easter

Does anyone still want to see pictures of our Easter 3 weeks later? You? Oh, and you too?

OK, I am sure just grandma's and 510Jen, but here you go anyways.

The first attempted shot of all FIVE kiddos.  Boy oh boy, if you could only have seen what Eric was doing behind me- we needed him on video for sure.  Pretty decent pic considering it was a quick after church thing and you know how kids are after 3 hours of sitting.


Easter was pretty mellow for us this year.  Besides a few egg hunts, dying eggs, and WAY too much candy, we hung out together.   I can't forget me slaving away in the kitchen on Easter Sunday preparing a yummy dinner . . . for what?  Oh, for me (and Eric).  The kids would have been happy with grilled cheese and tomato soup or cold cereal.  Why do I do that to myself?  

The girls favorite surprise in their basket were sunglasses.  Anna would NOT take them off.  The boys loved their "see an insect grow" sponges.  The capsules you put in water and watch them grow into something.  Gotta love Target dollar spot.

Well, the BEST thing I believe were the HUGE, GIGANTIC, lollipops- as if they needed more candy.  Let's make it clear that after an afternoon outside of sucking (or biting in Anna's case), they were thrown in the trash.  Yep, I am a meanie.  Just couldn't stand watching them eat all of that gross, colored, sugar.  It was definitely fun while it lasted.  

Check out the picture of ALL four kids- can you guess?? 

"One of these things is NOT like the others!"

{sorry for those with small computer screens- can't see the full pic}

Little Anna- what to do with you.  If you weren't so darn cute there would be major issues.  

However, we didn't forget about the most important- remembering the true meaning of Easter.  We had a few FHE's on the Ressurection and Atonement and hopefully the kids "got it" and don't think Easter is all about the fun and eating candy until their sick.  Until next year . . .
