Happy Easter Bunny! BOK BOK!!!

So, Easter has come and gone. This is one of Cole's favorite holidays. (He actually says that about most holidays except for the ones that are my favorites!) But it was so much fun to be able to focus on the Savior for a whole day- especially all linked up with Conference! What a special time. The boys were able to get up that morning, and go for a massive Easter Egg hunt in our living room! The Easter bunny sure was good to us this year. What a hoppy guy!


Searching for the candy- inbetween candy openings!

This is the same thing that happened last year! Lincoln was off FILLING his bucket to the brim, and here's Payton, with 2 eggs in his basket, and the rest empty wrappers from chocolate that he has already consumed! Silly billy!

The LOOT!! Morgs was asleep, but she got some stuff too...the kids were mostly excited about the NEW DISNEY MOVIES that they got! How does the Easter Bunny know how much I LOVE Disney movies! I'll never know! NOTE: Lincoln's basket is OVERFLOWING, and Payton doesn't even have his, because there is nothing in it! Quite the different personalities- those two!


FEASTING! The new orange cream hershey's kisses are to DIE FOR!!!

Then after our hunt, we sat down for a little Family Home Evening. This is our kids FAVORITE thing to do in the entire world! They could have FHE every night (sometimes we do!) and just be in heaven. Usually it's about one of the stories with fighting in them- which isn't hard to find in the scriptures- but today we focused on the life, death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The boys actually sat really well. Lincoln always does, but Payton actually paid attention a little bit for us! It was really nice to remind the boys the real reason why we celebrate Easter. Then we were able to stay in our jammies all day and watch Conference, which is one of my favorite weekends of the year! I LOVE to listen to the prophets and apostles speak to us about things that we need to hear, and BOY did they deliver this time! I can't wait to get the Ensign so that I can really read them! (Kids don't allow for too much intense study when you are listening-if you know what I mean!)




Cole likes to do projects, and so he worked on our 72 hour kits! We're going to be prepared! (that is, if I can get the list together that he so graciously gave me to completely update our kits:))

Hat and ear warmers in Cole's kit...trust me, he's going to be warm, AND good lookin! ;)
All in all, it was a wonderful Easter weekend. I didn't get to make any sort of Easter feast though, because I have been sick with a ruptured ear drum, and cold/flu junkiness- but next year! Next year! Happy Easter!
