Easter Sunday

I'm going to have to make this quick. It's late and I'm very very tired *yawn* I'm just posting this to pacify my sis! *lol* I love you Cher! Sorry I couldn't give you more tonight. It was a highly stressful day today!

But this post isn't about my stressful day, is it? We'll save that for another time and another forum. Lets talk about our wonderful Easter Sunday!

The Easter Bunny hid the kids' baskets and left little notes here and there leading them to the baskets. This worked out AWESOME! We have 9:00 church so it was easy to put off the baskets until after church (out of sight, out of mind, you know) - good thing because when Corbin found his candy he wasted no time devouring it! It was gone in seconds and he was begging for more *lol*

So Jason was scheduled to speak in church but woke up feeling nauseated - no, it wasn't nerves! He doesn't get nervous before speaking - in fact I think he thrives on it (psycho!) So he ended up calling the bishop and rescheduling for another time. ...which meant I had to take the kids to church by myself. I know this may sound terrible, but we purposely got to church LATE - I didn't know if I could sit with the kids thru all of Sacrament by myself! I've never done it and the thought terrified me!

After church we went on the hunt for the baskets. This was a BIG hit! It was fun to watch Jenalyn try to figure out the clues. Like: Find your next clue in the BIG rectangle where you keep your milk. *lol* okay, sounds simple, but it was a lot of fun for my 4-year old. Corbin just tagged along...mostly.

After baskets and naps Grandma Jan & Grandpa John came over for dinner. We did not have a traditional Easter feast - we did that the night before at Great-Grandma "Scrabe's" house. We had pork stir fry over rice. It was really good! I think everyone liked it. It was actually a very pleasant meal with the in-laws! My father-in-law isn't always easy company so this was very nice.

So that's our Easter in a nutshell. I'll hafta come back on tomorrow and post our Saturday Easter celebration at my grandma's house. That was LOADS of fun!

Here are a couple pictures:

(*pfft* The best picture I could get of them together - lame, I know! They were watching t.v. and were NOT interested in having their pictures taken! I could have turned off the T.V. but Corbin would have had a meltdown and his preoccupied-face is much more appealing than his fitty-face! This was before church...and before breakfast so he was cranky.)

Beautiful Jenalyn - I LOVE this picture of her!! She is getting really good at posing for pictures! Actually, I have a hard time getting her to smile normally! She's all about funny faces lately. One day I'll have to dedicate a post entirely to Jenalyn's funny faces! She's hilarious!

And Mr. Cheeser himself! Taken before church.

Jenalyn after church with her basket and Strawberry Shortcake puzzle pail :) Unfortunately I did not get a picture of their baskets before they ravaged them.

And, as I said, once Corbin got his hands on his candy - it was all over! He just kept shoving it in! Look at his little sweater vest! It's covered in drool (good thing this was after church, eh?) he couldn't even get his little mouth closed over all the candy! Good thing the bunny was thinking and only put 1-2 pieces of candy in each egg *winky wink*

So there you have it - not so short after all, eh? And now I'm going to have a hard time getting up for work tomorrow. I blame YOU Cheryl! *lol*
