Family Easter Fun

First of all, I totally planned the mornings wrong this weekend. We had a 3 day weekend which meant Jordan got to sleep in one day, I got to sleep in one day and then we would both get up, and just have a super productive day. I ended up with my sleep in day yesterday, Easter Sunday and there was no way that I was going to miss seeing the kids excitement which really just meant that I didn't get to sleep in at all.This was the boys on the stair waiting patiently for daddy to get the video camera going so they could see what Easter morning brought, and this is miss Ryley waking up after all of the excitement (easter egg hunt, finding the loot in the baskets, and a yummy eggy breakfast)

This year Easter was the same weekend as General Conference for our church, which I loved it meant being uplifted by our prophets AND being able to be lazy and do things at my pace. We actually hosted Easter dinner at our place this year, which is a first, but it was fun, and I do love spending time with my family. The boys and I made some center pieces last week, by planting some of out food storage wheat (am I the only one who doesn't really know what to do with it?) in some pretty painted pots and sticking some brightly decorated eggs in it.as an after thought, I made little felt napkin rings since I was only putting the utensils and napkins on the table because it was too small to fit all of the food.

(Jordan even helped me craft these!)

I made this kids dress nice, it was Easter Sunday after all. I just loved the boys posing with their new sunglasses.and of course my pretty princess. It is a good thing that she has a few dresses. She started out in a purple one today, but of course made a huge mess of it, even before I managed to get the camera out.
