Easter 2011

Since we were out of town this weekend, I prepared all of the Easter things before we left so it would be ready when we got home.  Lydia was so happy that the Easter Bunny came even though we were out of town.  She got the piano she wanted to add to her dollhouse!  She was a good girl in Disneyland and deserved it!!  :) 

 And of course, we hid a bunch of eggs all over the house!

 I love getting genuine reactions to things...on our way home from the airport Lydia mentioned that she wanted sparkly eggs.  Thank goodness we were on the same brain wave!  haha!

 She was given this egg picker upper as a gift from her Great Auntie and it was a hit. She played with it for the rest of the night.

 Baby brother finally woke up from his nap and got in on the action.  This was his first Easter!

After we had been home for a couple of hours, we headed over to Jake's parents house to celebrate Easter with dinner and an egg hunt!

Every grandchild LOVES Grandpa!  Here's Timmy & G-pa!

 Nate loves him too!  He's such a good G-pa!

We've tried to focus on the real meaning of Easter the past few weeks so we've had a couple of FHE's about the resurrection.  Lydia's at the the age where she's understanding more so hopefully we're getting through to her and when she's asked about Easter hopefully her answer will be about Christ and not the Easter Bunny!  P.S.  If you haven't made resurrection rolls yet, you must!!!  It's so cool and such a good and simple way to help younger kids understand what Easter is all about.
