Easter Fun

Well, the Easter Bunny found us this year, and left a trail of eggs to some really cool stuff:

My cute bed-head kids, loading up on candy Easter morning:

Time for church!  Of course we know the real reason we celebrate Easter is to celebrate the Resurrection and the Atonement of our Savior.  What a great opportunity to attend church, partake of the sacrament, and enjoy a wonderful Easter program!  Here is Lucy, sporting her new Easter dress, just before church:

I wish I could take pictures of my kids every Sunday before church . . . they look so adorable!  And it only lasts about 5 minutes!  I let them get some of that excess energy out on the swing set so that church would be a little more peaceful . . . I wish I could say it worked!

We had a wonderful "farewell breakfast" for Kenny's parents, and of course I forgot my camera.  All of his family was there except for Tony and his family.  It was great to see everyone and spend some time together.  Grandma and Grandpa Black will spend the next 6 months in Palmyra, New York, serving a Temple mission.  We are excited for them, but will miss them terribly!  Good thing we are planning a family vacation out there in July!  Yay!!!

After church we headed over to Grandma Grover's house for more festivities.  She had hidden an Easter Surprise for each of the Grandkids, and they had a great time finding them:    

Lucy found hers under Grandma's new window seat!

And Stetson found his in the wood box!

 After that we decorated plastic Easter eggs with foam stickers . . . something new we tried this year, and it turned out to be a lot of fun for the kids.  Then the big kids hid the eggs, and the little kids found them.  It didn't take Lucy long to figure out what she was supposed to do, and she was gathering eggs as fast as she could!

"One for me!"

Just looking for more eggs

Stetson found one in the tree!

"Check this out, mom!"

All the kids after the big Easter egg hunt.

 Thanks guys!  It turned out to be a very fun Easter!
