Easter began on Friday with lots of fun at preschool. We made Easter door hangers and painted little suncatchers. Blessed be the Dollar Store that supplied me with such lovely crafts. We also hopped around like bunnies and read several Easter stories in addition to our normal preschool activities.
That night we also dyed easter eggs. Thank you to my mom who ran over her spiffy egg cooker so we could have lots of hard-boiled eggs to dye. It was piles of fun and was over much too quickly.
Saturday morning the Easter Bunny had come and much hunting and squeals ensued. 
Laura loved the scriptures that were in her basket the very most. She has been wanting her own set for quite a while now. Amazing how the bunny knows such things!
Sara just liked playing with all the colored things around. I think her favorite item from her basket was the cool bendy bunny. It eats well.
Sunday brought a very strange, and also very good, Easter. The girls looked adorable in their Easter dresses and we talked a lot about the Resurrection. And Laura was very proud to be taking her own scriptures to church.
Tragically, a darling little boy in our ward (one primary class above Laura - only 5 years old) had passed away very suddenly the night before. It hit home very hard for all of us parents and the grief was terrible in our meetings. There was also much explaining to do to the children. It was incredibly difficult and my heart goes out to this wonderful family.
That evening was wonderful when we had dinner with my parents and nephew. We had lots of fun playing and eating yummy food. (Suggestion: try cooking a turkey ###### in the crock pot.) And afterwards, my brother Steve and some of his family stopped by for a little while. Laura and Kiki loved playing in the Rocket and popping out the most.
Have I mentioned that holidays are so much better with kids?!
Oh my goodness, your girls are so cute!! Love how excited she is about the scriptures! Looks like you guys had a fun Easter. Holidays are always more fun with kids.
ReplyDeleteOh my fun Easter! The girls were just adorable and it was so nice to have so much family by. That's why we live so close and what the holidays are all about.
ReplyDeleteOh my! The girls look so amazing in the Easter dresses! How cute are they? Soooo Cute! I loved looking at all of the Easter pictures and activities. What can you say about precious Laura being so excited about her scriptures....how old is she??? (16?) She is way beyond her years in understanding in just about everything. Love the new pictures of Sara too! She is growing too fast though. I need to come hug those girls soon very soon! Hugs and kisses to you all!
