Easter!!!

Taelin totally loved Easter this year! We went to Macey's Grocery store on Friday and had our nose painted and bunny ears made and pictures taken with the Easter Bunny.  Taelin totally loved it. Brick loved getting his face painted too! They had a mirror for him to look into and he loved it. Brick however wouldn't let go of Dad's arm and was whimpering, totally scared of the Easter Bunny!  Then we walked around the store finding different animal signs.  When you find one, you are supposed to tell the Macey's worker what sound the animal makes to get an egg.  Taelin was SHY!???  Where did this come from??? little miss talk your ear off!  SHY is totally out of her character. She is adorable! 

Saturday, we went to Mountain View High School for their Egg Hunt! Aunt Maile and Uncle Michael met us there to share in the excitement! It was fun to be there, but it was FREEZING! When they finally said said go! All of the kids AND PARENTS ran out onto the field and the PARENTS filled their kids baskets with eggs.  Taelin didn't get one Egg.  : ( Bummer...   I guess Mountain View has really good prizes like bikes etc... so the parents are all for filling their kids baskets...  There were kids younger than Taelin that had a full basket of eggs.  Oh well we had a good time and Taelin was perfectly happy with her Salt Water Taffy! 
   Then it was onto the Provo Easter Egg Hunt! This one is always a little more fun! It isn't as crowded! They have ages 2 and under in one area and older kids in another area so the little kids are more likely to get eggs.  Maile and Michale Hunted with Brick and I went with Taelin.  It was a blast we ran for the golden egg... but once again a parent grabbed it and put it in their kid's basket about a yard ahead of us! Oh well, we immediately switched course and Taelin began to pick up the eggs and put them in her basket!  It was FREEZING and a BLAST! We hurried and left.  At home we made Waffles and Whipped Cream and Sausage and had Strawberries and Orange Juice! Michael and Maile joined us for breakfast too! It is always good to spend time with family! Sooo fun!!! 

   After Breakfast we went to pick up Grandma Bitter and headed out to Uncle Jerry's house for his Easter Lunch and Hunt!  Jerry and Laurie have their very own Chickens... They lay eggs for them and everything it was really neat to see.  They had a few baby chicks in their house and Taelin and Brick couldn't get enough of them.  Brick kept hanging on to the edge of the Tub they were in and trying to grab one if not get in with them.  They were sooo cute!  Cheep Cheep ...  The food was great and the Hunt was a blast!  They have a huge yard and had eggs everywhere....  Some in plain sight and others were hidden under the dead grass, plants, etc...  Taelin and Brick had a great time looking for them.  By now the weather was quite nice! Which was a plus! Taelin didn't find the GOLDEN Egg that is full of money! But she did find six eggs that had nickles in them! She was so delighted to put the money in her very own piggy bank! Then finally we headed home to put the kids down for their naps and for me to listen to conference while I finished getting dinner ready!
  While Danny was at Priesthood session.  I went to Grandma Bitters and sewed these cute Crayon holders. That are made of felt! I made a Crayon or Pencil holder for Taelin to use at Church and a Car one for Brick.  Now I just have to buy him some Hot Wheels or barrow some from Grandma Robertson's house. 

  

Sunday Easter Morning was a blast! Taelin came and sat with us in bed at about 8 and then brick woke up and we just played in bed for a while (the kids love playing with Daddy!) Then Taelin remembered the Easter Bunny was supposed to come, and went looking for her basket! She was sooo excited! She got a new Aurora Cell phone and a egg cup with a straw and a princess kite etc.... she loved it. 

Brick also loved his basket he got a golfing set with three balls and clubs he has been playing with it all day.  He also got a new Binky since he lost one at the store the other day!  Candy Candy Candy!  The Kids, Mom and Dad have all had their fare share today! Now it is time for Mom to be good! : )  (and Not eat anymore).

Today the kids did pretty good at doing their own activities so that mom and dad could watch conference.  It was a great day/weekend.  Holidays are so much more exciting with kids.  : )  I love Brick and Taelin soo much and can't believe how fast they are growing up! It's amazing how they change from day to day.  Taelin always wakes up with something new to say or do.  I look at them both and it feels like they were just infants in my arms days ago!   Thanks for reading and We hope that you also had a great Holiday weekend!

  We also got to go to the Knicks VS Jazz game! Thanks Auntie! We had a blast and were on the fifth row!!!  Great seats! One of the people we sat next to has been a season ticket holder for 30 plus years in the same seat! He was great to sit next to!
