Easter Recap

We have had a wonderfully warm April and I've been enjoying every minute of it. Well, not the minutes at night where I'm laying awake because I'm hot...but every other minute. I really tried to do more with Easter this year since it is THE most important day EVER. If you don't know why email or call, we'll chat :)

So a week and a half before we started something that allowed them to earn candy for their Easter baskets. I got the idea here. Some year I'd like to do the tree she suggested, but we stuck with the jars this year. On Friday we made a completely yummy and totally unhealthy snack that I found here. The kids really loved this and seemed to grasp the concept as well.




We also made our own garden and empty tomb.

Of course we colored eggs. I was proud that this year I remembered I had a coloring kit stashed, and I found it, and we used it!

This warm weather has had Vman in heaven. He puffy hearts being outside but he is so fast you really have to watch him!

He also loves our random friendly farm kitties. (this is spike, named by across the street neighbors)

Easter morn included Easter goodies from Grandma and Grandpa and their earned candy of course.

There was an Easter brunch at church, then we stopped home to pick up some thing before heading to Den's mom's for lunch. This was my brief moment to capture a pic of the 3 of them. Not ideal. Still, they were cute. Thanks mom for the boys shirts! They were going to get short changed on Easter outfits this year. But I did make E's dress!

Mom mom's is a fun place to run.

It's even more fun when your cousins are there.

Of course J was running about but couldn't be caught for pics as he and the rest of the boys were busy catching frogs in mom mom's pond as well as playing football and baseball. V refused to nap as there were many other things he'd rather do like take 4wheeler rides with daddy and bulldozer rides with pop pop. I prayed for a warm Easter this year and by golly that prayer was answered!! Thank you Jesus!
