Easter 2013

We went to the wards Annual Easter egg hunt on Saturday morning and the kids had a ball.  I had invited a family with 2 young kids (one boy about Boston's age and a 11 month old baby) that we have become park buddies with to come to the Easter egg hunt with us.  They showed up and were exposed to some of the SD's best peeps around.  Their kids had a blast, and they ended up asking a lot of questions about our religion which was kinda a cool.  Boston and Adelyn were able to get way more candy eggs than they needed, but left with beaming smiles on their face which is a mothers wish.  We went swimming at our pool after the egg hunt and then that night we set out our Easter baskets the kids had picked out.  Adelyn decided the Easter bunny needed a note like Santa Clause so she wrote him this very sweet letter. The letter said:
"Dear Easter Bunny,
Here are some Easter eggs we made for you. I like the Easter eggs with flowers and hearts and stripes.  Happy Easter."
She sounded out the words and wrote her letter all by herself.  She is learning so much in school. She then drew a picture of the Easter bunny. She has such a giving, creative heart.  Easter morning the kids awoke to candy all over the floor, full Easter baskets, and of course church clothes.  But I forgot to take a picture of the kids in their church clothes.  We then had the Jenkins and the Gatewood families over for Sunday dinner.  It was a wonderful Easter.  So grateful for my Savior and for what Easter really means.  Blessed!
