Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter this year. The Easter bunny comes to our house on Friday night, so we can celebrate all the Easter festivities on Saturday and be able to focus on the real meaning of Easter on Sunday. My family has always done this, so we decided to carry the tradition over to ours.

So, Saturday morning Tyler woke up and found his basket. For some reason I didn't get a picture with him and all his goods. Here are his 2 gifts the Easter Bunny brought him.

This one is a tee-ball bat, ball and stand.

and a crazy Mr. Potato Head! He came with multiple pieces, this is the first one Ty put together.

Then we colored some eggs!

He was very proud of them all.

I attempted making some "dinosaur eggs". I got the idea here. I think they turned out cute. Although, i left them out over night so we ended up just throwing them away.

Here is Tyler trying out his Tee-ball. He thinks it is pretty great.

Our neighbor, Joyce, invited us over for Easter dinner. She also set up an "egg hunt" for Tyler. There were no eggs, just toys, puzzle, sidewalk chalk etc. She hid them all around her yard and Tyler had a blast finding them. This is the only photo we got because our camera ran out of batteries.

Donny's work put on a little Easter party for the employees and their families. It was full of fun activities for the kids. Our little Tyler HATES large crowds so this is what we got. After coaxing him to get into the bounce house... he just sat at the edge. Poor guy is so shy.

He really wanted to meet the Easter Bunny but would not let go of Donny's hand for the life of him.

They had an Egg hunt but the parents were not allowed to help the kids. Tyler stayed at one little corner and luckily they had enough goodies that he was able to fill his basket pretty full. He was really excited. Probably not so much after I took away his candy because all it consisted of was bubble gum and fireballs. What 3 year old is gonna eat that?

Over-all we had a great weekend. We did focus on Christ on Sunday. Tyler is very concerned that people hurt Jesus and he died. We tried to focus on him being resurrected but he still can't understand why people would hurt him. "Jesus is nice, they shouldn't do that. Why did they put that poky crown on his head?" This is what he keeps asking us. It's hard to explain these things to a 3 year old. But I am glad that he love his savior. I also love my Savior Jesus Christ and was thankful to reflect on the atonement and resurrection this past weekend.
