Easter

I know this is a little late, but we had a good Easter. On Saturday of Easter weekend, we took the kids to a neighborhood egg hunt. They were only allowed to get 6 eggs each, but I think they still had fun(even though their faces in the second picture seem to tell us otherwise).

Later that afternoon, we dyed eggs. We did it while Camden was napping, so he didn't join in on the dying fun.

 

After dying eggs, that evening, we read about the Easter story from the New Testament with the kids.
On Sunday, we had Stake Conference, so Danny left before 7 for an early morning meeting. Once all of the kids were up, I let them get into their Easter baskets and then they hunted for the eggs that were inside the house(the Easter Bunny left like 200 hundred eggs, so that kept them plenty busy). Then we had breakfast(boiled eggs and some of the best cinnamon rolls I've made ever). Then they got dressed and we took a few pictures in their new Easter outfits. We didn't have time to hunt down the outside eggs before church so they did that after we got home.

We had a nice meal and another egg hunt at Gawbie and Grandpa's later that afternoon. Gawbie also read the Easter story to the kids and gave them each a little Easter prize(a picture of Christ, a pinwheel, and some candy).
Easter is such a special holiday and I am so grateful for Jesus Christ, His life, His example, and His atonement that make it possible for each of us to be forgiven for our sins and to return one day to live with our Father in Heaven and our families.
