many Easter photos

Here are some pictures of our Easter celebrations this year.

Lia always tells me that Easter is her favorite holiday - it's a good one, so more power to her.

Ty labeling eggs for hiding

the kids dyeing some real eggs
good work lia

more dyeing..

apparently these children have not heard of sitting in your chair

maggie got a bit cross by the end of the evening...

Saturday morning we had some friends over for brunch and an egg hunt -

Maggie with her bucket

Maggie and her friend Audrey -

I love that they both totally have the morning hair thing going on :)

we had to hunt for eggs inside due to rain, but the kids didn't seem to mind

cute nathan...thomas in one hand, eggs in the other

excited tyler

i did actually make eggs and fruit...and other somewhat healthy food -

but Easter is all about the treats right???

cupcakes....not as cute as usual, but i was low on time...

Sunday we started out with some Empty Tomb Rolls (Jenn's idea) - to remind us of what we are really celebrating. If you are interested in making these they are super simple - just pop a big marshmallow and a little cinnamon and sugar in side your roll dough and bake. When they are done there's a nice empty center! :) Great breakfast for Easter Sunday

and the kids checked out their baskets/Easter clothes..

and found a few more hiding eggs

...may i just say that few do morning hair quite like my Maggie :)

thanks for the swimsuit g&g

and again with the hair...

Sunday between sessions of Conference I attempted to get a decent picture of the kids in their Easter clothes, but it was not happening - jax especially was in a bit of a mood. These are the best we could come up with ! :)

We had lunch at our friends house on Sunday and they planned a great treasure hunt for the kids along with an awesome meal!

It was a fun weekend - we hope you all had a great Easter celebrations this year too.
