Easter 2016

Easter came in March this year.  If I remember right, it's been quite a while since Easter has come in March.  Most of the time it falls in April.  But no matter.  We'll take Easter whenever it comes. :)

Here is a picture of the kids' Easter baskets.

 Eric's basket

You can't really see much, but he got several pair of "crazy" socks.  That's what he wanted and even though that might seem boring, he really liked them. (And they really weren't cheap either!)  :)

Dallin's basket

He also got a "treble clef" key chain and a music book stabilizer tool.  And you can see the Titanic puzzle in the background.  Dallin loves 3D puzzles!

Kyle's basket

Kyle just recently became the badminton champion of his PE class. Way to go Kyle!  So the Easter bunny brought him a Badminton set.  The book in the back is by John Bytheway, and it's "You're Gonna Make it Through Junior High."  I'm pretty sure that every junior high-aged kid could benefit from this book.  (And Kyle's even read some of it.)  Awesome!

Jacob's basket

Jacob got a couple new books that he absolutely loves...Diary of  a Minecraft Zombie.  (The series is kind-of a spin off from Diary of a Wimpy Kid.)  He really enjoys reading them.  He also got a "4-piece metal puzzles" kit.  He's really into mechanical things and figuring things out.  I'll have to ask him if he already solved them all. :)

These next few pictures aren't that great because everyone scattered so quickly on Saturday morning.  I was lucky to get a pic of each child. :)  (Gosh, they're almost worse than when they were little.) Ha!

Jacob (and Ziggy)

Dallin

Eric and his crazy socks! 

Kyle would hardly even let me take a picture of him.  Oh, and by the way, he got glasses!  I'll try and get some better shots of him in the near future. Silly Kyle! :)

We had a wonderful Easter.  We did the "bunny" stuff on Saturday, and on Sunday we focused on the resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ.  After all, that's what Easter is all about.

Happy Easter everyone!
