I know I'm posting this and it's technically not even Easter yet but it was for us! This is a busy season for Larry so he has been working a ton. It just worked out better to celebrate today. Tomorrow we will hang out at home, have fun as a family, and eat candy all day :). Maybe we will watch the Jesus Film for kids. I have to decide if Oksana can handle that or not. Sadly we won't be attending any services because I have 2 sick and snotty kids on my hand. Just colds, but I wouldn't want them around other kids. They were able to have fun today though and for once I actually got a lot of pictures so this is your warning that this is a picture heavy post!
Before I jump into today I'll share some egg coloring pictures from last night.

| I'm not sure Evan is capable of taking a picture that isn't silly! |
We started our morning finding baskets. My mother in law does so much candy that it will last us until next Easter so I only do a little bit of candy. I mostly do little gifts. The boys got a book about Doctor Who and chocolate Daleks and TARDISes. If you aren't a Doctor Who fan you will have no idea what that means. My boys just discovered it a few months ago and they LOVE it. The girls got punch balloons and little fuzzy ball things (I have no idea what they are called). Anya got an Elmo guitar and Oksana got the new Tinkerbell movie. All of the kids got silly string :).

| This is what happens every time I try to get a picture of him! |
 |
| Naked as usual. She never wears clothes in the house. |
Then we got everyone dressed and took a few pictures....of the girls. I think the boys' heads were in Doctor Who books.
 |
| I love this picture of Larry practicing for Easter services while Anya watches intently! |
After that we headed over to my in law's house to celebrate. We had an Easter egg hunt (that Anya was NOT impressed with), played outside, ate, and had tons of fun.
 |
| The one egg she actually got before she decided this was all a bunch of bologna and started with a major attitude! |
 |
| Anya in time out for being rude! |
Last but not least, we went home so Larry could head to work for Saturday night service and I took the kids outside for a silly string fight. :)
 |
| Yes, that is ME they are shooting and silly string on my camera! |
 |
| Clayton coming out double fisted. |
 |
| Clayton claiming victory :)! |
 |
| Not a fan of silly string at all. Honestly, she does know how to have fun as long as it doesn't involve egg hunts or silly string! |
 |
| My back porch after it was over. At least it was pretty! |
All in all a very fun day. I think I took more pictures today than I have in the last 6 months! I am looking forward to a relaxing day tomorrow celebrating the resurrection! Happy Easter!

Zola loves Dr. Who. She has a tardis necklace, a Dr. Who sonic screwdriver and even a Dr. Who pen. But, no Dr. Who candy this Easter -- I guess I should have thought of that. Hope you have a nice day.
Erin, where oh where did you get the chocolate TARDISes and Daleks?! I am a HUGE fan of Doctor Who! There's a local store here in Jersey that sells all kinds of great DW stuff, I've bought TARDIS pens, Lego-type Doctor figures, a heat-changing TARDIS mug, and a K-9 (the robot dog) Christmas ornament. But they don't sell DW chocolates!
Glad to see you and yours had a fun Easter! I don't miss dyeing eggs because of the smell, but they're still pretty to look at I admit. My mother bought my sister and I Easter baskets up until I was in my early 20s (sis is 10 years younger), but all I'd usually get was a couple chocolates and a Beanie Baby. ^_^
Well I would tell you where I got them but I don't recommend it. They came partially melted and the order wasn't 100% correct. I got them from someone on etsy. However, I discovered (unfortunately after purchasing the chocolates) that all this person did is put melted chocolate in this mold: http://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Silicone-Tray-Chocolate-Mold/dp/B00EQEHKZY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398185199&sr=8-1&keywords=dr+who+ice
I was so mad at myself! I could have done that easily. It would have been cheaper and I could make as many as I wanted. Lesson learned....
I have really enjoyed Doctor Who as well. It's been a fun family show to watch together in the evenings after the girls are in bed. We are finally through all of the episodes on hulu. It goes through to when the 11th doctor becomes the 12th doctor. We are holding out now to see the episodes with the 12th doctor. I can't imagine he will be as good as 10 and 11. They were amazing :).
