Easter Weekend

We had a very relaxing, yet sickly Easter weekend. It actually started the Sunday before Easter with the traditional wearing of the Easter outfits. I figured since they were dressed up I should take some pictures and not wait for the day of. Parker was a grouch at first, as you can tell in the first pic, but warmed up a bit after awhile. Anyways, the Friday before Easter we dyed some eggs. Then, Saturday we woke up and watched a bit of conference then walked over to the park down the street and did our neighborhood Easter egg hunt. The kids had fun, but it was so wet and cold that we left right after they found their eggs and got their prizes. No playing around on the toys this year! It made me happy though that I could be there...Last year during the egg hunt I was recovering at the hospital from having Collin the night before. Jeremy left me to take them to the hunt. What a good Dad :) After the hunt we came home a chilled for pretty much the whole day. Jeremy left for the priesthood session and we went to the grocery store. Fun, huh? That night Jeremy and I were watching "Where the Wild Things Are" when I heard Parker in bed crying. I went in to find vomit all over, and I mean everywhere! Ick! So, I took care of that and Parker fell asleep on Jeremy while we finished our movie (which, I DO NOT recommend that movie AT ALL!) SO, Easter morning we had a sick child, which meant no candy for him. And, I knew he was still not feeling well because he didn't even ask. We hung out and watched more conference and took naps. That night Jeremy took Samantha over to Grandma and Grandpa Klein's house for Easter dinner. I stayed home with poor Parker who was feeling a bit better, luckily. Sam had fun with another egg hunt in G&G Klein's basement and she was kind enough to get Parker some too. It was a great Easter and we definitely emphasized the true meaning of Easter this year. That's something we're working on . The Easter Bunny brought the kids yummy candy, but also some great things to remind them of Christ and the Resurrection. What a great weekend to celebrate Easter, being able to hear our Prophet as well. I hope everyone had a wonderful day too!
