Well Easter is such a wonderful time of year! Our little bunch of spring flowers had a great time finding eggs that the Easter Bunny spent a lot of time hiding the night before, hunting for their Easter Bunny Baskets and generally making sure that there were equal amounts of candy in everyone's little candy containers! Aside from the commercial activities, Sunday morning was filled with getting everyone dressed for church-a feat that not even the Easter Bunny with his little magic Easter wand could accomplish before 12:30 p.m.! We were able to get everyone dressed and the first one down the stairs was Briana-Pretty in pink-and showing off her new dress for her Daddy! She twirled and spun and danced and curtsied like a true Princess (the Disney Princess movies have been studied in depth-to make sure she got the curtsy right!) She was pretty cute-and her Daddy just melted! Can we say-"wrapped around someone's little finger?" They were so sweet dancing in the livingroom-it just gave me visions of the two of them at her wedding! Yes-I got a little teary-eyed!
After getting my little men dressed-we all came downstairs to take a few pictures, before spilled juice or half chewed, melted chocolate bunnies became part of the decor! It was so great to see them all three so cute and happy-like little cherubs waiting to explode during church!
I had to take a picture of our little Bubbers-he is just so happy-it's impossible to walk by him and not take his picture (but then again- I am his mother!) Don't you just want to pull his little chubby cheeks?!
We did finally talk about the actual reason for celebrating Easter and watched Testament-which is so wonderful-but a little confusing for small children-Jackson kept asking if the people were Lamanites or Nephites because "they all had the same clothes on and no shoes!" He was very concerned about their missing clothes and shoes and made sure to tell me "that they would be in trouble with heir mommies if they didn't get dressed, because heavenly father wants us to wear clothes!" The Book of Mormon through the eyes of a child-I bet it's pretty confusing!
At the end of the day-when Jeff and I were laying on the couch, eating leftover ham and staring at something on T.V., we realized that the Easter Bunny had brought a bag of M&M's that we hadn't even opened yet-you can guess that they were gone within minutes-sugar high wore off and I fell asleep on the couch holding my blanket over my head, just in case my children came looking for me-I'd be hidden and the couch would just look a little lumpy (like that ever works-they have Mommy under the blanket radar!).
All in all-it was a lovely Easter Sunday!
