Easter 2010

Easter this year was a little more exciting for us since Oliver could actually be involved in the activities. After our breakfast, we walked into his room to show him what the Easter bunny had left for him. It was a small basket filled with a car, Sidewalk chalk and eggs. Although it was small and simple, Oliver was all smiles and loved it!




His favorite items were the Easter eggs that made noise when shaken. He wasn't aware that there was candy inside nor does he really know what candy is. When he threw one of the eggs and it popped open, he didn't know what to do with the jelly bean that fell out. We put the candy in his mouth and he smacked his lips and just smiled at us. From then on, he knew what to do with the noisy eggs.



After conference, we headed out to the Bakers for activities and dinner. My mom decorated eggs with the kids and the winner of the best decorated egg won a prize...10 dollars. Kade ended up winning with Mekenzie coming in at a close second.

After decorating eggs, my parents went out to the back yard to hide eggs for all 15 of us. We were only allowed to each find 2 eggs, some of which were filled with money and others that were filled with confetti in which you would smash on top of someones head.

The Bakers ended up winning all the loot. Spencer found the egg with a 50 dollar bill, Ethan Found a 10 and a 1 dollar bill, and Tayten and Luke found a one dollar bill. Lucky boys!

Dinner was as good as always. We had cupcakes that the kids decorated for desert and sat around and talked for a while until it was time to go home.
I loved that Easter fell on conference weekend this year. It was the perfect way to reflect on this holiday and to be reminded of the Savior through the prophet and the leaders of the church. We hope you all had a fantastic Easter weekend.
