Easter 2014

We enjoyed a wonderful Easter weekend together.  On Friday Emily helped me fill some of the Easter eggs for our ward Easter egg hunt.  She would help me put the jelly beans in the eggs and then exclaim, "Thank you!"  For about 2 hours Emily was entertained with breaking the eggs open to fill, filling them, and putting them in the basket.  I loved sharing a service project with her.

On Saturday, Emily continued to help me with the Easter egg hunt.  Since the young women were in charge, Emily helped me put the eggs out on the field before the other children arrived.  She loved dropping the eggs everywhere on the lawn.  I guess you could say she was making a mess with permission.  It wasn't until the very end did she discover the sweet treats in the eggs!  Yummy!

On Easter morning the Easter Bunny left some goodies for us.  Nelson got a new swimsuit, Emily a new stroller that she found a few days early, Baby Girl a monkey, and me a day date with my family.  It was a "egg"cellent Easter.

After Emily went to bed Nelson and I dyed some eggs together.  We weren't sure if Emily would dye the eggs or herself, so we did it just the two of us.  Nelson made some great colors!
