We had such a great Easter this year. We really enjoyed being with the boys and I always love when Conference falls on Easter. It really helped us to focus on the Savior. This year I showed the boys "The Lamb of God." They were a little bit traumatized over it, but asked some great questions. I think that it is okay for kids to know the story, even if it is so sad.
We had creme brulee french toast, orange juice, bananas and sausage for our breakfast. The french toast is our tradition. So yummy. I will post the recipe on the recipe blog soon.
I think they liked it.
Between Conference sessions we did our Easter egg hunt. Since the boys already had so much sugar we decided to do something different. We hid Caprisuns, string cheese, and eggs filled with gummy frogs (okay we had a little sugar) and Scooby snacks. Then we let the boys snack on their spoils during the second session of Conference.
This was Josh's favorite hiding spot. Can you find them? It took the boys a while.
They could only collect 13 egg. Poor Hunter didn't quite get it, he casually walked around taking the whole thing in.
Lincoln asked Josh for Scooby snacks at the store the other day-Josh surprised him and put them in the eggs. Linc was thrilled!
Palmer found the "jackpot" egg.
Now this might not be a big deal to you, but gum is outlawed IN our house. The kids can have it outside, but I am not dealing with gum in hair, carpet, furniture, etc. I have told the kids they can have it when they are older, but right now we don't have it, so this was a rare treasure.
After the second session of Conference we went to my Mom's house for an incredible dinner. It was so fun to be around the family. No matter how often we get together, I never feel it is enough. I didn't take any pictures of the night (crazy huh?)
After I was played the piano for the boys to fall asleep I came upstairs to find Josh and McKay asleep with them. So cute. If you look closely, Josh and Lincoln fell asleep holding hands. No wonder those kids love this man, he is the best Dad ever!
