Easter Fun

We've been doing our best in between unpacking the house and settling in, to celebrate Easter. Our first festivity was getting to visit the Easter Bunny at Daddy's work. The kids loved it. Seriously, they weren't scared at all, although Tanner did ask me "What inside the Easter Bunny?" I'm a little worried  that he's starting to catch on. 

After seeing the Easter Bunny the kids got their faces painted like bunnies. So cute, right?

Love these two kids!

The next activity on our list was to dye Easter eggs. The kids were pros this year and it was so fun!

They had such a blast. I love Tanner's face in this picture!

Bailey was quite intrigued by the whole process. 

Tanner was so proud of all our bright eggs. 

Then on Thursday, before Easter, Tanner had his preschool Easter egg hunt. It was pretty much adorable. There were about 20 4-year olds scrambling to find eggs. There were plenty for everyone but it was so cute. Their excitement was so contagious. 

He kept showing me his basket and how proud he was of all the eggs he had. I was so happy I got to be there to watch him have so much fun. 

Saturday night was pretty eventful. Uncle Joseph and Aunt Julieta and the boys came over from Mtn. Home. We went to dinner with them and then when we got back, Nanny and Papa were waiting at our house for us. Everyone came over for Easter weekend. So fun. 

That night we also planted our "magical jelly beans" in the dirt. 

Tanner knew just what to do. He poured his pouch of jelly beans in the whole and covered it up. 

Bailey really wanted to eat her jelly beans, but she very carefully placed each jelly bean in the hole. So funny to watch. My kids are a little OCD, like their momma. 

When we got home from church, we found that the Easter bunny had visited and spread his Easter magic.

The kids found lollipops in place of their jelly beans. 

Bailey was more surprised then Tanner. She was so happy to see her lollipop. 

Easter morning the kids found their Easter baskets. 

They were pretty thrilled with their loot. 

Love these kids and they loved their Easter baskets. 

I made "Cinnabunnies" for breakfast, with eggs and sausage. Aren't they cute?

Then we got ready and went to church. Love these sweethearts in their Easter outfits.. 

It was a great Easter service and really helped me remember the real reason we celebrate Easter. Tanner even told us why we have Easter. It was adorable. He told me "we celebrate Easter because Jesus died on the cross. But He didn't stay dead. They put Him in a cave with a big rock so no one could find Him. Then the angel said "He isn't here" and He was resurrected and isn't dead." I thought he gave a pretty good explanation, considering he is 4-years old. 

After naps we had Easter dinner. Aaron and Stephanie Lanoy came over with Blake too. So there were 8-adults and 5 kids, ages 4 and under. Dinner was delicious though!

After we got cleaned up from dinner we took the kids outside for their Easter egg hunt. It was such a gorgeous day and evening. Seriously, could not have asked for better weather. 

Love this girl. She very quickly discovered their were jelly beans inside the eggs. 

Tanner was quite thrilled with the jelly bean discovery as well. 

Oh these crazy kids. Love their personalities. 

They truly are best friends. I love it so much!

We had a wonderful Easter, spent with family and friends and couldn't have asked for a better day. It was fantastic. I'm so grateful for my Savior and all the blessings I enjoy because of him. 

Now we are going to welcome our new boy on Tuesday. I'm being induced on tomorrow. CRAZY. Stay tuned for pics and the birth story. I'm a little nervous!
