Easter festivities

The Easter celebrations were in full swing for the Beeston family that weekend. 

But with Easter day falling not only on Conference weekend but also on April Fools, we had to get creative with certain things.

First off, Easter outfits! Since we wear pajamas all day on conference weekend, we busted out the Easter outfits the weekend before Easter. Look at those cuties. And that pose Logan is holding. Haha.

The annual easter egg coloring feast. This year, we used two different methods: the shaving cream and color dye, and the water and color dye.

We are in the best ward. They always plan super fun things and invite everyone. This year, it was a glow-in-the-dark Easter Egg Hunt at the Bell's. Bonus: there were baby chicks the kids could hold and pet. No chicks were harmed, but they came pretty dang close to it. Alexis was seriously scaring me. I thought she was going to choke that baby to death. Kendall was much soften. And the boys... they were too busy playing in the treehouse to notice the chicks.

4 sessions are a bit much for the kids, so we settled for 1 on Saturday and 1 on Sunday. That's really all they could handle. Jeez, that's all I could handle. Maybe one day we'll work our way up to 3, then 4. So Saturday morning, we watched a session, then off to the neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt we went. I am amazed at how many kids actually live in our neighborhood... and how little I actually see kids playing outside. Millennials...

Then Sunday, we watched another session, then off to Paul's house we went. Lily and her family had driven all day from Utah to spend Spring Break with us, and they arrived at the same time we did. So we did another Easter Egg hunt with them. Alexis is now a pro at finding eggs. It was too bad she started getting sick on Easter Day. But on the bright side, she snuggled with me all day.
