Easter - Better late then never

This Easter weekend we got the joy of having mom and Randy come and visit. The Saturday before Easter Randy and mom were going to leave. We of course packed it in. Randy took Abby to her soccer game while Alyson and I took Braydon and Cailah to the primary activity day. Al and I were in charge of a 15 minute station for the groups of kids. We came up, with help from the internet to egg the bishops door. So we cut out paper shaped like eggs and had each of the kids draw a picture or write a note to the bishop...he was a brand new bishop so it was even more fun. We took each group and snuck to the bishops office and quietly taped the eggs to his door. The best part was the bishop was there and he thought someone was knocking the first time we showed up and started to open up the door so we all ran and hid. The kids LOVED it. The bishop got the idea but a couple of times still started to open the door which was WAY fun. He loved it and talked about it at the pulpit on Sunday and then again thanked the kids during primary. He left them up that Sunday. It was really fun and SOOOO easy. I love easy things.

Anyhow because of all of this we were a little late getting eggs died and mom and Randy were going to leave Saturday afternoon. Mom and I ran to the store to get the eggs, we called Alyson to ask how many she wanted and she said well there are four kids so if we have 1/2 dozen for each kid that should be good. It was a good thing Randy was listening because he proceeded to speak up and say that wasn't going to work and that he WOULD be dyeing easter eggs. The kids, yes this includes Randy had a great time. When they were dry we wanted to get a picture of them on display with the kids. So Randy started picking out the eggs "he thought" were the best to put on display.....can you guess which ones he picked out. :O) LOL Yes your right...they were all his...the kids of course got a kick out of it. It was very much fun.

The BEST Easter eggs made. :O)

Cailah is there...she is just hiding behind the eggs next to Alyssa and in front of me.
