Easter Morning

Twas the night before Easter and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse...... I don't know why but my little's seemed to be more excited this Easter than years in the past. In fact Emily wrote a little note for the Eater Bunny. 

Her note read;

Dear Easter Bunny

Thank you for our Easter gifts. Last year all of us liked it when you hid our gift's hard.

So this year we want you to hide them hard again please.

Thanks, Heaton Kids

Easter is so much more then the Easter Bunny and we strive so hard each year to remind our kids this. For that reason we really don't play up the Easter Bunny. He does come and he does leave a little something but that's about it. So I was quite caught off guard with everyone's excitement. Several days before Easter we read the scripture account of what Christ is doing or what is happening to him. We do our best at remembering the real reason we celebrate Easter. 

Little Miss Kylie. She got her very own package of candy. New panties, a new pair of slipper socks to protect those little toes on our cold floors, a church book and a pair of sunglasses.  

Sure love this sweet girl! 

 Mr. Brayden! He too got his own package of candy, a church book, water goggles for his upcoming swim lessons and a boomerang. 

That boomerang has kept this little man of mine busy for hours.

Madelyn got a box of whoppers candy. Her favorite! She too got a new church book about Queen Esther, book marks and some chalk hair dye. Her and some friends want to have a few streaks of color for the upcoming last day of school.  

Hunter also got a new church book, when Nephi and his family leaves Jerusalem. A box of microwave popcorn (his favorite), his own candy and a boomerang too.  

 This young lady also got her own package of candy, a new book and sunglasses. 

 Lucky girl! Her glasses came with their own little case. 

To their great delight the Easter Bunny hid all the baskets super hard this year. It took them a bit longer to find them this year. So fun.....
