Pre-Easter fun

Friday Jonathon got off work a little early so he got to join in the egg decorating fun. This was the first year that the kids ALL really got into the process. Next year, I think I will try some natural dying ideas...

Jonathon concentrating on making egg-art!

Olive going for more color.

Aspen and Cedar in deep concentration.

Saturday was the ward Easter Egg hunt. I had been keeping an eye on the weather all week. I REALLY didn't want to have the hunt in the church. The weather was iffy, but we decided to have it outside anyway. We had a really good turn out and I was really impressed that so many people in our ward donated eggs. It was cold, but lots of fun!

Olive, Cedar and a friend checking out the goods.

Olive and her friends showing us what they got.

Cedar had a busy morning. His first soccer game and then rush back to the church for the egg hunt. He's wearing my fleece because it was really cold!

Aspen showing us what she got! A little jacket wasn't enough on the windy hill.

Aspen and Olive were quite the troopers. The went up to the church at 8:30 to help me get everything set up. By the time it was time to start, their feet were soaked and frozen. The were great helpers and the egg hunt was a success because of them.
