Easter time

We had a great Easter this year at home and enjoying General Conference. Chris took the girls to the Easter Pageant on the Mesa Temple grounds Friday night. They all enjoyed it, although the report was that everyone was cold and that they wished they could see better (gotta fix that for next year!). I decided it was too late of a night for Adam, so he went to bed while I prepared for the weekend. Saturday morning we introduced the girls to the General Conference "quiet zone." We declared the family room the quiet zone where they could do quiet activities and listen to

Conference. Otherwise they were invited to leave to go to the play room; however, they were required to be in the quiet zone for President Monson. Overall, I think we enjoyed Conference.

Saturday, after the second session of Conference, we went to Chris' grandparent's house for an Easter egg hunt.

There were sections in the backyard for different age groups, so that the big kids didn't take all the eggs from the little kids. Brock and Adam loved finding the eggs (over and over again...we would take some out of their baskets and re-hide them to keep the game going while the big kids finished).

(Note the cute bunny on Adam's back...thanks Amy for sharing!)

After the hunt, the kids had to unscramble word strips found inside their eggs to receive the final hunt prize. The kids loved it! And the best part....no worries about possibly missing an egg in the yard full of candy that had to be found!

Sunday morning, the Easter bunny felt that the kids had already had an Easter egg hunt, so the Easter bunny put all the presents and candy into each child's basket. The Easter bunny thought it was a good idea...the kids thought they needed another Easter egg hunt. Oh well, you don't win them all! Although the sadness over the Easter bunny being lazy was lost when presents were opened. All was well again.

I think Adam's favorite part about Easter this year is that he thinks Easter eggs are balls, which are his favorite thing. In fact, he would see one and call it a ball. Gotta love boys!

Sunday's General Conference was great. The quiet zone was a little hard to enforce after 8 hours on Conference....As you will see, Megan is under the table with her legs in the air, and as I'm sure we all know our cute little Megan, there was probably no sense of quiet about that!Adam was his usual cuteness.

After Conference was finished, we went to Chris' grandparent's again for a wonderful Easter feast! All in all, a great weekend filled with fun and thoughts on our Savior.
