A Busy Easter Bunny

The Easter Bunny visited our kids 3 TIMES this year. Only Will believes in the Easter Bunny (Ashton and Matthew figured out the truth and told Katie and Calvin is too little to care about anything other than lots of candy.) But their unbelief didn't stop them from having multiple Easter celebrations.

Easter #1: Since Jeremy and I knew we were spending Easter in England we decided to have a family Easter celebration for Family Home Evening one Monday. While Jeremy and the kids finished up dinner, I assembled and hid the Easter baskets. Then we had them wait on the stairs until we said go and they could go search for their baskets. Notice how Calvin is already disgusting, but happy? He sneeked down early and ate a bunch of stuff from his basket.

Realizing that their baskets aren't just laid out like their presents on Christmas and they have to go find them.

Easter #2: The Saturday before we left, Cox cousins came down from Lehi, so we had an Easter egg hunt that day.

Calvin was a little guy last Easter so this is the first time he could really participate in an Easter egg hunt

After the party we had to go to the farm so the boys could ride the new Kubota

Calvin was having so much fun exploring the farm.

Easter #3: I have no pictures of the third Easter (the actual one) because I was in England. But, they were so, so spoiled. We left them each with a card game, some candy, a shirt, and a church outfit. I thought this was plenty generous since they had already gotten a book, a coloring/activity book, and gardening tools. But then my mom saw what their cousins would be getting; and it was just so, so, so much more than what we left for our kids that she went to Wal-Mart and bought them another shirt, bubbles, slime, more candy, and couple of other things. Needless to say... they made a haul!

Hopefully, they don't think that this is the norm and except so much from Easter next year! Needless to say they were some happy kids!
