Aubrey is just grasping the concepts, but she can tell you all about Easter and I think it is adorable. On the way home from church she said, "When Jesus grow up, he got nails in his hands. Then they took a really big rock and they put it in front of the door. Mom... I saw it in a picture at Sunbeams. When they opened it, he wasn't in there! Mom, he was all gone! And now Jesus lives again." I love the sweetness and innocence of children.
Thursday night we decorated eggs, and other than Cora drinking (yes, drinking) the pink egg dye when we were not looking, things went smoothly. Then, yesterday we celebrated all the Easter bunny/candy part of Easter. We also milked the Easter bunny all week for good behavior. Steven even threatened to text the Easter bunny and tell him not to come when Aubrey wouldn't go to bed :)
The girls loved finding eggs and their baskets. The Easter bunny got them both new Saltwater sandals and bike helmets.
The only bad part about this weekend has been my jaw. When I was a senior in high school, my jaw locked shut. After a year of trying to open it, I had surgery, therapy, etc. Well... I woke up Saturday morning with it locked again. It has unlocked since then but it is still really tight. So, I am slightly freaking out about the possibility of going through all that again. I have spent the weekend eating smoothies and oatmeal.
Anyways... the rest of Saturday was spent at the ward egg hunt, playing in the backyard, swimming, and going out for dinner. Aubrey declared yesterday "The most awesomest day ever."
The rest of our day will be spent at a bbq with a bunch of friends. I always miss my family on big holidays, but we are so grateful to have good friends.
Happy Easter!
