See, they would work great for Easter eggs!
Our weather has been so sporadic- one day it's hot and sunny, the next it's snowing. So, we have been taking advantage of the warm days to make sure we survive the cold ones. I love this picture down in the Riverwoods... blooming trees are glorious!
Saturday morning, we got our Easter baskets:
and then had an Easter egg hunt in the Riverwoods (which wasn't very satisfying. All the hundreds of eggs are laying out in plain sight and the hundreds of kids pick them up in three seconds flat. Boring)
Then we went up to the Rock Canyon park for a picnic with the grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles (I wish I'd gotten a picture of my grandparents there, but I didn't. Both Norviels and Walkers were there- how lucky am I?). We also had a REAL Easter egg hunt with the kids. That means at least a hundred eggs for less than 10 kids who really have to look to find a treat:
Yep, that includes climbing the trees!
All the kiddos
Lydia did awesome obviously!
That's Lexi's basket- I thought it was cute...
Now that the Easter 'bunny' part of the weekend was over, Sunday was dedicated wholly to the real meaning of Easter. All week we read the scriptures that went with each day of the week of Christ's life and I also broke out my GAK with all the pictures from the New Testament. We spent a good hour putting them all in order and reading the stories that went with them. On Sunday, we read the scriptures of the Resurrection and watched Lamb of God. I think the boys got it and Afton recognizes Jesus in any picture. :)
Here's the kids in their Easter outfits!
Can you tell I love having a little girl?
