We celebrated the arrival of Spring on Saturday. We have our Easter Bunny festivities on Saturday instead of Sunday to leave the more reverant observance of the holiday for Easter Sunday.
I debated whether to to cut out the Easter Bunny altogether, I'm not sure how I feel about him. But alas, I decided that he can have a place in our celebrations, with a little tweeking.
The kids were presented their egg hunt baskets filled with a few things that I have been collecting over the past few weeks, little things, these were from us, their parents, imagine that? And on the way out the door they found these little plastic eggs with their names on them filled with goodies--these were left by the Bunny. The kids loved this although it was bad placement by the bunny himself because unsuspecting Shayden stepped right on his plastic egg and cracked it! Whoops!
Then were were off to the first egg hunt. We opted to try the Barnes and Noble variety, a bit of a dissapointment though but they did get a few cute Easter Bunny stories read to them.
We made a quick stop to play with the cousins in Kaysville on the way to our meet our friends (a mission companion of Jonas' and his family).
Then the real treat was an egg hunt on the our friend's parents beautiful property in Mountain Green, UT. Wow, I am always in awe when we go there, it is so peaceful and serene, it feels so heavenly. They raise trout and have created this man made lake. The kids searched for eggs all along this beautiful scene of greenery, it was awesome.
The kids took turns out on the lake in the canoe, which they always love.

How fun! You are doing such fun things with your kids. We have politely requested that the Easter Bunny not visit our house. K and C have never minded until this year...but we still tell them we wrote him and asked him not to come so that we could celebrate Jesus on Easter. We do the egg thing still, just on Saturday like you!
