Easter 2016

We headed down to Eagle Mountain's egg hunt on Saturday morning. The older kids got a good haul, but the younger ones struggled a bit this year! It may have helped if they got a little more than a tiny tootsie roll in their five eggs! Ha! They had fun doing it, and that is all that mattered!

 Afterwards, we had the Hegerhorst Easter Party. The kids did some games, followed by the egg hunt and dinner. It was a blast as always!

 We headed home and dyed our Easter eggs!

Since we have 9 o'clock church we got up running. I didn't get a good picture before church since Zack was upset about his socks and Nate was cranky....so we tried again after church. My cuties in their Easter bow ties and dress. They looked so cute!!!!

Before church fail...but super cute anyways!

 After church we started our fun with the traditional Easter basket scavenger hunt. This year was so fun since 2 of them could read the clues! They were off running and so excited! Every time they knew where the next clue was you could see the light bulb moment and they would yell and run!!!! It was too fun and even Makayla did well. We just wrote the locations on hers and she got to the point where she ran and got them on her own. It was a lot of fun this year. After Zack finished he said, "We HAVE to do this again next Easter!"

 Following our basket hunt was our Easter egg hunt. We let Makayla start on one side and set the boys loose on the other side of the yard. No need. We put out TONS of eggs and they all had too much candy! They ran around crazily for a few minutes and even Nate got into it. He found a few eggs, managed to get them open, and went to town!

 I love Easter. It really is probably my second favorite holiday, behind Christmas! We have so much fun as a family. We read most nights what happened the week leading up to Christ's resurrection. It was neat to be able to teach and learn with our kids about the true meaning of Easter. I love spending time with my family and love the happy excited faces of my sweet kids!
