Last night we decorated some eggs. I hard boiled A LOT of eggs. Eight came out with cracks and seven survived. Learned my lesson for next year. Camilla had fun decorating eggs and wanted one pink and one blue. Daddy helped her out this year. Then she colored them up. It was a lot of fun. We were all looking forward to the egg champ.
This morning Mr. Stannix and I were both awake pretty early, just laying in bed wondering when the kids would wake up. It was unusual for no one to be awake at 7:15am. Finally we had to wake them up. I gently rubbed Camilla's arm and she rolled over and whispered, "I'm sleeping, Mamma". As soon as Hyrum heard the creaky floors he immediately awoke with excited grunts and giggles. A few minutes later Camilla woke up and jumped out of bed to see what the Easter Bunny brought.
Then it was time to get ready and run off to early morning church! Camilla pretty much had candy for breakfast and a little bit of cereal with some convincing. There were some fabulous Easter talks and it was great to be able to ponder the atonement and the real meaning of Easter. Hyrum practiced his standing all through Relief Society. He was so proud of himself and continued to practice when he got home. We are super excited for him. He would applaud himself after he fell down. When we got home my sis snapped a quick family picture for us on the back deck.
Once afternoon naps were had, we did the egg hunt. I think Auntie Emma wins the award for most creative with her M&M guys. We enjoyed dinner and time with friends and then did our traditional egg champ.
Not only were the M&M's very stylish, but Emma was the champ this year! Camilla did pretty good with her little eggs and was able to champ a couple of people before they smashed.
It was super fun to relax and enjoy with friends!
