Hoppin' down the Bunny Trail!

We're trying to get ready for Easter around here. I wasn't sure whether to get the girls Easter dresses this year, or not. Easter is this Sunday, but it's also General Conference. So, we can watch from the comfort of our own home, without having to get dressed up! As much as we like to do this, we find that it's easier for the kids to pay attention and be reverent when we are sitting in the chapel. So, should I buy Easter dresses? I also would love to have the girls all in matching dresses, but it seems like a challenge to find all the right sizes. I guess I should learn how to sew so I can make them in whatever size, pattern, and color I want! I sure do miss our tailor in China who made whatever we wanted, even without a pattern!

We are also going to have an Easter Egg hunt and BBQ with our neighbors tomorrow evening. The weather has been warming up so nicely and it stays lighter a little longer now. Perfect ingredients for a Spring Get Together, don't you think?

Our ward primary had an Easter Egg Hunt last Saturday. Elizabeth invited her friend from school. Everyone had fun finding the eggs, and eating the candy. They had some fun games in the gym for the kids to play, too. Instead of a cake walk, they had paper eggs on the ground with numbers on them. As the music played, the kids walked around the circle. When the music stopped, they called out a number. The winner got a cute carrot. I wish I had taken a picture of them, but they were the triangular cake decorating frosting bags with orange cheese puffs in them tied with a green ribbon. Super cute! I'm going to have to remember that for future easter or spring favors! Maybe I'll make some for our party tomorrow night! Then I can take a picture of them for you to see.
Thanks for hopping by! Hop back over to see final pictures of the easter baskets, as well as pictures from our Spring Get Together!
