EasTeR fUn!

We had such a fun Easter weekend! It started by decorating Easter eggs.

Look at that concentration!

 Brandon was going to need to leave the house on Sunday at 6:45am for his meetings before church. Having a husband in the Bishopric means you have to be flexible. So we knew that we wouldn't be able to do Easter stuff in the morning before church. We encouraged Porter to write a letter to the Easter Bunny to ask him when he would be visiting:

And the Easter Bunny wrote Porter a note back telling him that he was going to hide Easter eggs after daddy got home while everyone was napping. That way daddy wouldn't miss anything. Porter was so excited to see the note!

On Saturday, we went to Bauman Farms for their Egg Hunt.

Brothers waiting patiently for the hunt to start.

And Brody was lovin' being on his daddy's back!

This is so sad, but Hudson only got one egg.

One.

I was trying to help him, but there were so many people there and they were taking more than the 12 egg limit. 

But look at his happy smile, anyways!

What an awesome kid!

Porter fared much better and got his 12 eggs. He even shared a few with his brother.

He's a pretty awesome kid, too!

My boys look forward to the Bauman Farms egg hunt every year because of this:

The jumping pillow. It's their fav!

This pic is so funny! Porter would drag Brody up the pillow then...

Brody would bounce all the way down!

Like I said earlier, we didn't do any of the Easter stuff until after church. So before church, I took pics of them in their Easter outfits, and we talked about Jesus and his resurrection. I really, really like this schedule. We did this same thing last year when church was so early. It is so nice to focus on Christ and the reason why we celebrate Easter, for the morning. I think it really sets the tone for the rest of the day. And it is so good for my kids to help them not get so caught up in the commercial Easter stuff.

After they woke up from their nap, this is what they found!

They played with all their stuff from their Easter baskets for a good half hour & finally Hudson looked out our screen door to the backyard & yelled "eggs!"

And the egg hunting began!

This time Hudson got lots of eggs!

Checking out their stash of candy and money... little did they know that there were also eggs hidden in the front & side yards!

My sleeping angel finally woke up (with a little help).

And he had to explore all the fun things.

Brandon didn't look too happy trying to put Porter's model car together. I think he was a little mad at the Easter Bunny:)

Now that everyone was awake, I told them to bring their baskets to the front yard so I could take some pictures of them. This is when they discovered that they were not done with their egg hunting!

Brody was so funny! He would pick up an egg and then throw it like a ball!

Happy Easter, everyone! I hope yours was as enjoyable as ours was!
