Happy Easter!!!

We had such a lovely Easter. It is so nice to sit back and reflect on our Savior Jesus Christ and all he has done for us. We are thankful for the Atonement and for the Resurrection in our lives. We enjoyed church and all the Easter messages that were given (as much as we can with Easton!)

After we got home we ate some lunch really quick and then Skyped with some family. After we skyped we dyed our eggs. We were going to do it on Saturday but it just didn't happen. Ella really liked doing it but she is a little rough still but we managed to only crack one egg! Easton was beyond tired and so after the first 2 eggs he went down for a nap, besides he doesn't really get it yet anyways.
He just wanted to dip his hands in it and dump it out. And then he wanted to eat it!
Andrew was nice and very patient with Ella and they dyed all the eggs together!After there naps their baskets were waiting for them on the couch. I was going to hide eggs or baskets but decided they did enough egg hunts and that they wouldn't understand trying to find their baskets. Ella was excited for Princess Crayons! Easton was thrilled with more candy. They also both got some sticker sheets. Easton got a couple race cars to go to their ramp.
They dove right in and we let them share an egg of jelly beans and then we put it up. As a family for Easter we bought The Lion King. Ella watched it at a friends house a while back and hasn't stopped talking about it plus it might be going back into the "vault" again so we decided to get it while we can!
They were so cute sharing their jelly beans and feeding each other.
Naming all the princesses on the crayon box!Easton loved his new cars he got right to work pushing them around!
I found some cute carrot necklace bubbles in the Target $1 bin that had two to a pack. They actually are really good bubbles for being .50 cents. After Easter baskets we had our friends The Lants over for dinner. We were able to eat outside it was so nice and the kids played like crazy (couldn't be all the sugar!) It is nice to have good friends to celebrate holidays with when family is so far away! Thanks for coming over Lants! After dinner we had bunny cake that they made! It was really good!
