Hoppy Easter!

Yesterday was a good day. It was so nice to have a day off where I wasn't working on Saturday. We spent the morning looking at cabinets for our remodel and then we took the kids to the Easter Egg hunt at Ella's Karate school. They put together a really nice activity. They gathered the kids together into age groups, (6 and under for my kids) and then took them outside to "hunt" eggs. Wes was sososososososo excited to participate. he walked around going "one-two-three eggs!" as he gathered them into his basket. He told me "Wesley LOVE eggs!" Ella ran off with the other bigger kids and she managed to snag quite a few eggs, including 3 special prize eggs. She gave one to Wes, and one to a little boy from her class who didn't get one. Ella pulled out a fantastic prize from the prize bag, a free party! Wes pulled out a free T-shirt. They both had a fantastic time. After the egg hunt, they went back inside for some karate activities, Wes was so excited to FINALLY get to go on the mats with Sissy. He stood in line with her for his turn to kick the punching bag, and was soso cute doing it. After a few turns he got tired of waiting so he went and found an unoccupied bag to kick. All the parents thought it was A-dorable! After the hunt we talked about the real purpose of Easter and what Jesus did for us.

Today is Easter, and we while talked about the resurrection and the reason we celebrate Easter, but the kids were more interested in the Easter bunny and what he brought. The kids were excited to see their baskets and find the eggs the bunny hid. I am so going to be eating the kids candy today!
