Easter 2010

In our family we celebrate Easter Saturday and Easter Sunday as two different holidays-kind of.

Basically on Saturday we do all of the worldly fun stuff, and on Sunday we do all of the great spiritual stuff.

Before Easter we went to an Easter Egg Dive for the first time. I had been wanting to go to one of these and Jasmine had a great time. Shayden didn't make it in time, but he still got to swim.

We also went with some friends to another Ginormous egg hunt at This is the Place Monument. Not going to do that again! The kids were lucky enough to get one or two eggs, there were so many people.

On Easter Saturday we went to an egg hunt at these gardens in Salt Lake. The kids had a fun time and got a lot of candy. The funny thing is that they were making everyone wait in this line to get their faces painted in order to hunt. To which my kids were like "lame" because, well, the magic gets lost a bit when your face is painted 3 times per week. :)

Then come to find out they were using this crappy craft paint on kids' faces. Parents Beware!

In the end the let everyone choose, and the kids had fun. Taye was sleeping in the car so Jonas stayed with him.

Then on Saturday night we always make "Resurrection Cookies" and leave them in the oven until morning. I love this tradition, especially as the kids are growing up and remembering more, and participating more too. This is Sunday morning:

On Easter we always have dinner with cousins of course. All of the older cousins always do an Easter Egg hunt for the younger ones, with the candy that they got the day before. It is more of an "Easter Saturday" event, but I let it slide because it's just so darn sweet of them.

Even Taye got to participate with the help of cousin Kiki!

And now that this post is done, I realize that I didn't even get one picture of the kids in their Easter clothes...what did they wear again??? It's a hazard of blogging months behind.
And I am also reminded that I HATE blogger!!! How do you make long posts like this with tons of pictures without it taking an Eternity??? Not to mention that huge gap a the beginning and all of those side margins of words...yuck! I think I have some big plans for this blog coming soon, and it involves moving to Wordpress....can't wait...so stay tuned!
