Easter

Our Easter pics didn't turn out so great. Kyleigh looked at the pictures I was going to post and asked, "why are you putting those on there, they aren't anything special." We started Easter this year with a family home evening lesson where we cut out pictures of Jesus from the Friend, glued a cardstock back on the pictures, looked up and read scriptures and wrote them on the back of the pictures. We hung them on our "Easter tree" (a branch). Our ward had a dinner and Easter egg hunt. It was fun to watch Ridge get excited about picking up the eggs. We also dyed Easter eggs and hunted them at home, and had a visit from the Easter bunny. The Easter bunny brought us some goodies and a cake making play dough set. We thought the Easter bunny was exceptionally generous this year, then we found out that he left American girl dolls for the neighbors. Kyleigh has been asking for an American girl doll for awhile. She has even considered spending ALL of her savings to buy one. No one said anything about the super nice Easter bunny next door. Not really sure how to respond to that one if they did. We had Mike and Holly and the Petersons over for a traditional Easter dinner. It was good food and good company.

We can't fail to say that we missed the Giles this year. We called to wish them a happy Easter. Kyleigh and I were guessing how many eggs they used for their hunt. Up 60 from last year, to 300. That made us smile. Nobody does Easter like the Giles.

Hope everyone had a great Easter.
