Easter Fun

We did a couple fun things in the week leading up to Easter. The Saturday before (April 16th) we took the boys to an Easter egg hunt courtesy of McCain's. It was cold and windy, but the boys had fun. There was a golden egg hidden in each group and of course that was the first thing our boys raced to find. Trey and Layton found the golden eggs in their groups. After the hunts were done Layton came running over to Z & M's section and told Matt that there was a golden egg hidden by the sprinkler. Matt took Zander over by the sprinkler and Zander found the golden egg. So three of our boys won big Easter baskets....they were so excited! Monday evening we dyed Easter eggs. Quick little story to go with this...I had purchased the egg dye kit earlier that day and ihad it sitting in a bag on the counter waiting to be used. I walked out into the kitchen after feeding Declan to find Zander and McKay with the dye kit opened. Both boys had bright colored mouths. They had eaten the dye tablets!!

Easter Sunday after a great Regional Conference we had Doug & Kathryn over for pineapple glazed ham, funeral potatoes, jello salad, rolls, deviled eggs, and oreo cheesecake dessert. The boys hunted for the 98 eggs that Matt & Doug hid through out the yard and then we finished off the night with a game of Ticket to Ride. It was a great Easter!
