Easter Weekend

I love Easter.  I love the accompany Spring weather and flower.  I love the adorable Easter Bunny and Baby Chicks.  I love all the Easter Egg Hunts.   I love Cadbury eggs.   I love how everyone acts a little more Christ-like.  I love the true significance of Easter.  I love feeling Christ Love through His Atonement & Resurrection.    

Leif was fortunate to have Easter weekend off.   It was so pleasant having him home so we could teach our kids together and continue Holiday traditions.  Friday night we went to an Easter Egg Hunt at Clearwater Beach.  The twins LOVE  hunting for eggs, and are so thrilled about each egg they find.  After the hunt we walked over to Pier 60 and got to witness "Sunset on the Pier" for the first time since living in Florida.  The pier had many street performers, music, vender's, and a beautiful SUNSET.

Saturday morning the twins were woken up at 6:30 so they could go to an Egg Hunt at Publix Grocery Store.  This is my favorite egg hunt of the year because they have great candy, it is early, it's not crowded, kids find money and coupons in eggs, and after the hunt you can grocery shop as one of the only customers.  There were only 7 kids in the twins' age group... so we brought home a lot of candy., along with $4.50 in quarters.

After our adventure at Publix we headed home for breakfast and then back out for a 10:00 Easter Egg Hunt.  This hunt was at a nearby community center in Bellleair.  And it was a truly great time. The city had an egg-hunt, touch-a-truck, games, bounce houses, egg dying, the Easter Bunny, and a hot-dog lunch.  We all had a great morning.  And again, the kids got lots of candy for their Mommy and Daddy.

We came home to unload our baskets and then put them up again for the Easter Bunny. We told Micah & Savannah that the Easter Bunny was going to come when they were sleeping.  AND after they woke up we could find Easter eggs, and baskets (again).  So they quickly went to sleep while I let the Easter Bunny in the house.  Everyone did find their baskets and enjoyed the Bunny's Gifts.
