Easter

Happy Easter!  We had another great holiday.  It is always a great time of the year when life seems to enter back into our lives as the flowers start to bloom and the leaves start to grow on the trees and for most species the young ones are born.  Is it any wonder this is the season for the resurrection of our Lord.  We are so appreciative of our Savior and though the holiday has taken a more worldly view by society we still try and focus on the true reason we celebrate this holiday.

We took a family night to dedicate to making our colored eggs.  The girls always love doing this activity and they are getting pretty good at doing most of it themselves.

We also headed out for another Egg Hunt at Weldon Springs.  This is by far our favorite egg hunt in the area.  They have these golden and silver eggs that you can turn in for big prizes.  We didn't get any of those eggs last year so this year we were determined to get at least one.  When we arrived we scoped out the egg field and quickly found a couple golden eggs that we were going to go after.  We actually kind of hovered over one egg to make sure we got it when they said go.  We were also very lucky as we ran across the field to find another one, so both our girls were able to get big prizes.  Not to mention there was a lot of candy in those eggs.  Also to our amazement, Brindi actually sat on the Easter Bunnies lap!  Brooke was another story.

Easter morning was a good time as you can see through the video above.  I think the girls were very pleased with Peter Cottontail's gifts.  Spring clothing, kits, candy, a chocolate bunny, and new CTR rings.  What more cold a kid want!

Celeste also took the time to make rice crispy egg nests for Brindi.  She loved making these little nests and I loved eating them whole!
