Easter Fun!

We started the Easter weekend off with an Easter egg hunt with the Mommy & Me group at a park. Zach had preschool that morning so it was just me and Kali heading to the park and she was so excited. There was a huge turnout and plenty of eggs and fun! Kali had so much fun with her friend Kinsey. While waiting for the egg hunt to start they found a patch of flowers and I got a few cute pics of them . It was a little chilly and I couldn't get Kali to take off her hood so sorry about those few pics where you can't even see her. We had all the kids sit on the bleachers and sing songs while the eggs were being hidden. As you can see there were tons of kids and it really was a lot of fun. The first egg Kali found she had to open and discovered candy inside. SO, of course every egg she picked up she had to open to see what was inside. I had to convince her to keep finding the eggs and then we'll open them at the end. She was so cute and it was fun to spend time with just her. It was so cute how they all sat down next to each other to discover what was in their eggs. The sugar binge begins!








Saturday we had an Easter Egg hunt at Aunt Kristin's house in her massive backyard. The kids had so much fun! They especially loved just sitting and eating all the jelly beans til their hearts' were content. They had a picnic outside eating chicken dinos and apples and of course more jelly beans! Oh well, who cares! I figure let them binge on sugar for one weekend and then it all disappears after that. What's the fun in Easter Egg hunts if you don't get any candy, right?! Plus I get to pick out all the good stuff and eat it myself! Especially the chocolate! I am a "chocoholic" for those of you that didn't know.




Sunday morning the kids woke up to find that the Easter bunny left them a little something in their baskets. They were so excited about their new "binoculars", as Zach would call them. A simple toy and a little candy is all they needed to be entertained for the next little while. Kali was loving that she could see Cinderella in her "noculars".



Here are a few pictures of Zach and Kali in there Sunday Easter outfits. Zach's new favorite thing to wear to church now are new ties and his missionary tag. He thinks he is so big these days. As you can see, the weather has been so nice lately. We went to Mark's parents house after church to have Easter dinner with them and we had a great time. We had a really nice Easter Sunday.

Great pictures and it sounds like you guys had a great Easter. You are smart to let them eat the candy that weekend and then make it disappear - i still have an entire bag that needs to "get lost!!" haha!! i have eaten the good stuff already!! We have an excuse right, we are PREGNANT!! Hate to get on the scale at my next visit!!
