Easter

Eddie went TDY right before Easter, so I  didn't do much for Easter. It's getting pretty sad with how little I actually do at Easter time... I really need to be better about that since it's kinda a big deal. 

The spiritual aspect, not the commercial. :-D

So Saturday morning, I whipped together a few candy-filled eggs and gave them to the kids. Their gifts hadn't come yet (Thank you, shipping to Hawaii!) which were books for Sacrament mtg. to help them focus more on being reverent. (And it hasn't worked yet...) 

Then we picked up Daddy at the airport and went to a little get together at a friend's house, so I made some bunny shaped rolls to take.

My little Easter present to myself was a "Scrap Trap"... a little garbage catcher that  you put on the drawers in the kitchen to catch crumbs and drippy messes so you don't have to take them all across the kitchen. We are good friends, me and the scrap trap :-)

 Grandma Leavitt sent some Easter clothes for my kids. 

Here's Hunter in his getup:

 My adorable kids!

After church, we relaxed and did a small picnic with some friends where the kids did an Easter egg hunt with some of their friends from church. We were going to teach them the Easter story with the eggs, but ran out of time, so we ended up doing that for FHE on Monday. This is the first year that I actually got it all together in time and found what I was looking for! (Thanks to Pinterest!)
