Saturday evening we had a cousin Easter Egg hunt, colored eggs and Laurie prepared a really nice Easter message for the kids. It is neat to see all the cousins really grow up and be able to do planned activities together. The boys delivered flowers to a few people in the neighborhood and wished them Happy Easter. We no longer have little babies but big boys who can do more and understand the Resurrection and Atonement. Each child was able to participate in their own way and it was fun to see how knowledgeable they all were.
Unfortunately Jared was unable to come down with us for Easter since he had to work a 30 hour shift in the ICU and will have to almost every weekend from now until June. I feel so bad for him when he has to do that. What a guy! He works so hard for us and we are so grateful for him. I couldn't do it! Well, the kids enjoyed coloring eggs and writing their names on them before putting them in the color and seeing their names appear. Rachael was Tanner's coloring buddy. You had to watch his little hands from attacking the different colors but he loved it and did well.
This year Mom put on a glow in the dark hunt for the kids. You put glow sticks in the eggs so they glow. It's kind of cool but we decided we enjoy the normal one just as well. It was all the same for the kids. They were all really good to make sure everyone got some. Clayton has been so loving to Tanner. He really has been his little buddy for quite some time now and shows such love and protection towards him.
