Easter this year was so much fun. I loved that it was in April instead of March, and the weather was BEAUTIFUL!! We went to the fairgrounds for the easter egg hunt thats put on there every year. It seems like more and more people show up every year! It only takes about 30 seconds and the whole place is wiped clean of all the candy and eggs. We went out with our girls to help them, but some parents decided that instead of letting their kids collect the goodies that they would do that for them...not very nice. It looked ridiculous as one lady was armloading everything in sight and not letting a lot of the little kids get anything. Oh well I wasn't really as interested in my kids getting candy as I was letting them have fun gathering it. After we went inside and ate hot dogs, chips and pop while the raffled off all kinds of goodies!
(below)This is Sunday morning right before church. While getting ready Kimi reached up and burnt her wrist REALLY BAD on the curling iron :( it was very sad and looked very painful. She cried for a long time and it was very hard to settle her down. We debated whether or not to even go to church because she was having such a hard time. I brought the girls outside to do a little walking around to settle Kimi down. It worked pretty good so we decided to go, and I'm so thankful that we were able to.
(below) Another shot of the girls from the front in their Easter dresses. Kimi and Takara were running and laughing. It was so cute! At church both girls decided to have a break down so we were swapping back and forth trying to calm each down. I went in with my primary class and finally got Takara to go into her own class. Evan brought Kimi into nursery and stayed with her just in case her burn started hurting her again.
After Church we went to Grandma and Grandpa Kawanos house for Easter Dinner and another egg hunt! The girls knew exactly what to do and had tons of practice with all the hunts they had over the last few days. We have enough candy to last us until Halloween.
Heres Takara and Kimi collecting all the goodies the Easter bunny left at Grandmas
We had an awesome Easter dinner and I am still stuffed. Takara doesn't usually like pictures at all and avoids looking at the camera as much as possible, but she asked if she could get a picture with Grandma so I jumped at the opportunity to hopefully get a good picture of her. She still blocked her face with her basket, but the fact that she even asked means that we're making progress :)
This Easter has been so wonderful and I'm so glad that I was able to go to church and teach my lesson to my class. I really needed to hear the real meaning of Easter to set my day straight.

I really needed to hear the real meaning of Easter to set my day straight.On another exciting note, Evan and I are expecting our 3rd baby. I am almost 14 weeks. It was very hard not sharing the news but I was so scared to let anyone know since I did before and had a miscarriage. Now that we are in a safer time of the pregnancy I thought that this would be a great time to announce it! We are so excited but I am still a little scared since so many things can happen. I never thought I would have a miscarriage and now that I have it has just proven to me that it can happen to anyone and nothing in this life is a guarantee so to never take anything for granted.
I hope everyone had a Happy Easter!
