Happy Easter

We had some crazy weather last week leading up to a beautiful Easter. On Friday we got 3 1/2 inches of snow. Guess who packed the snow away 2 weeks ago and had to get it back out because the kids begged to go out and play. Luckily I got out of playing because mine was really packed away and not readily available. So I watched from the window.

Later that day Emma and I colored eggs. She had been begging me all week.

Saturday we headed over the elementary school for the annual Easter Egg hunt.

James was very excited but not really aggressive to gather as many eggs as he could.

Emma knew just what to do.

Then we headed right inside to meet the Easter Bunny which Emma had been talking about doing but when it was our turn both kids were crying. Being the good parent I am I made them sit by that bunny that I stood in line for (even if it was only for a minute).

Then Emma got to do a craft and James and Daddy did the cake walk. They won a cupcake which James did not want. He wanted the smarty that everyone else got just for participating. Quinn was very happy to eat the cupcake.

Easter morning!

The kids got books, Bible story DVDs, swimming goggles and dive rings.

Oh and some candy.

They were allowed to eat their Cadbury egg before breakfast. James enjoyed his so much he got a chair and climbed up on the counter and ate Quinn's egg while I was upstairs getting ready for Church. I didn't discover this until after I tried to get him to eat his breakfast.

Hunting for eggs once Dad got home from his meetings.

Emma rushed around finding egg after egg. James almost stepped on some eggs and still didn't see them. He did enjoy himself by going down the slide and playing with the wagon. He would only pick up and egg if we pointed it out to him.

How come Dads never get/want anything new to wear on Easter?
