Easter 2009


Color Time


Still coloring.....patience


She loved doing this, a whole dozen all to herself!!





We did things a bit different this year for Easter. I decided that we needed to focus more on our Savior and less on the bunny so we decided to have the bunny come on Friday night so they could search for their baskets on Saturday instead of Sunday.


The finished product!

The kids were out of school on Friday so we colored the eggs that day and then they were ready for the bunny guy to hide. Shannon was babysitting but didn't really want to color any eggs anyway so that's why she isn't in the pics. It worked out SOOOO much better to do those things on Saturday. I heard today in institute that another family does it on Monday so that they can score on the half price Easter candy. ....not a bad idea. Anyway, so Sunday we could focus on Our Savior. Michelle gave a talk on how music can bring us closer to the Savior. It was her first talk in sacrament meeting and she did great!!

Brad the ham!

No we didn't eat HIM for dinner :)

Actually, he got some new dress pants but wanted to wear his suit for Easter Sunday so I'll have to post a picture of his new pants later.

We always do it on Saturday as well. We color eggs Friday when the kids are out of school. It makes a big difference. I use to get away with Monday until my kids were old enough to know better. I only have 1 kid left then I think we might go back to the Monday thing. No hyped up kids for church. We also talked in church Sunday. I heard Michelle did a great job.

Michelle gave a GREAT talk on Sunday. I cannot believe how grown up and mature and poised that little lady is! Nice joy Michelle!
