We had another great Easter this year. I love spring and I love the Easter season! What a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our Savior and the joy our knowledge of His resurrection brings. If only we could have celebrated with our entire extended family, but as I often tell Jay, "You can't always get what you want." :) We still had a great weekend. Jay and I started out by coloring Easter eggs. Here we are starting out...
Notice this was taking place inside. On our dining room table. While sitting on cloth covered chairs. With only carpet underneath (seriously - who EVER thought carpet in a dining room was a good idea?). As you may have guessed, it didn't exactly go as planned. I told Jay to gently lower one of the eggs by himself (bad idea) using one of those ridiculous wire egg holders (worse idea) while I got Amaya a snack (not even supervising him? terrible idea!). Next thing I knew blue dye was everywhere and I was shouting hysterically. Luckily I wasn't shouting at Jay - I kept reassuring him it wasn't his fault while I furiously tried to soak up the dye and clean the carpet while simultaneously reprimanding myself... quite forcefully. I think Jay and Amaya were both in shock. Ten minutes later I had somehow managed to clean up the disaster with surprisingly little damage to the carpet. I gathered my babies up, told them I was sorry for "freaking out" and we all went outside to try again. This time? Total success!
On Saturday morning Jay was pretty excited to wake up to his Easter basket.
After eating too many jelly beans we headed out to the Zoo for an Easter egg hunt.
Then Jay got to meet the Easter bunny.
So did My My but she wasn't quite as excited as Jay :)
Then Jay was able to meet a real bunny.
And a few other animals too.
Here are the kids on Easter Sunday.
This is how the kids really felt about taking pictures...
I sure love my little ones!
