Here Comes Peter Cottontail...


The kids got to go to a few different Easter Egg Hunts this year. The first was put on by the city last weekend. We got there a little late, so Caelan had to join the "9 years and older" hunt and get eggs for all the kids to share. The Easter Bunny came to our house on Saturday instead of Sunday. Later that day we went to an Easter Egg Hunt at the preschool right around the corner from us. It was actually really fun: lots and lots of eggs to hunt (they let Megan go into the younger hunt and she was a mad woman collecting every egg she saw. Nathan, on the other hand was picky about which eggs he wanted to pick up - he liked the ball shaped eggs), making paper baskets, dying real boiled eggs, making bunny puppets, raffle for big, fancy baskets, bubbles, fun in the sandbox (actually it was cornmeal - GENUIS...this was Nathan's favorite part), snacks and treats, etc. The kids had a blast and it was a free activity right by us. We'll definitely be making that a yearly tradition. We spent Easter Sunday going to church, enjoying the day together as a family, doing another couple of egg hunts (with our real eggs that we dyed on Friday), watching a few Mormon messages on the real meaning of the day and eating a yummy Easter dinner (ham, green beans, homemade rolls and fresh pineapple). It was a nice day together.
