It seems like we did a lot more for Easter this year than we usually do. Maybe it's just because Ainsley is a little older now and she can actually participate more in things. Saturday night we got all of our eggs dyed (I only have 5 that still need eaten!) . The Easter bunny came and stuffed the kids baskets full of way to much candy. He then hid Owen's next to the TV and Ainsley's underneath the kitchen table. Are we the only family who the Easter bunny does that for? Owen got Peter Pan in his basket, mostly because what do you give a kid that can't eat, and this way Owen finally has something that Ains wants to use instead of the other way around.
The highlight of Owen's morning was playing with his cellophane wrap, and Ainsley's was getting all of her candy along with her Wendy action figure. The highlight of John and I's morning was when Ainsley asked to eat some "toots" (she was referring to peeps). The highlight of my Easter was listening to John try to figure out why we weren't supposed to eat pork on Easter Sunday. He was claiming that we eat ham on Easter because you shouldn't eat pork. It took him a while to realize how ridiculous he sounded.
Our easter baskets were always hidden with a string tied to them. It was strung all over the yard (and under cars, over fences, and sometimes houses) then we followed the string to find the basket. You have to make them work a little.
"There is something eternal in the very nature of writing, as is so graphically illustrated by the scriptures themselves. In a very real sense our properly written histories are a very important part of our family scripture and become a great source of spiritual strength to us and to our posterity." -- John H, Groberg

Your kids are cute! How old are they?
Peeps are evil and are going to take over the world.
