Easter with Family

Alan had a lot of fun preparing for Easter this year.  Here he is setting up some of the decorations. 

And, not really an Easter pic, but I had to put it up. This guy loves the sand box. He's not able to climb out of it yet, so it is nice to be able to keep him somewhat contained when we're outside.

We also dyed eggs over at Aunt Sarah and Uncle Michael's house.

Alan was quite proud of all of his eggs.  Even the ones he left in the dye for all of 2 seconds.

And James thought it would be best to eat the eggs, and then without fail, drop them on the floor.

And the boys have such nice grandparents that sent them so much candy that their parents didn't have to buy any at all. :)  This is a package from Grandma and Grandpa Foulk

And we got Alan opening the present from Grandma and Grandpa Robertson on video.  Classic Alan.

We told the story of the Resurrection on Easter morning with the boys before we went to find eggs.  In fact we did it several days the previous week after the first telling at Family Home Evening on Monday.  I had cut out the pictures from the nursery manual, and Alan just loved retelling the story of the Resurrection. 

Easter Morning!  Someone is pretty excited!

Ok, they both were pretty excited. :)

Alan is a professional egg finder these days.  He very quickly found all of the eggs.

And even though the Easter bunny left some low, easy to find eggs, James had a tough time getting some for himself.  But he was pretty determined, and managed to snag a few.

We found all the eggs!

Then it was on to the Easter baskets.

Here you go, James!

Time for the candy. :)

We also had Sarah and Michael, along with Sarah's sister's family, and others over for Easter dinner.   Here's Uncle Michael and some of his nephews with the bunny cake that they made!
