Easter

Easter all starts with the dying of the eggs. The kids were very excited to color the eggs,however, I was a little nervous. 4 very excited kids, 3 dozen eggs, 10 colors of dye, and 1 mom.

It turned out great. The kids all took turns and worked together. We only had 1 spill, 5 cracked eggs, and 40 dyed fingers. During egg dying I really missed my sister. This is one of Janette's favorite things to do. I find comfort in knowing that she is doing the same thing in Iraq.

Easter morning came VERY early this year. At about 6 a.m. I hear "Mom, are you and Krew awake yet?" I was able to hold them at bay until about 6:45. This is why Jake is not in any of the pictures. They all loved the treats and movies that the Easter Bunny left.

The Easter Bunny this year changed things up. He hid all the eggs in the front yard, instead of in the house or the back yard. This was a good thing because the kids would have had all the eggs found and collected before anyone was awake.

Easter this year was great. Easter fell on Conference weekend so we had a very relaxed day watching conference and hearing the words of the prophet. Instead of the big Easter dinner, Symen made a amazing breakfast and we had steaks and salad for dinner. It was a fun day, however, it just wasn't the same without Janette. I am looking forward for her to come home and we can start to build memories together.
