Our Family: Easter

We did things a little bit differently this year. Since we were at Ella's ballroom competition most of the morning I took the kids to an afternoon Easter Egg hunt while Dustin went to a baptism for a young man in our ward.

We had to wake Lincoln up from his nap which was kinda sad but he was ok after he found out the eggs had a treat in them. This was his first egg hunt but he caught the hang of it pretty well.

Ella scored the biggest. She took my advice to run to the middle and work your way out instead of starting at the front with the rest of the kids. Molly came out with about 3 eggs and Alissa didn't get as single one. This is really the first time the little girls have been to a competitive Easter Egg hunt so it was a big overwhelming I think. If Alissa hadn't been so concerned I'm sure Molly would have went to town picking up eggs. She was being a good sister though which I am glad for. One sweet little boy walked by and asked why Alissa was crying. I told him she didn't get any eggs. He sat thinking for a few seconds and reached inside his bag with probably 3 eggs total and handed her one. My heart just swelled. I wanted to go find that good boy's mom and dad and tell them what a kind offer he just made my sad girl. She immediately wiped her tears and was over it.

Sunday morning we had Easter bunny fun with baskets and hidden eggs. Lincoln wasted no time with the basket and started grabbing those eggs he knew were so full of candy. He started shaking he was so excited.

You can see by that dripping colorful drool what a happy boy he was. We had a good time laughing at him.

We had bunny pancakes for breakfast.

And I had to take a picture of this because I didn't appreciate the goodness of these girls organizing things until I had Lincoln. They set things just right and he will crash them all down.

I was lucky to get a picture of these guys before church because Dustin had to leave early.

But after 10 shots we finally got one that was pretty good. The girls even got new dresses this year which hasn't happened for a lot of years so that was fun

After church we went to grandma Debbie and grandpa Jeff's house for our annual egg hunt there. Each age group of kids got to do their own little hunt. The 5 year old girls...
