Easter Sunday

The kids had a good Easter. Kate loved it and Tagg got the hang of things by the end of the day. We started off with a Easter egg hunt with out play group. The kids loved it!! There were so many kids at the egg hunt it was fun to see them all get so excited. Then on the following Saturday my family had a party. We went over to my cousins house to enjoy yummy food with alot of people we love.
After dinner all the kids got to color eggs. They loved that part. kate was very particular about what color what egg was. She put stickers all over her eggs and then wrote on them for everybody. Tagg was only interested in throwing them!! He had fun but after about three broken eggs all over Tagg got to enjoy the rest of the egg coloring with daddy in the house playing ball. He loved that tough.!!! Then after egg coloring and food the kids had a massive egg hunt upstairs. My dad filled about 200 eggs (there may have been more) and my cousins brought some other eggs and fun things and we hid them. There were only about 8 kids finding all those eggs. Kate and Tagg got so many eggs that the Easter bunny did not have to bring more he just hid the ones they already had!! It was a lot of fun spending the day with family.

On Easter Sunday the kids woke up to fun surprises. They both got some underwear and socks and one toy. Kate got a new Easter dress to wear to church. We sat down and told them the meaning of Easter and what it represents. Kate got little tidbits here and there but Tagg was to distracted from the candy he knew was on top of the fridge. It is such a big responsibility we have of teaching our children about the church. The example we have to set for them just blows my mind. Heavenly Father must have complete trust in us that we will teach his children to come home to him!!! I just feel blessed that he has entrusted me and Jake with the two wonderful children that we have.
