Here Comes Peter Cottentail!

We had a great Easter! On Saturday, we went to Jerome to Grandma and Grandpa's ward breakfast and egg hunt. It was cold but the kids loved eating pancakes, doing a cupcake walk, where each of them won, and finally ending the morning with a Easter Egg Hunt! Malia sure loved picking up the eggs and most of all eating the surprises inside. Bailee and Braden also loved finding the eggs and got quite the collection. They even shared the loot with Mom and Dad. (we have sweet kids) Later that evening we invited our nieghbors over to color eggs and had so much fun. Between the eight kids around my tiny kitchen table we had only two spilled cups of dye, not bad! They loved coloring eggs and couldn't wait for their next egg. Even Malia had fun with her egg. She colored on it with crayon and then decided it was better to smash the egg instead of making it pretty. Here is Bailee helping our neighbor Penny with her egg.
Sunday morning was fun too. The Easter bunny came and left goodies for everyone and hid the kids baskets throughout the house. The crazy bunny hid Bailee's basket in the dryer. Silly old rabbit! Braden's was hid in the game closet. Then it was a quest to find those easter eggs from last night. Easter is fun but we will never forget why we celebrate Easter and we tried hard to let our kids know the real reason. I think they get it. Here is our cute little family all dressed up.
