Easter Weekend!

{April 21st}
We were SO excited to have the WHOLE family together for Easter weekend! We did a BBQ at Jake and Kara's house and the kids had fun playing different games and then we made s'mores for dessert.

{April 23rd}
Kelli and Lance's neighborhood did a little Easter egg hunt up at their church so we all were lucky enough to go. Conner wanted to wear his batting gloves (funny boy!)
Later that afternoon we decorated eggs. Binny had a fun kit that we used where you put the egg in a bag and just rub different colors on the eggs. Way easier and cleaner :)
(Carson likes to show everyone that he can touch his nose with his tongue, ha ha)

Then we had ANOTHER egg hunt and Grammie even put money in some of the eggs. The kids were so sweet at the end and made it so everyone had an even amount of money :) Lizzy had way more than the other kids and she was so sweet to share so willingly.

EASTER DAY!
Carson woke up before Conner (surprise, surprise)...so he was very anxious to find his Easter basket. When Conner woke up they found them pretty quick. Then I had set up a scavenger hunt for them to find at the end a clue that we were going to DiSnEyLaNd!
They didn't quite get what was going on but after we got their little bags packed they were very excited and we left later that day...it was a FUN way to celebrate Easter!
I was sad we didn't get to go to church and celebrate the real reason for Easter but I do just want to say that I am more than thankful and feel so blessed for our Savior and all that He did for us. I know He lives and loves us so much and wants us all to return to Him one day. I am grateful for His loving sacrifice for all of us!
