Easter and General Conference!

We had a really fun General Conference this year. We took up some of my brother's family tradtions of treats and surprises. Aden colored a conference coloring book that have online and the boys got lots of fun little things. I would explain to Aden in simple terms what they were talking about and he would say, "Oh,ya!" Sunday we were able to have the Geddes' over for some Easter egg coloring and egg hunt. It was Clay's first time and they really had fun. :) Look at these creative eggs.



I keep listening to the talks and Aden has requested over and over, "Watch Conference" so he will sit and watch the speaker for a while without being bored.


This is the first time in my life I think...that we have celebrated the Easter Bunny on Sunday. We did it this way because Eric was off to work before the kids woke on Saturday and we all wanted to celebrate together.

Papa got a puzzle for his Conference surprise and Aden really wanted to help. It was an adult one though so Aden would just mess it up or loose the pieces. We told him we would ask the Easter bunny to bring him one to play with. He made the Easter bunny a drawing and left some carrots for him to nibble. I asked him "Aden what should we leave the Easter Bunny to say thank you for our surprises?" Aden said,"Surprises". So that is what we left him. :)



Aden got 10 things of play dough for Easter. We have 2 left because he plays with them for so long they dry out, or he takes them around the house to play with them and forgets where they are...oh or he throws them behind the couch and Mom is too lazy to pull the couch out again and get it.

Carter's pajama's aren't buttoned because it's not worth the fight to get him to hold still that long.




Look at this little boy. Only 8 months old and he is playing with his horse correctly. He also likes to hold toy cars and crawl with them as they drive across the floor. We will have to get a video.




This was the weekend I had the cold/flu so we didn't make it to church. But we still had a good Easter and are so Grateful for our SAVIOR and our Father in Heaven.
