And the other side of Easter

Sean and I were leaving early Easter morning to drive down to San Diego to catch our boat, so I told the kids that I would make a special request for the Easter Bunny to come by our house on Saturday. He gladly complied. We colored our eggs on Friday night and decorated them with glitter pens (which never really dried) and paint. They were quite the site! Saturday morning the kids woke to find their individual Easter baskets on the kitchen counter. They were filled with the usual: jelly beans, peanut M&M's, chocolate eggs and of course, a chocolate bunny. They even had these little Veggie Tale gummy candies (which were really cute to look at but look pretty questionable to actually put in your mouth, which is probably why they are all still intact almost two weeks later...HE HE HE). Then we had an Egg hunt in the backyard: first I hid the eggs, and then the kids wanted to have a turn hiding them while the grown-ups looked for them. I love that part because they get so excited when they see that we are close to an egg that they almost just point them out each time. What a hoot. Then we spent the rest of the day watching General Conference and enjoying the day together.


We were happy to realize that we hadn't taken these pictures off our camera before we left on our cruise, so occasionally during the week while we were away we would pick up the camera and get our "kid fix."
