Easter - Bryan style!

Easter started bright and early Sunday morning. However, it was a delightfully long one at home as this is the first Sunday in our marriage (minus General Conference) that we actually got to sleep in! David was released last week as the Elder's Quorum President.

Adam was the first to emerge and he didn't notice the deposits of eggs at first. Once he did, though, the race was on! As he was collecting, however, he worked it out in his head that the Easter bunny hopped around our house while we were sleeping and popped out eggs. What can I say? He's a country boy who has seen how chickens lay their eggs.

Julianna discovered that there was candy inside of those eggs and it was about 3 seconds or less before she was devouring all she could get in her mouth!


After Church we went to Grandma & Grandpa Evans to enjoy a feast of ham and all of the fixins, as well as another Easter Egg hunt.






After our hunt, it was time to head over to Grandma & Grandpa Bryan's house for another egg hunt and supper. Someone was starting to get a little tired...

We also had an unexpected visitor! Uncle Jeremy dressed up as the Easter Bunny. The kids were, of course, delighted! Especially since he came with more goodies! But - - have we mentioned that nothing gets by Adam? After the Easter Bunny said his "goodbyes" and Jeremy sneaked back into the house, Adam asked Uncle Jeremy if he was the Easter Bunny. We tried to pretend like we didn't know what Adam was talking about, but he must be thinking we're all nuts. :)






This bunny became Adam's wrestle-mania opponent.


And then the annual Bryan Family Easter Egg Hunt. Yes, it deserves to be in all-caps because it is practically an olympic sport. It's become a little simpler now that there are little kids looking for eggs, but not by much. It's a boys-versus-girls, 90-egg-total hiding event. This year, the boys hid eggs in the backyard for the girls, while the girls hid them in the front yard for the boys to find. The only rule: at least a part of the egg must be visible. The definition of "part" is extremely subjective and usually the subject of humorous complaints during the hunt.
