Easter 2012

We had a great Easter this year. With the exception of Tod having to work. The boys made our first traditional Easter cake, dyed eggs, did the Easter egg hunt, got baskets full of candy and some new sweatshirts, these magnet super hero things from Grandma and Grandpa Jenkins, and went to church. Here are some pictures of the holiday weekend!


Ready for church! I've been trying to teach them the real reason we celebrate Easter. That the Savior was resurrected. But that led to a lot more questions I wasn't sure how to explain. But at least we talked about it! :)
Carson's Batman Lego set!

Payton with his Lego set!

Our favorite dyed eggs!

Dying eggs! NO Shirts of course. Tod did come home for lunch and got to help and enjoy the mess it made!

Yummy Easter Cake. Chocolate cake, buttercream frosting with green coconut, jelly beans, and peeps! Yummy! Fun!
Dying eggs...
(sorry that's out of order)

How many did you get?
Carson got more than Payton.

Waiting to start the hunt.

It was a great weekend. We had to have our Easter dinner on Saturday night so Tod could be home to eat it! Tod's parents came and stayed the night too. It was a fun weekend! So glad we could celebrate with family and we are so grateful for the Savior's sacrifice and resurrection. For without it we would not be able to live with our Heavenly Father again.
