Happy Easter

We had a good Easter. Unfortunately Daddy had to work all weekend but we still got to have fun with a bunch of other family. We woke up Sunday morning to some fun baskets from the Easter bunny. The kids checked out their loot and then we got to watching General Conference. Of course the talks and music were all fantastic. After the first session my brother and his family came over as well as Aunt Jenn and our friend/aunt Pam. The kids had an egg hunt and had a great time and by the time that was done it was time to get to the last session of conference. After the last session we had a yummy dinner of ham, funeral potatoes, fresh fruit salad, and rolls. It was tasty and visiting with family and eating is always fun to do. It was a typical Easter for us. Nothing really new or different but it was nice. We really are thankful for these moments we have to spend with family.
Goodies from the bunny and from G&G Kinney.
I obviously did not build up the Easter bunny with the kids. We found the treats on the table and I asked the kids where they came from. They told me that Grandma just put them there. Silly me but that's OK because Easter isn't all about the bunny anyway.

Noah has the funniest faces in pictures these days.
Zoey had this cute idea to take a picture with their bunny ears and Reese's Pieces carrots.
The newer tradition of the bunny cake. My mom makes it every year and I think it's cute.
The grandkids listening intently to the egg hunting instructions from Grandma.
Zoey was paired up with Elyssa to help her find all her eggs. It was cute how the 3 bigger kids helped the 3 smaller kids hunt for their eggs first.
Noah always has to stop and start checking out his goodies a couple eggs in.
Sorting through all the goodness. Eggs filled with chocolate AND money!
Zoey had quite a time finding some of her eggs. It was fun to watch her and she was actually very patient which for her is kind of a big things sometimes.
