Happy Easter

Well a lot has been going on that I have meant to post about and just haven't! I'll probably end up breaking it up into a few different posts though. Plus my last few post have been pretty pictureless so I intend to make up for it here...

First of all, Happy Easter! Bryan and I had a great Easter together! I know we are both adults and no longer believe in the Easter Bunny, but some how he still finds us! We celebrated Easter with baskets and an egg hunt just like every family should! We just do things a little different...

In Bryan's basket he go a book that he saw at Jess and Ben's and decided that he just had to have! It's called What Your Poo is Telling You... I don't even know what to say to justify him getting that book. I can tell you that the "Easter bunny" was extremely embarrassed when she had to ask someone to help her find that book! Anyway, he also got the new Stargate movie, and huge blueberry muffins from Sam's.

In my basket I also got a book. Mine is called You Are Special by Max Lucado. I LOVE his books! When I was in Sister Kari Tolle's YW class she read this book to us and I have been dying to get it ever since! "Thank you Easter bunny!"I also got this really cool figure of a pregnant women. I actually bought the same thing for Jessica just a few days before Easter so I guess that's one more thing that we both have!

Jack had a GREAT Easter. Bryan filled some plastic eggs with his favorite doggie treats and we hid them all over the living room. I was amazed at how quickly he found them all. I was also very surprised to find that he could open the eggs on his own and get his treat out all by himself! (This is good to know for future egg hunts when the eggs will be filled with things that are not for puppies!)

He found them hidden under his toy basket...
...under the dinning room table...
...up on Bryan's chair...
...although that one took some thinking about how to get it down!It was way cute!

After a nice breakfast we left for church and taught the Easter lesson to our sunbeams. For those of you who don't know sunbeams are the class of 3 or 4 year old children. So was talked about the REAL meaning of Easter and when we were really celebrating. After the lesson we had each of the kids tell "Brother Bryan" what Easter was really for and if they were right they could get a treat. WELL... I'm not sure if parents would freak out about their kids names being on the Internet so I won't say who, but we had some of the funniest things! The word we were trying to get them to say was resurrection, but it rarely came out that way. My two favorites were from a little boy and a little girl. The little boy told Bryan that Easter was about "The resur-rectum of Jesus Christ"! The other girl kept say that "today is Easter-rection"! I swear these are some of the funniest kids I've taught in a long time!

When church was over Bryan and I went home and changed and then met over at mom and dad for a big "Easter" dinner. It was really more like a mini thanksgiving though. We had turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and rolls. It was delish!

I hope everyone else had as much fun on Easter as Bryan and I did.
