Easter 2009

We made rice krispy treats and dipped them in chocolate (mint & milk) and then covered them in sprinkles. Boy were they tasty!!



This year we painted Easter eggs. Lots of fun and very messy :)






On Saturday, we went to the Jame's Annual Easter Egg Hunt. The kids had a great time. Gabe followed his friend Shane around the whole time. We had to keep a watch on them for fear that they might take the plunge into the cold swimming pool. They had some fun swings that the kids loved playing on too. Also, the food was fantastic! Thanks for a great party :)
Afterwards, Steve took the girls to see the new Hannah Montana movie. He actually liked it! The girls cannot stop singing the songs. The Easter Bunny came on Saturday. The girls got new dresses and CD's (Hannah Montana the Movie & Jonas Brothers). Kyle got new jeans and an Itunes gift card. Gabe got a new church shirt and Tonka truck pulling motorcycles. Biv got a pop up toy. ....oh and don't forget alllll the candy!


This is my attempt at a picture before church. As you can see, it was a complete failure!! Seriously...anyone have any tips to get 5 kids to smile at the same time? Anyone...anyone?
We had the Crompton's and the White's over for Easter dinner. It was lots of fun and very chaotic!! Gotta love it :) Unfortunately, I didn't get any good pictures from that! Friends are the next best thing to family! We love you guys!
I am so grateful for the opportunity that we have to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ. What an amazing example He is to me. I love the gospel with all my heart!
Happy Easter Everyone!

Ok the rice krispie's dipping and rolling in yummy sprinkles is a very cute idea! I'm going to have to do that nex year!!! Your kids are getting so big and they are so cute, and Kyle is very handsome I bet he is a heart breaker already!

Aside from mine, you have some of the most beautiful children! They look gorgeous in their Easter clothes!

I have never thought to color Easter eggs with a paintbrush! We draw on them with crayons and then use the dye kit - the crayon stays on and looks cool. I'll try paintbrushes next time!

I did get all of our kids to smile at the same time - once. (But that's only 3 of them.) I'm not sure I'd recommend the method though. The kids kept saying "cheese" when I told them to but I don't like the fake smiles. So one time I threw in "say poop!" I got the best smiles ever. I'm sure it would lose its effect after the first time. =o) And then there's the appropriateness issue....

What a busy Easter! And as for the kids, I choose to threaten my kids if they all don't smile, but then, I only have three. Maybe you could bribe them with money!
