The past few days we have been enjoying some Easter activities. Yesterday the kids and I had a great time at Easter egg hunt at a friend's house. This was Xander's first egg hunt. He didn't get it at first, then I told him to get the balls and he was all over that. The girls had a blast also. Janika got all of her eggs before I could even get a picture, so all I got was her with her eggs.
Today we spent the day as a family enjoying the great weather and getting ready for Easter. The kids had a blast coloring the eggs. Most of our eggs are cracked from Xander dropping them in the cups. He loved pulling them out and seeing the different colors. Sam even got involved with a Superman egg. While the eggs were sitting in the die, Sam built a fire. The kids have been asking for one for weeks and we finally got some wood(thanks Polly). The fire pit has been the best purchase, the kids love it and it get the whole family out side and talking. Xander was really cute with the fire, he had to tell everyone that it was HOT over and over again.
Today was a great day with the family. We started the day very early thanks to Janika who came into our room screaming "It's Easter, everyone get up". The kids enjoyed finding their Easter baskets filled with candy and Easter clothes. Xander got some new cars and hasn't let go of them all day. And the girls got roller skates and have been falling on their butts all day. Lets just say we have been laughing a lot today. This year the Easter bunny hid the egg outside. The kids enjoyed all the silly places the Easter Bunny hid the eggs.. The kids now are on a sugar high from all of the jelly beans and chocolate eggs, but its Easter why not. Sam and I's favorite part of Easter is the food. We started the morning with yummy warm cinnamon rolls. Then for dinner we had the traditional dinner of ham, potatoes, roll, and ect. There's a yummy banana cream pie in the fridge right now just wanting to be eaten. But first we all have to take our Easter nap.
