Easter 2013

Our city has a free Easter egg hunt and we were excited to have the kids participate.  Before it started the kids were thrilled to meet the Easter Bunny.

I was shocked!  Things didn't go so well last December with Santa, but the Easter Bunny was a whole different story

Emily was so enthralled! 

 The kids were very excited to explore the park before the egg hunt.  I think it is Danny's new favorite because of the "spider man" net.

The Famous Daves pig - thank you for the free kids' meals!

I love Danny here.  He was saying, "Mom!  I have his tail!"

 The actual Easter egg hunt was separated on the different fields depending on age.  Ken was with Danny and got a few pictures, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get any of Emily.  Emily had a lot of fun though.  I was shocked at how quickly all the eggs were collected!  I have learned that in the future we apparently need to run directly to the middle of the field, otherwise you only get a few on the outside.  No big deal though.  Emily had tons of fun!  According to Ken, Danny didn't really get what was going on.  He got so distracted and just wanted to open up the egg he had just picked up.  As a result Danny didn't get very many eggs.  Again, just fine with us.  They still had fun and weren't overwhelmed with candy!

On Easter morning, the kids woke up and found the Easter baskets that the Easter Bunny had hidden in the house.  He left Emily with a doll and a pony, and Danny was left with a big firetruck and an airplane.  Thanks Easter Bunny!  They had fun finding all the eggs that were left hidden in our living room too.  The Easter Bunny also left Danny a wonderful letter talking about our Savior and the Atonement.

After church we headed to Ken's parent's house for our Easter dinner.  The kids had so much fun!  Grandma set up a wonderful Easter Egg hunt in the house, and the kids loved playing with their cousins.  It is so fun to see their relationships strengthen and to see them actually becoming good friends.  They always so excited to see them.

I love this picture of Danny & Grandma

Ken's sister, Chantale and I are both pregnant, and are only 5 weeks apart.  We're both having boys, which is going to be so fun!  Everyone said we had to take a picture together.  I hate pregnancy pictures, but of course they weren't having that.  Here I am at 34 1/2 weeks (Chantale is about 29 1/2 weeks).

All the kids got new Easter outfits.  Emily got a cute little dress - I think she is just so adorable!
