Easter Festivities!

Well.... Happy Easter everyone!!! I thought it was time to put in my yearly blog! :) Our Holiday festivities began at our Grandma and Grandpa Smiths, where we had a lovely dinner of delicious foods and Easter treats! Grandma Smith always has the best Easter treasure hunts! Afterwards the spirit was strong as Legrande (Darins dad) related the story of Christs Crucifixion and Resurrection, Marcia (Darins mom) then bore her testimony of her belief in Christ and his influence in her life. In conclusion each of the grand kids received a little framed picture of Christ. These festivities couldn't have been more perfect. The night before Easter the kids had a great time experimenting with their creative side while decorating eggs, they also decided it would be a good idea to write the Easter Bunny a little note which was then stuck in the door, awaiting his arrival. It is a good thing the Easter bunny came... leaving each one of the kids their own little baby duck! Luckily, they have provided hours of entertainment. Hayden decided to name his "Target" interesting choice...:) Vivians is "Daisy" and Julias chose the ever so unique "Cheeper".Fun Times... Our Easter came to a close as the kids enjoyed their annual "Snow" Easter egg hunt ( my grandparents) . We thought it was interesting that Hayden preferred the eggs full of coins rather than the eggs full of chocolate. :) We hope you all had a lovely Easter full of family, Hope, baby animals, and delicious Easter candy!

FAB!!! what great traditions, and i love hearing how families incorporate all aspects of easter. also, you get the coolest mom award...i mean the easter bunny does, for giving the ducklings! my friend gave me one an easter long long ago. i named him amosalymen. then my little chubby brother stepped on my friends duck accidently, and he was never the same after that...hold on...a new version of single ladies just came on your little player...what? hold on...i have to dance...okay now i'm even more nauseous...thanks a lot...it was worth it...i've gotta go lay down now:)

I always wanted a duck! I'm surprised that you let the E.B. give those to your children as they are very messy critters from my understanding. You are much more tolerant than I.
