Easter Sunday

We had a quiet Easter at home this year. Dayton remembered that the bunny came and brought him candy in eggs that he hid. So every morning for about a week Dayton asked if it was Easter yet. Well that day finally came and the kids found great surprises. After all the excitement we were able to watch conference on t.v. as we heard from our church leaders who helped remind us what Easter is all about, and we are so grateful for that.

The Easter Bunny took a time out of his busy day to come see us at our local store on Saturday. We went all excited to see the bunny, play games, get candy, but all that was there was the bunny. And as Dayton pointed out to me, "he didn't even talk". So Dayton came to the conclusion that this was not the real Easter Bunny, but his helper. And I completely agreed.

Here they are petting him. Not really sure why, but I was just glad Camrie would go to him. And then I could not get her away, and she giggled every time she stood by him. I am pretty sure she even made it in a few other family pictures.

Easter Morning

We had a late night out with friends Saturday night, so Dayton did not get up till almost 9, and then he was kind enough to wait for Camrie to wake up. When he woke me up he was all excited because he knew the bunny had come. I asked him how he knew and he told me, "because I can see some eggs, but all I see are pink and purple eggs. I don't want pink and purple eggs those are girl colors." Well much to his relief he found that his were blue and green.

At first they were all into their baskets, but once we told them to find the eggs there was no stopping them. Dayton was on a mission, and even Camrie was close behind finding most her eggs by herself.

It was so cute, every time Camrie found an egg she would jump and squeal or giggle and run to get it. One was in the corner of the couch and she dove for it. Kyle and I loved watching the kids get so excited.

Before long all the eggs were found and it was candy eating time.

Other then candy they also got, bubbles, chalk, shoes, a toy, Camrie got a dress and Dayton a sweatshirt. And one of Dayton's favorite things was $1. Thanks to all the grandparents, the kids had a great Easter.
