Easter 2015

The boys are at really fun ages right not.  They get so excited for holidays.  Jacks really understands holiday traditions like the Easter Bunny now.  Easter landed on conference weekend this year and I love when that happens.  We tried to teach the boys the true meaning of Easter.  For family night every week for a few weeks we talked Easter.  I didn't really think they understood or got anything out of it but we tried. One night while I was work Jordan was watching the boy and Link saw the Ensign with a picture of Jesus and he said "Jesus come back alive."  I was really amazed that Link remembered that and understood.  I always direct things towards Jacks thinking that Link is to little to understand.  He usually just runs around like a crazy man.  He must be getting a little more out of it than we realize.  

The day before Easter my family had their conference party with my extended family.  Not many people were able to come this year but it was still a lot of fun.  Jordan went to the priesthood session with his dad and brothers it was just me and the boys.

My mom did an Easter egg hunt for my boys and my cousins kids.  They were so spoiled they got lots of candy and a little Transformer.  They loved it; Jacks and Link both got really into it this year.  All the kids were are to little to read so instead of writing their name on the eggs they printed their pictures and stuck them on the eggs. The boys had so much fun at the party. Jacks really loves my cousins kids.    

On Easter the Easter Bunny brought the boys a big Optimus Prime with a trailer. The boys opened their Easter stuff then we went to Jordan's parents house for breakfast with his family.  We went home in time for Conference.  We watched conference with the boys then went to my parent's house for dinner. Mike came down and it was a lot fun. 

The boys colored Easter eggs a couple times this year. My mom bought them little kits that had Transformers stickers and TMNT stickers so they loved it.  Jacks colored some eggs in Preschool so he was a pro and knew exactly what to do.  He made a little bit of a mess but he really liked it.  Link mostly just put stickers on.

I attempted to take some pictures of the boys with plastic Easter eggs. They hate pictures right now and never smile for my camera.  If they are even looking at the camera I count it as a win. Here are a few of my miserable attempts.

We had a really good Easter this year.  As the boys get older things become more and more fun. 

Jordan's family waited to do their Easter party until his sister and her kids came here.  The boys had so much fun.  We had a fun little Easter egg hunt in their backyard.  The boys always have a lot of fun with their cousins.  They got lots of candy and some cute little prizes.  Their favorite was silly string!
