Happy Easter

I love Easter. It is a time of new life and bright colors. It is also a time to remember the Atonement of Jesus Christ, which brings its own new life and bright colors.

Easter always has the funnest crafts. We made a bird's nest, bunnies out of pine cones and a cool hanging egg.
I love decorating eggs! This year I sacrificed and left the decorating to the kids. Even so, we decorated 2 1/2 dozen.


Jalen, who must eat at all times, ate one of the cupcakes with jelly beans while decorating.

He also developed a signature move of taking an egg, cracking it on the table and then dropping it in the dye. He did it with every egg.

I love hard-boiled eggs. I could eat them three times a day.

Easter baskets for Daddy, Baylie and Jalen. (The Easter Bunny never seems to remember me...) The Easter Bunny came to our house while we were in Charleston. We found the baskets and hidden eggs when we got home.

The kids wore new outfits to church. I have adorable children!

We finally got Baylie to say that Easter was about Jesus and not jelly beans. Hopefully amongst all the treats and fun, she will learn that most important message.

good thing you like eggs if you have so many to eat! The Easter bunny seems to forget me a lot too...looks like a great haul though.

What does the Easter bunny have against moms? He leaves me out too! And I would have to agree you really do have adorable kids!

This is the first year the bunny remembered me!!! You are SUCH a fun mom. I'd like to be adopted as well, please.
