OH mY HeCK-
I am so seriously sick of this crappy Missouri weather. This has been a crazy last few months. Lexy and Ben have had so many snow days this year. I swear that they are not going to get out of school this year until the middle of June. We had a great Easter and Spring Break with the kids. It was very nice to not have to get up for school or seminary for the kids. On Easter we went to my Mom and Dad's house for our famous....
{Easter Egg Hunt} I love to make fun memories with my kids and pass on my favorite traditions. Easter egg hunts with the Ebert family are a huge tradition. I really loved doing that at my Grandma Grace and Grandpa Ray's house when I was a little girl. We all loved it. My cousin Dawn and I had a blast when we were little. My Dad has really carried on this tradition for my kids. Each year we all {my brothers and sister and now also our spouses} get to have a {big KIDS} Easter egg hunt, we all run throughout the yard looking for that one {GOLDEN EGG} my Dad will hide 1 really big dollar egg out there and it is a race to see who can find it. We are totally brutal. Lexy has been hunting with the {big KIDS} for a while, this year Benny really wanted to look with the big kids. It bummed him out that he had to be 8 years old to do it. He ran all over and helped me with my hunting. It was also one of the only years I can remember that we had to have the hunt inside. The weather was crazy this year on Easter. It totally SNOWED!!! My Dad also does an Easter Egg Hunt for the little kids. Gracey, Ally, Benny and Peyton ran all over looking for their fun eggs also. My parents are great. I am soooooo glad that we can live here in St. Louis by them.
Later that day, we went to church. I was really glad that we went. It was cute to see what the kids learned in their classes, Ally came out of Nursery and said, "Mom, why did J
esus come out of the tomb? because it was too dark in there?" it was so cute. I was able to teach YW that day also, I really enjoy teaching Lexys class. I really love the girls in there. Later that night we went to Dan's parents house and played with the kids cousin Ellie from Texas. The girls love to play with Ellie. She is adorable. She is very independent, she would just play for hours if her mom would let her. She is a crack up. Grandma Charlotte and Grandpa Bill also had an egg hunt for the kids at their house. The kids loved it. Joanna made it so that all of the kids had to look for "specific" eggs. Like, Gracey had to find all of the eggs with the stars on them. It made it great. they all took a long time to find all of the eggs and it was really fun to actually have time to watch them hunt. It was a great idea!!!
Just FYI - I can not figure out why some of this lettering is big and some is not. SORRY- I am not the most blogger savvy girl out there.
