Give Me a "PRE!" Give me an "E!".. Give me a "STER!" What do ya get??

PREEASTER! (yeah, i am a dork. and I know it!)  But what else do you call a post about the stuff you did to get ready for Easter?

Easter is one of my favoritist holidays! Actually, there aren't many holidays I have met that I don't like... but Easter is a definite LIST TOPPER!
First and foremost, I love honoring our Savior, Jesus Christ, and His miraculous life, death, and resurrection.  I love talking about it with my children. I loved talking about it with my primary kids. I love spending time with family (usually out in nature, preferably camping etc.) and I love coming home and attending church on Sunday. I like the worldy stuff too-- I think egg coloring is so fun! and don't forget the egg hunts! Loved them as a kid... love them even more as a mom! And really, come'on doesn't love bunnies and chickies?

This year we had to steal daddy away from all the homework he SHOULD have been doing to color some eggs. It came at the end of a very busy day... him with school and me with PACKING (yep, starting to pack up the house. Yikes!)  This is a picture of Adelia "packing" while Tianna played The Easter Bunny by hiding eggs amongst my messes while I packed boxes.

 But late Wednesday night, we snuck in EGG COLORING 2011

Did I mention I was packing? So ignore Scary Mary :D

 I had my last card group with my awesome friends from Logan. Chandra and Angie (and Shannon who couldn't make it) I will miss you so much! thanks for letting me "in the group!"

After card group on Thursday I rushed home to make our other Easter Eggs.  I mad them last year and thought they were really fun and I think they are so cute... come to find out, some of the Frandsen Men think they are ugly. But they insisted that if they closed their eyes, they tasted really good. Well guess what.. TOO BAD. I'll keep them for myself, thank you very much.

 Some friends brought me more boxes. Turns out, they make a pretty good "house" too!

Friday I had to get us ready for camping! yay! Adelia was wearing her cute jacket and then eventually put on the hat... which would have been enough to make it picture worthy, but then 

 CHECK OUT DEM HEELS! Yowza!

 And... I always feel weird posting pictures of myself.. but I've only had pictures taken of  me lately when I look pretty scary. So just for my future benefit, i want to remember that once in a blue moon I did take some time to get ready! :D   Just in time to go camping-- which will be the next post!
