Easter Week

It's been a wonderful week!  Starting last Sunday, we spent some time each day talking about the week leading up to Easter Sunday - we went day by day and talked about what he did and what he taught.  It was wonderful!  

David is so funny - he loves stuffed animals and calls all of them "babies"  Our mornings generally are quiet and include lots of walks and bike rides - at least when the weather is not rainy.  

The kids love to play on the trampoline with mom and dad - and David especially wants me with him on the trampoline with him every day - even when it's wet. 

And when he does his hair get so super static-y!!! 

Tuesday was institute and it was wonderful.  Wednesday was young womens for Eileen and Anna.  Thursday morning, I spent at the grocery store with David getting stuff for Easter weekend.  

The kids had Friday off school (and they have Monday off as well) So we hard boiled some eggs and the kids had fun decorating them when David napped.  Then in the evening, Dan and I went down to the temple - we went this week instead of next because the temple closes on Tuesday for 2 weeks.  We wanted to make sure we got both trips in this month.  

Saturday dawned bright and sunny.  I took Anna and we met up with my mom and Sandi to work out. I think Anna had a good time - and we were all tired after, and sore the next day - After working out, we met at my parents house to celebrate Sandi and Taz's birthdays and do an Easter egg hunt and swim in the pool.  It was a bit cold, and non of the grown ups wanted to get it, so David didn't get to swim either, but the kids were all determined to go swimming and they loved it.  We had a nice afternoon together.  After the egg hunt, Sandi and my mom and I all went through some of the stuff from Grandma Penny before heading home. 

David LOVED the egg hunt. He kept walking around pointing at the eggs and saying "egg egg!!" and he loved picking them up and putting them in his basket.  The kids all had a great time and it was a fun morning.  After, we did our come follow me lesson and had dinner before putting kids to bed.  

David has loved having his siblings around this week - especially Anna - he can be heard all over the house any time he is awake calling "Anna Anna Anna!"  It's usually me who gets all this attention, so it's been funny watching him dote on Anna the last few days! 

Church today was wonderful.  We had some great talks and lessons on Christ and the Atonement.  The ward choir did really well - they sounded beautiful!  Our afternoon included napping and some family time talking about what Easter is really all about.  Then we watched the Tabernacle Choir's Easter program before sending the kids to bed.
