I can't believe that Easter has already come and gone!  I'm a little late in updating the blog, but I wanted to be sure to include the pics of the kids.  The kids enjoyed all of the Easter egg hunts.  Lily loved finding the eggs and putting them in her basket.  It was so funny - she would put an egg in her basket and then take it out..and then put it back in again.  She wasn't aware that there was anything in the eggs.  Collin, on the other hand, was very aware of the candy inside of them.  They were so cute all dressed up and scrambling for their eggs.  We went to church on Easter Sunday and then over to Mimi and Grandad's house later that day.  One of my favorite memories of Easter this year was to hear Collin tell the story of Easter and how Jesus died for us and now looks after us in heaven.

My little Easter bunnies...

We started off the Easter weekend with the kids getting their pictures taken with the Easter bunny.  I had to bribe Collin with a "surprise" to sit next to the bunny and smile.  He did what he was told and then wanted to know what his "surprise" was.  I had no clue what it was going to be, so we took a little walk through the mall.  Anyone with more than one child knows that this is no easy task.  I decided to buy him a small fruit smoothie which he sucked down in about 2 minutes.  The pictures turned out cute.  I didn't get any with my camera because I was too busy being the goofy mom trying to get my kids attention to look towards the camera.  Don't laugh...we've all been there: )  

Thursday, we went to Collin's Spring Fling that his school put on.  They had bounce houses, a petting zoo, rock climbing, train rides and much more.  Collin had a blast collecting all of his eggs during the egg hunt.  We went to another event on Saturday that the church put on which was filled with a lot of the same activities.  We went to church on Sunday morning and then to Aunt Stacie and Uncle Craig's house for dinner later that evening.  It was a busy weekend, but very enjoyable!
