Easter

Easter is a different kind of Holiday for us now that the kids are older.  This year the Easter Bunny still came and he still hid eggs and by he I mean Ella and I stuffed them and Ella and Tyler hid them.  Most of the kids still had fun with that.
We had The missionaries plus two families from the ward over.  The Vincent's and The Sena's.  I quite enjoy making things into an extravaganza and since I have decided to try to make the holidays something fun to remember for all of my kids I tried with this holiday as well. 
I decorated the table all cute and made each person a pinata egg to take home and enjoy.  I also made a carrot goodie bag.
As with most "big" holidays we had a nice sit down meal which means that everyone at home got to help cook.  I really enjoy this part of the holiday.  I like being in the kitchen with my family cooking.  I also like that not ALL of the responsibility is on me.  A bonus to everyone cooking is that everyone will enjoy at least one thing on the menu since they made it themselves. 
I had a great time with all of the company over.  I wish I would of taken a picture of everyone but for some odd reason I neglected to do that.  After dinner we just sat around the table and chatted it up for a little bit.  I really enjoy holidays more and more and in a much different way then when my kids were younger.
