On Easter we went to Church. At church we had great speakers that talked about physical death and spiritual death. They included in their talks the reason we celebrate Easter and spoke about Christ's atonement and his death and resurrection. They were great talks. After church we came home and ate pancakes.. Madison and Emily love pancakes. After pancakes they took naps and the Easter bunny came while they were asleep and hid their baskets. 
When they woke up Madison got to look for hers first. She wasn't really interested in looking for it and just cried. Finally I just showed her where it was and then she was the happiest person in the world. She ate as much candy as she could in the 10 minutes it took for Emily to find her basket and us to leave for my parent's house. 
Emily had a hard time finding her basket and we basically gave it away when it came down to it, but she thinks she found it all on her own so that is okay. She was so excited that the Easter bunny knew not to give her any candy with soy in it. (Some of the candy she had gotten on Saturday at my parent's Easter egg hunt had soy in it and she had been bummed that she couldn't eat it. ) After they found their baskets we picked Ben and Sara up(we are so glad they live so close now) and went to our parent's house for dinner and another Easter egg hunt. 
At my parent's we hid all the eggs we had painted as well as some plastic eggs. There were even big eggs for the adults. All the adults went out to help the kids look for eggs. It was kind of funny watching Emily and Madison because they didn't know which way to turn because so many people were telling them what to do. After the egg hunt we all went in and had ham, scalloped potatoes, deviled eggs (from the egg hunt), cornbread, and corn. It was a very yummy dinner. For dessert we even had homemade ice cream. Overall we had a very fun Easter day and had lots of fun spending time with family.

This is Madison and Emily getting ready to go outside. Madison was crying again because she was upset we were making her stand there to take a silly picture.
Emily finding eggs.
Madison was actually really good at finding eggs and would try to reach all the ones that she could.
Here is my parent's helping the kids find eggs.
JJ even got an egg.
Rachel has her big egg and a special egg we made for her that says Rachel loves Tim.

such cute kids! glad you had a happy easter!
How Fun! That totally stinks that Emily can't eat half the candy. I didn't even think to tell the Easter Bunny to hide the baskets, just the eggs.
