Happy Easter!!

We had a nice Easter this year.  Saturday morning we went to our ward pancake breakfast and Easter egg hunt.  The kids had a great time.  Here is John collecting eggs.

 
 He was perfecting his reaching down and standing back up skills.


 I got a lot of pictures of John because he is the slowest moving.
Easiest to keep up with.


 
Grant had no trouble finding eggs - I helped him a little.
 The nursery kids got to have the first crack at finding eggs.
No pun intended.

 
Later the junior primary got to have a turn (Matthew and Anna) 



And here are the kids on Easter morning.  I felt happy that I was able to get Bunny Buns made before we had to leave for church at 8:30.  Small victories.


We also had a little Easter egg hunt in the yard before church




We stayed after church a little while Scott did the tithing (he is the ward financial clerk right now).  So this is the best picture I got of the kids dressed for Easter.  We didn't have any special outfits or anything.
 
After church Anna had a mega tantrum.  She had had a similar one on Saturday.  :(  After she had screamed herself out, she fell asleep on the couch for about 6 hours and missed dinner.  After an episode or two like that I start seriously doubting my parenting skills.  Scott reminded me that we are doing our best and that she came from heaven that way (with a "strong willed" personality).  And she did.  Hoping for better days with her ahead.

And ready for Easter dinner - ham, potatoes, spinach salad...all good things.
Happy Easter everyone!!

Getting eggs hidden and bunny buns made before 8:30 am is no small task. What a wonderful mom.
Everyone looks very festive for Easter Sunday.

Yay for bunny buns! I made my dough the night before and let it warm up that morning before church. Dana is our financial clerk too so we feel you. Happy Easter!
