I thought Easter deserved one more good post since the kids were so adorable. We went to a sacrament farewell earlier in the day and the kids were rotten. I did not think we were going to make it through. After it was over, Dallin insisted that he hadn't been bad enough for the Easter bunny to not come. LOL Apparently he was right and the bunny made his appearance during naptime. 
He made quite a mess--leaving a trail of half-eaten carrots from the kids' room to the Easter baskets upstairs. Kate woke up first and to my surprise was actually super excited about her stash. 
She started yelling and pointing from across the room. She played and played with her Elmo doll--loved him, hugged him, and laughed with him. Dallin woke up later and picked up EVERY SINGLE carrots on his way upstairs. He was so into it, he got all the way to the chair before he noticed there was anything in it. He LOVED his Mickey Mouse characters, of course, and he and Kate fought over them for the rest of the day. He was also excited about the kites and can't wait to try them. He went out with Uncle Willie and Daddy and tried out the soccer ball right away. It was great fun. Will and Tammy came over and we had a delicious and healthy ham dinner. Then it was time to open all of Nana's Easter Madness! Easter Bunny eat your heart out! Nana sent clothes for all the kids even Madison(Dallin insisted on wearing 3 of his t-shirts all at the same time--they had dinosaurs and Mickey...he is so into clothes it is funny). Nana also sent lots of Easter goodies (100 calorie packs and little snacks for our kids) and some candy! We sent Dallin downstairs and "hid" his Easter eggs and snacks in plain site around the living room. He raced upstairs and picked everything up as fast as he could. Kate actually put things in her basket too. Then the big people opened all of their Easter eggs--yeah for money and candy! Thanks Nana! Candy was all over the place since some of the eggs had burst and Kate was hoovering as fast as she could. She had jelly bean or chocolate drool for the evening. Every time we thought we got it all, she somehow had more. It is funny because I was so opposite with Dallin...he never tasted sugar until he was a year old, but here Kate is at 11 months with her jelly bean drippings prooving once and for all that my mothering skills are indeed slipping. LOL (but isn't she cute!?) 
Our Easter was great and hope all of yours were the same!
