Kanigan Family: Easter, Car Wash and Outside Fun!

We had such a fun Easter! We had a very busy Saturday with a soccer game, an easter-egg hunt, another small party and a photo shoot. Saturday night Dan and I got ready for the Easter Bunny who arrived bright and early and left eggs all over the house. We have morning church at 8:30am, so the kids were up extra early to collect their eggs, while Dan and I joined them with bloodshot eyes. All the kids had fun dumping their treats into a big pot. They called it their "candy soup" and had so much fun stirring it and sharing it with each other. After that we all got dressed up (except Dan and Owen because O got an eye infection the night before) and headed off to church. Ellie wore an adorable dress her Daddy bought her months ago. She reminded me of a little princess. I am still over-come sometimes with how much I love having a little girl!

When we got home we relaxed a while and then dyed our easter eggs. I always think it's funny that we dye eggs every year because no one in our family really likes hard-boiled eggs! I guess a tradition is a tradition. :) We had a delicious pork dinner and ended the day with a video on the life, atonement and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was a simple, beautiful day.

Earlier in the weekend we spent sometime out in the yard. Dan mowed the lawn while I washed our old Villager. We are trying to get it ready to sell. Dan finally bought a new car last week. He chose a 2010 Ford Fusion and is really happy with it. We found an excellent deal!

I cleaned out the inside of the Villager and then filled up a tub of water and let the kids wash the outside. I think we'll have to do that again sometime because they loved it! I think it's so funny that kids will be happy with the most ordinary things...as long as water is involved, they can play for hours!

I guess that's about it. I am taking my last final today...I better run and study. Have a great day everyone!

The Car Wash...

Another necessity for my kids is a good tree! I remember spending hours up in the trees in my yard when I was little. Ellie wanted to climb with Linc last week and even though I was right there, she wouldn't let me touch her. She wanted to do it herself.
