Easter

We had a great Easter this year!!!! We started the celebrations a weekend early just so we could fit it all in!!! Our friends invited us over for brunch and an Easter egg hunt. The kids had a great time, and our tummies wear full. Then that afternoon we went to another Easter egg hunt at our community center. The kids made there bunny bags to put there treats in first, and then headed outside to find the treats. They had scattered chocolate eggs all over the park and everyone just went crazy finding them all. The kids ended the day quite happy, and excited for Easter!! Here is a picture of them all read to go egg hunting!!!!

On the actual Easter weekend we took in a few different events too!!!! The Easter bunny came to our house and dropped of some treats, toys and Easter outfits. Steele was sleeping when the Easter bunny came, and I didn't get a picture of him once he woke up!!!! Her is a picture of the kids once they had already emptied their basket. Silly mommy forgot to take a picture before!!!!

Anyways, we also headed down to visit family and did a few Easter activities with them too!!! We went and spent an evening in Claresholm to visit Grandma and Grandpa Mulholland. Then on Saturday we headed to Fort Macleod for and egg hunt, egg dieing, and a family dinner. When we got to Fort MacLeod the wind was howling. Big surprise right?? I seriously don't know how I grew up there. If we think the wind is bad in Calgary you have to three times it for Fort Macleod!!!!

So the egg hunt was at the Fort and the kids were given a sticker and suppose to find the matching egg with that sticker on. It was so freezing cold and windy that the kids did not even want to look. I ended up finding Cohen and Britlynn's fairly quick. They went and got there treat bag, and instantly wanted to go back to the van to get warm. Dave took all three kids back to the van and I tried to find Steele's egg without any luck. I eventually got to cold and gave up!!!! Steele didn't know the difference though!!! We were just all glad to be out of the wind, and headed out to Grandma and Grandpa Poettckers.

Half of the cousins were there so the kids had a fun time playing together. The kids dyed eggs, decorated a bunny house, and got some Easter treats!!! Here is a picture of them with the bunny house that they so proudly decorated, got a picture taken , and then ripped it to pieces, and ate most of it throughout the afternoon!!!! The kids always look forward to being able to visit with their cousins. They had a fun afternoon playing!!!!!!

I just had to put this picture of Steele in the van because he is just soooooooooo cute!!!!! He loves to have his puppy dog!!!! If he has some sort of stuffed animal to hold and cuddle he is a happy boy!!!!

We came back to Calgary Saturday night, and were able to enjoy watching conference at home on Sunday. The kids sat and listened quite well. We just gave them a pile of candy to munch on and they were set!!!! I really enjoy hearing all the talks, and all the different messages!!! You always walk away feeling a little better, and having a more positive outlook. I love the gospel!!!

Anyways by the end of the weekend we were all eastered out!!! We had a great visit with family, enjoy lots of fun activities, were spiritually uplifted, and now have a big pile of Easter candy that hopefully I don't eat all by myself!!!!!
