EGGIE WAYGIE sat in the fridge,
EGGIE WAYGIE was hard boiled. . . just a tidge.


All the children and parents in tow,
colored and decorated them, wow quite the show!!


At last, at last we were ready to race,
up and down the big hill alas, we did chase.















Issac ran fastest kicking his egg,
Abbi ran carefully, not wanting to hurt her leg.




Avries big concern was eggs cracking apart,
she had to protect them, or it would break her heart.








We rolled and we ran, some of us slow,
Avrie held tight and wouldn't let go.
They bounced and they shattered,
we all got a laugh.



Oh, what a great day we all had on Easters Behaf!!!!

HAPPY HAPPY EASTER!!

HAPPY EASTER.. .. . Everyone!!
Another Easter has come and gone for our family and it truly was a fun day for all. We had a prerun for the egg hunting in Idaho Falls with aunt Victoria and Matthew. She brought a bunch of eggs and little toys that we hide for the children to find. Just a little jump start for the real egg run to come.
The kids woke up as usual around 7am and found that the easter bunny had visited, buuuut we had to wait till 1pm till dad got home from work. As you can imagine this was torture for the kids. We tried to keep busy with card games and coloring books they got as part of the easter basket. We also went to listen to grandma sing in the church choir, a special easter number. We came home and the kids were seriously ready to find their eggs. Uncle Zach and Sara came, and finally after what seemed like FOREVER, dad pulled up the drive. Yehhhh!!
Avrie is soo exited, uncle Zach is here, but we are still waiting for daddy!!!



Don't they look soooo bored, or just tired of waiting for their chance to fun for those easter eggs.




Here we go.... ready set...... find the easter eggs!!!!

Avrie did the pre-scope out, she kept secretly looking for the eggs before we actually started. But, of course when we actually started she followed the other kids to where they were going. We had to coach her to go opposite and look in her own area. We all had fun! All the kids got lots of candy and treats. Hank had fun chasing the eggs as well, he couldn't figure out that there was something inside.




It's always fun to watch the kids look for eggs, they watch what we do and follow our eyes, its like they think we know something. . . .hmmmm. I think next year that easter bunny is going to have to find a new strategy!! It was rather funny the chocolate bunnies were in the sun enough that they actually started melting, we had to put them in the fridge.

Avrie was a little concerned when Uncle Zach told her he ran over the Easter Bunny on his way over. She sat and puzzled just a second and then she said to him, "you're just teasing right???"
