Face Painting

We took Shaelyn and Aiden to our town's Earth Day

Celebration this weekend. They had a terrific time sampling

the cupcakes, popcorn, planting a tomato plant and of course,

having their faces painted. Aiden sat perfectly still while they

painted his face to look like Spiderman. Shaelyn's looked very

elegant. Neither of them wanted to wash it off come bath time

that evening:) Shaelyn finally took hers off before bedtime but

Aiden really put up a fuss so we let him sleep with it on. Most

of it was rubbed off by morning so he let me wash it off without

much of a fuss :)

Happy Easter

just wore Aiden out!

Coming out of church Aiden bent down and picked a dandilion and proceeded to blow the seeds. It was sooo cute.

Aiden found a silver egg during the egg hunt at church and you would have thought he had won the lottery! He was estatic!!!

Wow! What an action-packed Easter we have had! On Saturday

morning we had an Easter party/egg hunt at church. The kids

got to make a craft, heard the Easter story, played games, ate

pizza and of course, hunted eggs! It was wonderful! They had

a terrific time! Then on Saturday evening we colored eggs at

home! What fun :-) Sunday morning woke up bright and early

- 5:30 AM to be exact! The "Easter Bunny" had left baskets

for Shaelyn and Aiden and they were both excited to see their

loot. Then we got dressed and headed to Sunrise Service at

7:00 AM. After church we had Easter dinner at our house

with my Dad, (Mom was not feeling well enough to join us)

and my Sister's family. After dinner we had an egg hunt in

our back yard for the kids. The adults just sat around and

soaked up the wonderful sunshine! It has been a wonderful

Easter! I am so thankful for family, good food and most

importantly, the wonderful gift of our Resurrected Savior!

Happy Easter everyone!!
