Easter Weekend and Sharky

Finally posting Easter weekend but what a great day to get caught up, Sunday. We had a great weekend, made frozen hot chocolate!

 Annual Easter Egg Hunt at the Halladay's, here's me...hiding the eggs we brought. Have to bring 12 plastic filled eggs per child and then each child leaves with 12 eggs. :)

 All the kids! So FUN!

 Then we dyed eggs at home, the kids were so clever. They drew such creative things on each egg, I even cooked more eggs so they could draw and dye some more.

 Easter morning, before all the searching and searching began, we had the kids come in our bedroom and Jake shared an Easter message with our family and then we each shared our testimony of our Savior, really brought the Spirit into our home, a great start to a beautiful day...in their baskets they each got new flip flops; a movie, "We Bought a Zoo;" Sierra got a lava lamp ;) and a Reester Bunny; Ashton got a Lakers t-shirt, sour bunnies and a giant ball. :)

 Happy Easter!

 LOOK at my Easter shoes! Aren't they so VERY cute!

 In Ashton's class at school the kids in his class and the adjoining classroom sold popcorn at recess and lunch to help raise money to adopt a sea animal. Well, they raised enough money to buy 4 sea animals. :) With the adoption they send a real picture of the animal, a stuffed animal so all of the kids named their adopted animals and now take turns bringing them home and journaling about their adventures. This last week Ashton got to bring Sharky home with us for a night and Ashton LOVED taking him everywhere with us, to piano lessons, the grocery store, he played basketball with him and jumped on the trampoline with him. :)
