Easter 2011

It is so different not having family around for Easter. We got to do it all by ourselves this year. Friday night we painted the eggs. They turned out beautifully.

The kids were so proud of the eggs they decorated.
Saturday was filled with egg hunts and shopping. First was the hunt at Mirra's school. It is kind of nice being in a small town. There wasn't a whole bunch of kids there and both Mirra and Mason got quite a few eggs. They loved it. Mason for the second year in a row got the big prize. He loves his new blue bunny. Poor Mirra was not very happy about that though. Maybe next year she will get the big prize.

Then the young women in the ward had an egg hunt for all the primary kids.

Some of the eggs had candy in them but others had little sayings in them with other little toys. One had an eraser and and talked about how because of Christ our sins can be erased. Another had a bouncy ball in it and talked about bouncing back after hard times through Christ. Things like that. They were really cute.
Sunday morning the Easter Bunny found us and left us baskets and an egg hunt in the Library. The kids loved it. After church we played games and watched Tangled which Mirra got in her Basket.
