happy easter!

This year Easter was especially fun because Malia has kinda sorta started to understand the concept of the egg hunt. For our Papa date on Friday had an Easter Egg Hunt! Melba and Kina got all the eggs ready and hid them in the back yard. Our cute family friends, Nancy and Emily, joined in the fun.

At first, she had NO idea what to do. It helped her to see the bigger kids putting eggs in their baskets. After a few seconds though, she got the hang of it and was walking around and snatching up eggs all by herself.

Kina (with Kalo) enjoyed the eggs from the sidelines.
Next year she'll be able to join in:)

After our Papa date egg hunt we went to an Easter Party at our friends, Saia and Line's home. We started off with an Easter Egg Hunt for the kiddies, had a yummy dinner of appetizers and finished off the night with games.

Our last hunt was held at the Hunkins house with Vai and Ita. By the time of this hunt Malia understood that there was CANDY in each egg. She was less eager to fill her basket with eggs and more eager to sit down, open the egg and EAT the candy. Needless to say, it took a looong time to get all the eggs finally picked up. he he.

It was a fun Easter. We love this holiday because it's a wonderful time to get together with family and friends and remember our Savior Jesus Christ. It's also the beginning of Spring and a sign of New Beginnings. Happy Easter!
