Easter

Easter was really great! Ryan woke up from a nap Saturday morning with a fever and we thought it was going to be a horrible weekend. It was rough with Ryan. He had a fever until Sunday afternoon, we hardly got any sleep, and he wanted to be held the entire weekend, but we still had a great Easter. We stayed home more, as to avoid getting other people sick, and made it special for the kids. We started our Easter celebration on Friday with a big community Easter party. It included 7 bounce houses, egg hunts, food, and friends, all for free! Then Saturday our ward had an Easter egg hunt. So by Sunday, the kids were old pro's at the hunt thing. And we have WAY too much candy! We had Easter morning at our house- hunt and breakfast- then headed down to my parents for church and late afternoon/evening dinner. The kids had a blast as did we.
The kids lined up at the Ward Easter egg hunt getting ready to find eggs!

The Easter bunny left very adorable Easter baskets for the kids. And chocolate eggs all over the house. Outside were the real eggs and plastic eggs filled with candy.

*Note to Easter bunny: The real eggs got eaten by rabbits and big black birds. Yes, the entire egg, and all but 3 of them that were right next to the back door. Please leave all the real eggs right by the house or inside next year.

Ryan got really good at gathering all the eggs and putting in his basket. He also got some golf clubs in his Easter basket. He hasn't set them down since.

Yes, we're missing Jayne. She got changed out of her outfit so quickly after church, we never caught her for a picture. But this was Ryan's first Easter really. He slept through all of last one. So here's a picture with him :-)

We have to run outside right before the egg hunt to hide the eggs or the squirrls, raccons, or oposims will eat them all! It gets tricky when Dan is out of town, luckly he was here this year so me and the belly did not have to run around the back yard twice! :)
