Easter Party

I love parties!! I especially love kid parties because they can be so laid back and fun. I really wanted to have a valentine's party, but we were sick so I decided to do a St. Patrick's day party, but we were sick yet again so I decided that for sure we would have an Easter party. Gigi helped me plan it all out and helped prepare for it, which by itself was a lot of fun.

Before the party we had institute and I was able to sit in with the kids and listen to their lesson. My friend Prairie creates amazing lessons for all of the kids that come and today it was about the last week of the savior's life and his resurrection. It was pretty awesome. The kids even acted out the scene when Jesus rides through town on the donkey. It was nice to have the spiritual message of Easter before a non-spiritual Easter party.

We had the party in the field behind our church and a bunch of friends came. I think we had about 25 people total. It was awesome! We ate lunch, dyed eggs, had a 3 legged race, had an egg spoon race, decorated Easter bags and of course ended with an Easter egg hunt. It was complete chaos, which I love and luckily all of the moms stayed and helped create a little calm. Thank you to everyone who came. Hopefully everyone had fun! I know I did :)

The hunt!



Some of the kids were a little pooped by the end of the party :)


Later some friends came over to grab their cupcakes because they had to leave before we were done so they played for a bit. Gigi somehow convinced them to play a game where she was the guard and her friends were her slaves. The drumstick is what she used to push them into prison and the hair things around their wrists are their handcuffs. Hmmm...I honestly have NOO idea where she comes up with this stuff.
