Easter Weekend

Our little family had a wonderful Easter this year. It was a lot of fun with Will actually knowing what was going on... sort of. We like to celebrate all the commercial reasons for Easter on Saturday, so that morning, we hid eggs and Will got to "hunt" for them. He was ecstatic! He found an egg at the top of the stairs, just outside the room, and loved it. Then when he realized there were more, he got even more excited!! THEN, when he found out there was candy inside, he went NUTS! He didn't want to use his basket, or mom and dad's help in holding the eggs, so he kept walking around dropping them, trying to pick them up, dropping more as he bent down, and did this the whole time he was hunting. Will was also really excited about his Easter basket. He got spoiled, thanks to Papa and Gigi Mortensen. The easter bunny brought Will a dvd "101 Dalmations" (which he has watched every day since... and guess who his favorite is? Yep, Cruella! - What a boy!), a book about Peter Rabbit, two things of bubbles, playdough eggs, and of course, candy! He really had a fun time. For about 2 or 3 mornings after Easter, he would wake up and ask if the Easter bunny had come. It was pretty funny.

These were some really cool dinosaurs from Grandma - you put them in water and they transform -this was BY FAR Will's favorite thing from his easter basket. He played with these most of the day!Talking so nicely to his little dinosaurs!Opening Peter Rabbit, he wanted Daddy to read it right away!Do you think he liked the bunny ears? Me neither,

but I know he loved the mouth full of candy he had!Kicking the snow looking for buried eggs.... good luck Will

Can you see how happy he was after his splendid egg hunt in the snow?

Our Sunday Easter was really great too, we had a great church meeting, and a very yummy meal. We did a little devotional talking about the real reason we have Easter. Of course we talked about Jesus and how he was resurrected and came back to life after he was nailed to the cross. Will thought that was very special, he even reminded us about Lazarus being raised from the dead (we learned about that about a month ago in FHE)... he scares us with his memory! It was a wonderful, SNOWY day, spending time together and remembering our Savior and his sacrifice for us.
