy came over to participate in the egg smash. Lauren made sure he got lots of eggs cracked on his head. He told Mandy something along the lines of, "That was the most fun I have ever had!" So cute.
Ethan was really feeling bad at this point. Allen took him to urgent care and we found out he had strep throat...he was so sad that he didn't get to participate. But the other kids were kind enough to share their eggs.
And Aaron, well, he slept through it all!
Happy Easter!
