Easter

Easter turned out to be pretty good this year considering the circumstances. I love Easter, but it has been kind of hard Holiday as well. We buried Myra the day before Easter and so that is always in the back of my head during the festivities. We buried my Grandma the day before Easter this year as well so it will be double hard from now on. Though it is hard, it is also a wonderful day celebrating the Resurrection of our Savior and through that we get Eternal Life with our loved ones so it is kind of bittersweet. I am sad we buried them at this time but am so grateful to celebrate that we will one day be together as an Eternal Family.

Though we didn't get to do our week long activities reflecting on the Life of Christ the week before his Resurrection, we still had a wonderful Easter with many family and friends. 

The kids baskets all ready to go

Joey's loot! Since we were in Boise this year, I just brought their buckets and left their nice baskets at home! He got a Cars 2 book and a Lego transformer.

Emma's loot! She got a Pinkadoodles book (basically a huge coloring and drawing book of everything Pinkalicious) and a mini Tiana princess for her collection.

Joey is pretty happy with what he got :)

Emma loved hers too!

Emma just loves her Pinkadoodles book- she started on it right away :)

Keitra finally woke up and enjoyed her yummy treats too :)

I love my kids! I didn't tell them to pose or anything they just did it!

After Sacrament Meeting we met my family at Demeyer Park and had a yummy lunch and an Easter Egg Hunt

Dani bought this sign as the starting point for the hunt

On your marks, Get set......

They sure got a ton - Dani spoiled them! She even put money in some of the eggs.

After the park we headed to my Dad's house for a yummy Easter Dinner. We also watched the movie, Courageous. Wow, what an awesome movie! It is a must see!

We had a pretty good weekend! It was fun to see so much family and friends. We are so grateful for Ken and Trisha for taking us in. We had so much fun catching up with them and the kids had a lot of fun playing and got a long great. It's like we had never left Boise :)
