Easter Fun begins....

So this Easter weekend....I took the kids to the annual Easter egg hunt here in billings...well one the them that they hold..this Easter egg hunt was sponsored by the Harvest church and it was held at the castle rock Park..which is just down the street form us...So we decided to walk there...which was great because...there were so many people..and hardly any places to park...so good choice I thought...though the kids were like mom.....are we there yet..how much longer do we need to walk...I was thinking in my mind that it has been a long winter..they are not exercised enough...we need to get out more..and hopefully with the spring coming we can...lol...Any who..We arrived there..and got a fl yer of where we needed to be and sense my husband had to work this lovely day..I had mercedi pair up with mikayla..in a group and then I took logan and melanie together in logans group..it worked out well...The kids had so much fun hunting for Easter eggs...and they even got quite a few eggs as well...and there were so many kids who saw that other didn't have very many and took from there own basket and gave to kids who did not have much..I thought that was very kind of these kids..there parents are teaching them right...So after that...we adventured home and then dad got home at super time and we began coloring the eggs...This went by pretty fast..they are always so eager to decorate there eggs..and of course every year one of the Easter dyes get tipped over and we have a big mess to clean up....love the smell of vinegar lingering on ...lol...After which was bed time and time to set the easter baskets out....Of course this whole week leading up to Easter mercedi had an easter book that explained Jesus last days and the advents that took place...this was a great way of helping the kids learn a little bit about the savior and what he went through for us..and why we celebrate easter...To know that he died for us...I love teaching the kids about our savior...and they loving hearing the stories....So soon it was morning..and they were up bright and early....which was good because jesse was leaving for work..and he was able to participate with that good news in the morning..they were all very happy to get there sweet gifts....Now sense church doesn't start until one this year..we just waited around until it was time to get ready...listening to church music...As soon as we got all ready..I took there pictures out side..with there easter attire...I made mercedi and mikayla's dresses..though mikayla was not having a good day..she was not wanting to take pictures..I am assuming it was because she was up way to early...lol...any way..logan looked sharp in his new green shirt and tie..and melanie in her cute flower dress...she too will have dresses made when she gets a little older..and they last a while in growth..lol...Then off to church we went..it was a wonderful day and easter celebration...When also had some great dinner...ham and funeral potatoes and corn on the cob and of coarse....I made apple pie...I love apple pie..it is my favorite pie out there...yummmy...What an Easter Day!!!!!
