Easter Weekend

A guy that Andrew works with invited us to a party at his house on Saturday. They had a big Easter egg hunt planned for the kids. Each family was to bring 1 dozen eggs per kid in their family. Friday night we dyed Easter eggs. Each year gets funner and funner. The kids are now big enough to do things completely by themselves and have a little more patience than years past.

We dyed 18 eggs and also stuffed a couple dozen fake eggs. Because I let the kids help me put the candy in the eggs I didn't have to fight them to stay out of the candy. Not one piece was eaten until after the party!

I loved that Easter fell later in the month. It was a beautiful weekend and the snow was melting.

Sunday morning we all got dressed up for Easter service. We gave the kids their Easter presents. We didn't do baskets this year. We took this as an opportunity to buy the kids something they had been wanting for awhile. We got Lance a remote control truck and Lexie a bike.

We enjoyed a wonderful Easter message and worship service, then home for a wonderful Easter dinner; grilled steak and corn on the cob!

That evening we went to our first Alaskan Hockey Game. Fairbanks team is called the ICE DOGS. Lance was in heaven!! He loved being right up against the glass watching every play. Lexie enjoyed snacking and talking to those around her. We had a great evening!!!
