This year was a very quiet Easter. Every year for the last 5 or so years Grandma and/or Grandpa Aikele have been with us AND we had not just moved either. So this year our ward did an Easter breakfast ending with an Easter egg hunt for the kids.

Corbin hunting
Natalie and Corbin now digging into the candy. The child to the right of Corbin is his friend from the Oregon Joy School....Nolan. They get excited when they see each other at church.
Then as we were getting ready to leave the Bishop was sitting in one of the chairs in the Foyer making balloon bunnies for all the kids. He even brought some over later in the week when he came to visit and give us our callings (he lives just around the corner from us).
So this year we skipped doing our own hunt and never got to the coloring either. On Sunday morning the kids woke up to their own Easter baskets. They actually had forgotten about the Easter bunny because every year since they were babies they have had to walk past their baskets to get to our room as we were all on separate levels. This year I took them both down and showed them what the Easter bunny brought.
The kids got an outdoor golf set to play in the yard, Natalie got her travel etch-a-sketch and a new bike helmet (because her other one disappeared and come to find out she left it sitting in a neighbors drive way and it got ran over even after multiple occasions of being told to quit leaving her stuff laying around in other people's yard/driveway), Corbin got his light up light saber and he also got his "new" (it's a hand-me-down) biked fixed (it just needed new tubes for the tires), then of course their chocolate bunnies. So all in all kids were happy.
Then for dinner it was the usual ham, funeral potatoes, and strawberry cottage cheese jell-o OH and for dessert...pie. Overall a quiet but nice Easter.
