Easter was alot of fun for us this year. The kids make the holidays so much fun for me. I'll miss it when these years are over. It's a time of year where we can really contemplate the true meaning of Easter. The Atonement and the ressurection of Jesus Christ. Because He loves us so much he was willing to pay the price of our sins by dying a painful death. He bleed from every pore beacause of our transgressions so that we could live with Him and Heavenly Father again. He was ressurected on the third day so that we too can be ressurected and have our bodies reunited with our spirts once again. What a wonderful gift that is to each of us. Although I love all the fun things of Easter it's important not to forget the true meaning.
The boys woke up excited to see what the Easter Bunny brought them.
Needless to say they were not disapointed. I think the Easter Bunny goes overboard on the candy each year. You think she would get it right by now. Her eyes must be bigger than her appetite...or maybe, just maybe, she was thinking of Mom and Dad when she filled them. :-)
They loved going through their baskets.
Gavin didn't get as much candy as his brothers, but the Bunny compensated that with a puzzle and some extra litttle toys.
What's Easter without Peeps?
Or a Whoopie Cushion for that matter. The boys absoulutely loved these. I think they were the hit of their baskets. Hmmm...imagine that...little boys liking a toy like this.
From Mom and Dad they get some sort of clothing each year. Here is Jack getting his Tony Hawk shirt. He was happy! After the baskets we all got dressed in our Easter clothes and went to church. When we came home we had our Easter Egg Hunt.
Gavin found these in his Lightning McQueen bike all by himself.
This year we were surprised to find that there were even eggs hidden in the garage. Dylan's face is too funny. He found an egg in the stroller that he was having a hard time getting out.
Every year for Easter we put a leg of lamb in the rotisserie. It's one of our favorite meals. We stuff it with olive oil, garlic, Greek rub, fresh rosemary, lemon and feta cheese. The kids look forward to baskets and hunts and Mom and Dad look forward to dinner.
Jack fell asleep at the end of the day with his toothbrush, hat and notepad next to him. It was a long but good day.

How fun. Dylan's face cracks me up. And Jack sleeping on the floor how cute. You know they had tons of fun when they crash in the middle of playing. What a fun Easter. I can't wait until we get to that point. Todd is the only one who gets excited to see what's in HIS basket....Kinzi still doesn't get it. Hopefully next year.
