Easter

We never did Easter basket growing up so this was a first for me, but since my family and especially children are always in need of some practical things, I thought it would be a fun excuse to get them some little gifts, and enjoy surprising them. First and foremost though, we REALLY wanted our children to know the meaning of Easter and why it is such an important day. We thoroughly explained Easter and the story of the Savior and that just like Santa coming because it's Christ's birthday party, the Easter bunny came because he was celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. That being said; the Easter bunny pooped all over our house. He started outside the boys bedroom, went down the stairs, would around the house, and eventually made two trails for the boys to follow to find their baskets.

He had left them each a puzzle, marshmallow gun, toothbrush, bubbles, chocolate bunny (courtesy of the neighbor), silly straws, a few eggs with candy, one with money, and a piggy bank for Drake and ball for Carson.

Looks like I caught the Easter Bunny! Don't mind the handkerchief around my head - we had the Young Women's fundraiser on Saturday night (well; more like all day for those of us that were in charge) and I was going for the whole girls camp look.

*By the way, the rabbit poop was Raisinets. You should have seen Carson's expression when Dave and I started eating the "poop"...
