Close Your Eyes As You Walk Out The Door.

We have church at 9am, I get of work on Saturday nights at 2am, The Easter Bunny got done with everything about 5am. Therefore on Easter morning we woke up in just enough time to get to church dressed and ready to go. I am the queen of strange when it comes to holidays. I don't think that my kids (or as of right now kid) should see what he got, under the tree, in his Easter basket, for his birthday, before it is time to open it and really look at everything so poor Kashton got ushered out of the house Easter morning with his eyes covered wondering what was going on. Church on Easter Sunday was wonderful as always and I was excited for Kashton to get home and see all the wonderful things that the Easter Bunny had stayed up all night doing.

As always Kashton was spoiled and got way more than any kid needs in his Easter basket. Yet again another strange quality that I have during any holiday. Over giving. The Easter Bunny left each of us a new Wii game along with the candy that we got in our Easter baskets and that he lead to many days of fun since.

The Easter bunny always leaves a trail of Jelly Beans from our doors to our Easter baskets in our house. Just in case you had any question which basket is yours he lets you know with a trail leading strait to it. Kashton ate almost the whole trail of Jelly Beans by the time we left for an Easter get together at his GG and Papa's and you could tell.

The Easter bunny also hid candy filled eggs all over the living room in slightly harder places than he hid them last year. Kashton ran around finding every egg and shaking it to see if he could figure out what was inside.

The dinner at GG and Papa's was fun filled (except for the homework that I spent most of the time doing). Mike and I brought Just Dance II and we all had fun dancing around and laughing at each other. I got the highest score out of everyone there because I am pretty cool like that.

Oh and I even cooked some cupcakes for the occasion. I never make anything for any occasion so this was a pretty big deal for me. They even turned out delicious and somewhat cute.

What Color Does That Make The Eggs?

Every year since Kashton was born we have colored Easter Eggs. Every year he is completely uninterested in the proceedings. This year, however, he was very intense about the way his eggs turned out. So I let him have as much reign over the eggs as my inner Cheryl Bishop would allow. It turned out to be a great time.

Every time he would drop an egg in Kashton would ask "What color will that one be?" He would watch the whole time to egg was in the dye hoping to see it work its magic.



Both Mike and I took turns coloring eggs and being the photographer, so we actually got some pictures of me doing this activity. ;)

These are some of the end products. We each made one with our name on it and decided which color it should be dyed. We also made a few dedicated to the Thunder as they had just started to play in the NBA Finals.

Neighborhood Block Party

During the week of Easter I tried to do as much with Kashton as my school schedual would allow. I still had a lot to do the week of Easter but I did not want to let Kashton down. The first thing we did to celebrate the holiday was head to a block party at the park down the street.

Before we left the house I wanted a picture of the two of us because we never get pictures together. We sure do love each other.

He did really well on the relay course. He even did okay at waiting in line for the relay course. After making it to the top of the "rock wall" he slid down the big slide with glee.

This is the second time we have gone to a block party at this park and both times he had to have a spiderman face. Superman with a Spiderman face, can you tell that he really likes super heroes?

We waited in line for a balloon animal for a good 45 mins. I was ready to leave but even after waiting this whole time Kashton was excited and laughed the whole time the clown made his sword.

Easter Egg Hunt

I was so worried that we would not get an Easter Egg hunt in this year. Thank goodness for the wonderful women in my ward who got all the kids together for a hunt a few weeks before Easter. It was much more fun than the Easter Egg hunt that we did the year before where Kashton did not get any eggs at all. He was very good at sharing and helped his friends who did not have any eggs find the rest of them. I was so proud of him.

We figured out while we were there that all of these kids are going to graduate together. They are going to be such a cute graduating class.

Here are the kids getting ready for the egg hunt. They were actually pretty good at waiting for the eggs to be hidden and everyone to get pictures and get ready, especially with how young they all are. I think there was not a kid there over the age of 5.
