Easter Festivities

The week before Easter it was my turn to teach preschool so we had a lot of fun as a class decorating rice crispy treat easter eggs, making milk carton bunny baskets, and having our very own easter egg hunt. Fun was had by all. here is the proof:The decorating of the rice crispies. I think they liked the frosting more than the crispy treat.

And since I'm kind of behind on the Easter updates, I'll just keep the ball rolling and continue on to easter egg coloring which is what we did as a family the night before easter (yes we are procrastinators). Here's some documentation on that:

And then on Easter morning the kids were rewarded for such good behaviors through the candy highs of the previous week with... candy of course.
Porter couldn't stop shaking his eggs to make sure there was more candy in each one. He would have polished the whole basket off within minutes if we didn't pry it from his death grip. Now every time he sees an egg, he starts shaking his hands around. Let's hope he never gets ahold of a real one. Our house would be a mess. Brighton was just as excited to recieve all sorts of goodies from the big bunny. After all the excitement died down, we headed over to our friends house to watch General Conference, got spiritually (and physically) fed and had an enjoyable Easter Sabbath. We hope everyone out there had as good of an Easter as well!
