Easter Fun!

Okay these pictures are way out of order and I am not importing them again! I'm having technical difficulties lately. Easter weekend was very busy with THREE EASTER EGG HUNTS!!! Yes three. The kids enjoyed every minute of it and I don't want to think of all the cavities we are going to get as a result. Fun was inevitable, and excitement was contagious. These pictures are all out of order so bear with me as the pictures don't match the timeline.
Saturday was the Leadore Easter Egg Hunt where the Easter Bunny made an appearance. Surprisingly my two oldest girls were okay with a picture this year. Notice the snow all over the ground in the picture, like everyone else, we woke up to four inches of snow on the ground that morning. We dressed Haylee up in her bunny costume and took some cute pictures at home that day, I posted my favs. I couldn't post the pictures in their dresses, again with the technical difficulties. They are in their Easter dresses for the sidebar pictures. It was nice to listen to our general authorities on Saturday with my kids. I don't have them sit and listen intently on Saturday, one day of that nearly breaks them. But I listen to it through the day as I prepare for Sunday.
Sunday morning the Easter Bunny left some nice gifts this year, and an EGG HUNT for the kids in the house. They had a BLAST with that, the Easter Bunny hid them kind of hard this time so it took some time to find them! But the big surprise was that Mr. Easter Bunny surprised us all! He left bikes for all three of us girls (Haylee got jipped there). So we are looking forward to the nice sunny days where we can go outside and ride. We went to Grandma and Grandpa Bird's house after the first session of conference to find another EGG HUNT for the kids. It was nicer outside (by nicer I mean the snow was melted, the wind was still blowing us away) and the kids had a race to the finish one more time. I'm hoping we don't keep increasing the number of hunts each year, it seems to be a pattern here. I'm good with one, but what do I know I'm just the mom!

The Easter Bunny made these three girls happy!!!

Haylee was content as can be to play with the empty easter eggs:

Easter Weekend

Our weekend was crazy, hectic but enjoyable as well. We started the weekend with the Leadroe Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday. Sadie went nuts getting all the eggs she could and was done with a basket full of candy and eggs quite fast. She came over to Lexi's section and helped Lexi figure out how to maximize her efforts. The Easter Bunny was even there and scared Lexi until she was out egg hunting and then she wanted to show the Easter Bunny what she found on the ground. lexi enjoyed picking up the suckers the best. After she had a sucker in each hand she figured she was good and just ate them both before sister came to help and demonstrate the effectiveness of speedy gathering. Prizes are awarded to whomever picks up the lucky eggs with written instructions on them. Sadie got three prizes in her eggs and thanks to sister, Lexi got two prizes in her eggs. Sadie picked out a book, bubbles and a kickball. Lexi got a duck shaped cup and a noisy toy. The girls had a fun time and I enjoyed myself too.

On Sunday morning, Lexi was the first out of bed and went straight for the candy peeps in her basket. Sadie followed and they loved all the candy they got. The Easter Bunny had trouble finding suitable Easter Dresses this year so he supplemented with PJ and robe sets. The kids LOVED their horse PJ's and robes. They wanted to wear them all day and when we got back from church they changed back into them. Sadie has worn them every night and I had to convince her that it wasn't Pajama Day at school today!
