A few more Easter treats........

 Jeff n Wills at the Easter Egg hunt
 Jeffy and his Batman and Spiderman Eggs Daddy made him
 Jeffy in his Bunny hat (my sister is a 2nd grade teacher...she comes up with the most amazing things!)
 Dying eggs...Notice Will SCREAMING in the background

 With her FIRST full bucket.......it was a grandiose Egg hunt put on by Nana!  Thanks MOM!
 Caitlyn helping Wills at the egg hunt!!!
 At the beginning of their "Bunny Trail"  ...........at our house the Easter bunny hides their baskets and leaves behind a trail made of peeps.  I'm not sure how this tradition started....but any excuse to BUY MORE PEEPS is fine with me! 

 He looks little...but he knew there was chocolate in those eggs 
and he caught on REAL FAST!  haha!
This is Will.... sitting on a "pot" reading to himself
 ...........I'm STILL LAUGHING! 
(notice the book is upsidedown.  hahaha)
 Oh he is so cute...I could just gobble him up!


 It was A lovely RELAXING Easter.  We really tried to get the message across to the kids that it was about The SAVIOR and not the candy.  We even tried acting out the story.  They enjoyed making me be the donkey for Jesus to ride into the city on...and they really enjoyed giving out bread ad water and washing each others feet (with a dishcloth)......But I realized my error when Jeffy put out his hands for us to show where the nails went and he started to cry.  Ok.... to graphic maybe.   But we hoped they learned something........Sure enough when we were reading the scriptures last night and it was Jeffy's turn this is what he "read"  "and it came to pass...that Jesus died on the cross...and then Nephi died....and Jesus died on the cross."   (we were reading first Nephi)  Well...at least he remembered something =). 

Now if my Tulips would just bloom already!  Darn Utah freezing cold weather!
