A little late, but hay...

So It is a Week ago today that One of the most important days of the year happened. The day we celebrate new life, the resurrection of Christ, and the Atonement. As the week has gone by and I look back on last Sunday, did I really teach my children the importance of what Easter is really about. Do they only look at Easter as a day that the Easter bunny comes and they get lots and lots of chocolate. I hope not. We had a family home evening lesson on The resurrection of Christ. Jesiah, ate up everything we talked about... Kassia got about 75% of what we talked about, Kasen maybe 10%, he is to busy moving all over the place along with Jaren. Jaren got even less, he liked the pictures of Jesus and that is about it.

On Sunday I wanted to do the Resurrection Rolls, but since we were at my moms house and it was conference, it never happened. I guess I will make goals for next year.
So in the morning the kids got their Easter baskets. They each got one small toy, a chocolate hallow rabbit, and some eggs filled with candy. I also decided that they get too much candy so I made Muddy Buddies to put in the plastic eggs. I think I will do this every year. They loved them and ended up putting them into a bowel and adding milk. Eating it just like cereal! LOL! I thought that was cute. So they got a little bit of nutrition with all that chocolate!
We had an egg hunt for all the cousins after the last conference, and then an Easter dinner with ham, green bean casserole, Mormon Potatoes, carrots with a orange sauce, and Jewish sweet bread. Krystal made the dessert a truffle. All of it was so good. It is always fun to be with family, my sisters, and their husbands and all the kidos. Here are some pictures.

I had to stop Jesiah just to take a picture, he was on a mission to collect the most eggs.

All of my kids after the egg hunt, notice Jaren has candy already in his mouth... I think it might be the third piece he is eaten.

Jaren discovered there was candy in them eggs, he had to stop and open it up!

Kassia stops for a smile!

Kasen sure has a lot of eggs, he loves gathering them!

All the cousins together!
