Easter 2009

For Lana, Easter began on Thursday. Her preschool had an "Easter Field-day". They asked the parents to provide an Easter basket and they had some fun and games outside. She loves preschool now. Every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday she wakes up and tells me that it's time to go to school. And if she wakes up early then I have to get her ready and then sit her in front of Handy Manny or Imagination Movers until it's time to go or else I am inundated with "Mom, I'm ready now... Let's go... Why aren't we going? Mom, let's go to school! It's time..." It's enough to make any sane person a little bit crazy.

We opted to do Easter on Saturday since we have early church, I had to be extra early for choir and Paul had early meetings. (Oh, and not to mention the fact that I have a hard enough time getting to church on time on regular Sundays...9am church is not my friend.) So we stuffed and hid the eggs Friday night. Tanner was the first one up on Saturday. He really didn't know what to think of Easter.



He's thinking "did you want me to pick these up? This is a little lame, mom."



And here he's telling me about the meaning of Easter. Such a deep thinker this one is.



And this is where he figured out that there was candy in the eggs.



I love this picture. Lana had just crawled out of bed and there's Tanner-the-blur going from egg to egg. Lana's just trying to figure out what's going on.



It didn't take long.

Today (Sunday) we enjoyed a beautiful Easter Sacrament Program. I am so thankful for all those fabulously talented people who are willing to share their gifts to bless others!
