Easter

Our Easter week/weekend was definitely full! Our first Easter egg hunt was last Thursday at the gym. The nursery workers there did a great job. Our next hunt was Saturday morning at 7am at Publix. They split the kids up by age and then gave them a specific area to look through. We ran into Mary Jones (my girlfriend from church)and she had Jacob and Emma with here. Jack and Emma were two of the four small kids that they put up near the registers. I guess they knew the little kids would need a little help, so they not only made most of the eggs easy to find, they made a ton of them! Sam and Jake were back in the produce department and we let them run on their own. Hindsight 20/20, Mary or I should have stayed with them because there was evidently one little girl with them whose Mother was grabbing up all the eggs. Good grief! The each got only a few, so we gave them some of Jack and Emma's to even things out. Still lots of fun, though! Our next Easter egg hunt was Saturday afternoon at Poppy and Nana's house. The kids had a great time, got lots of candy, and even got to have their picture taken. You'll see alot of their cousins hunting with them. Our final Easter egg hunt was Sunday afternoon after having Easter dinner at my Mom's house. I think Jack found more eggs than Sam and Alex even without a head start! Needless to say, we had a great weekend and now have so much candy, we've decided to add some of it to our year-supply of food storage! The best part - the boys both really understood the importance of Easter and Christ's atonement for us - Sam even figured out for himself that there was a connection/comparison between Jesus and the lion in "Chronicles of Narnia." Darn smart kid we've got!
