Easter

I am actually really proud of myself that I am getting Easter pictures up the day after Easter - instead of next week! We had a fun Easter- celebrated over several days! The twins had an Easter egg hunt at their school on Wednesday - and since I am "mother of the year" - I forgot my camera! It was flooding outside - so they had their hunt inside - which made hiding the eggs a little more challenging for their teacher... Each kid got 25 eggs - that was a lot of candy to bring home between the two of them - 50 eggs!?!



On Saturday, Devon's Aunt Yvonne had an Easter dinner at her house - with an egg hunt for the little kids! It was even dry enough to have it outside! The twins had fun- and found lots of eggs! Cayden was especially excited about the eggs that had pennies!

Since we already had a bunch of candy before the Easter bunny had even come to our house - the Easter bunny decided to bring new art supplies to the twins! They love to color and write - so we threw out all the broken and dried out crayons and markers - and all the well used and loved coloring books - for new ones! We also found some cute matching Easter outfits for the kids! Cayden was so excited to have something to match Barrett! He has been wanting a matching shirt with his brother for a long time! Hadley was excited about her dress because she could "twirl" in it! Barrett was exited about the cute socks that match his sweater vest that his Aunt Casie bought him! (really it was me that was excited - thanks Case!)

I think the best part was hearing the twins talk about Jesus being resurrected. I am glad that they know why we celebrate Easter! All the eggs and new clothes are fun - but the true reason to celebrate is the life and gift of our Savior.
