Easter Morning!


I love the Californian Easter Bunny!

Easter Egg Hunting

A local church hosted this egg hunt & put out 15 thousand eggs (they said). Sadly it was raining when they were going to start so they had to postpone the hunt for 2 hours. By the time it started a lot of the kids didn't come back to join the hunt so...a lot of eggs + not a lot of kids = lots of eggs for each kid! Our kind of egg hunt.

Eli is in that group somewhere...

These pictures were taken in our front yard on Easter, in April.


They really are friends!

He was trying so hard to keep his eyes open in the sun. Look at that determination!

Some Easter Photos

Eli had an easter Egg Hunt at school & Adrienne came too. She got to hunt for eggs for a girl who was absent that day. One of the other class Moms gave Adrienne a little goodie bag she made for her so she wouldn't feel left out. It's so sweet how they include her in the goings on at school. Eli had fun hunting for his eggs & running all over the fields at school.




This was an easter hunt that was sponsored for our neighborhood. Eli found the "golden egg" & won a big bunny!






They were so happy with their eggs!

Easter

We had some beautiful weather for the weekend & spent some of that time outdoors at an Easter Egg Hunt in the park near our house.
Eli was the prize winner for the family as he won a gift card to Toys "R" Us & his very own set of Resurrection Eggs! The shiny eggs were prize winners & as you can see he's got one in his hand!







We had our services Saturday night & Sunday morning. The people coming to the services split themselves pretty evenly so we didn't get slammed either day with too many diapers or other not so fun stuff. It ended up being around 15,ooo people overall & over half of that was people from the community, not regular attenders. It's amazing being surrounded by that many people praising the resurrection of our Lord & hearing the gospel message preached! On a smaller note, Adrienne was very excited to get to see Miss Pattycake two times!
Eli enjoyed seeing Bibleman again but was more thrilled with being able to go down the super slide on Sunday morning.
With Tony working on all the major holidays it allows us to spread it out over a few days. We celebrated from Friday through Wednesday! I let the kids go to the store on Monday & pick out any chocolate bunny they wanted. They thought Mom was cool & I was able to save some $$.
