Easter baskets were hidden all through the house. The kids ran around trying to find them Sunday morning and one by one made their way to the family room. Luke was first.
Luke and Matt were both thrilled to receive Star Wars stuff in their baskets. They had seen me collecting Star Wars things for a School Fundraiser Silent Auction Basket – so they were pleasantly surprised to see duplicates in their baskets. Matt’s pretty excited about his GOODNIGHT DARTH VADER book which is by the same author as one he picked out for his birthday last year. Luke was the most excited about his Star Wars Thumb Print Art book and the Chewbacca Pez!
Ryan got the Hobbit 3 on iTunes. What more could he want. Strawberry milk powder, and his favorite German candies and he was a happy boy.
We love Haribo Peaches – we got them ALL the time in Germany.
Katie got socks and make up and things.
The kids have never had Pop Rocks so that was kind of fun – definitely an experience. Emily didn’t love them and Luke seriously had a heart attack and screamed that they hurt his mouth (he’s overboard dramatic) but everyone else thought they were kind of fun. Later when one of the kids was talking about the Easter Bunny putting things they each liked in their baskets, Luke exclaimed that the Easter Bunny did NOT know what he liked because he put those Pop Rocks in his basket. Take note, Bunny.
This is the kind of pose I get when I point my camera at these two. Love these teens.
General Conference was fantastic, like always. New notebooks and our favorite fancy German markers and we were ready to go. My girls are extensive note takers like me. Luke and Matt worked on their packets when Megan urged them to. No idea why Matt decided to watch Conference with his football helmet on. Just because. We enjoyed all the talks. So many favorites…
We had a couple of great devotionals this week learning about the Savior’s last week. Lds.org had a great Easter video and slideshow of picture with summaries of each of the last days. Then I found these in the New Era and posted them on the wall to help us remember throughout the week. I just love everything you can find on the church websites for teaching. It was a great weekend.

Great Easter memories! I love lds.org too, they have SO many resources that we have come to enjoy! The pop rocks comment made me laugh-our kids love those things-maybe the Easter bunny just mixed up houses-poor Luke=)
That is so funny about the pop-rocks!! Luke certainly is dramatic. Under different circumstances, he could have loved them..ya never know. Love all the pictures you put on the wall. Great idea!
