Easter

Our fun Easter weekend!!!!

We started early Saturday morning at the annual West Haven Easter Egg hunt. Jake and Coco both scored with candy. (I got in trouble for helping Courtney pick up eggs.. oops!)

Saturday afternoon we headed over to my Mom's house for another fun Easter Egg hunt which included candy, confetti, money and gift cards. Thanks Mom & Dad!

Here is my family along with my Aunt Bev, Uncle Richard, cousin Camellia and her new hubby Doug. They came down from Canada for General Conference and a visit. (NO, Scott and I weren't mad at each other, we didn't realize we weren't standing next to each other until after the picture was taken). Too funny!

(My Aunt Sharon & Uncle Jim were also there but they were taking the picture.)

During the Priesthood session, the girls and our kids made bunny cookies. I saw these bunny cookies on one of my friends blogs and I have to say hers were way cuter, most of our cookies looked like mice or cats. LOL! But they were still fun to make and they tasted delicious.

It was a blast having the Smith family come for a visit. Thank you for the fun talks and the Canadian Corn Pops!!

Easter morning Court and Jake woke up with a piece of string tied to each of their bedroom doors. They followed the string throughout the house to find their Easter Baskets. Courtney found her Easter basket in the dryer and Jake found his in the oven. Our Easter Bunny is so clever and fun. LOL!!!

Our Easter Bunny refused to give more candy to Jake and Coco and instead put toys in their Easter Baskets. Again, our Easter Bunny is so smart. LOL!!

Coco and Jake looked so cute watching Conference. They had a lot of fun with their conference coloring books and their conference Bingo. Jake thought it was fun watching "church" in his pajamas.

I couldn't find Courtney's shoes and was in a huge rush so this is what she ended up wearing all day Sunday. So pretty!!

My cute family.

We had another fun Easter Egg hunt at Scott's parents home on Easter Sunday.

(Don't tell my kids this... but Scott's Mom asked us to bring candy for the Cole Easter Egg hunt... Instead of buying more candy, I stole some of Jake and Court's candy from their Easter baskets when they were sleeping. The following day, they got back all of their stolen candy at the Easter Egg hunt. It was a win, win situation for everyone. I saved money on candy, my kids didn't get more candy and in the end, Jake and Court didn't even notice the "missing candy". I know... I'm awful!!)

I'm so thankful that we were able to spend time with both our families this Easter weekend and I feel blessed for the opportunity to listen and be taught by our Prophet and Apostles at this special time of year. I'm grateful for the sacrifice and love our Savior has given me and still gives me. It's truly the greatest gift knowing that I can be with my family forever.

Happy Easter!!
