Easter

I am trying to get all caught up so here is a report on Easter. I wasn't very good at remembering to take pictures this year so I really only have pictures of the kids coloring eggs. I forgot to take pictures of the egg hunt and I also didn't have time to take pictures of everyone all dressed up before church (one of the drawbacks of 9 am church).

Emily showing off her Easter Bunny egg. I was really impressed with her egg drawing skills. I think she did better than I could have done.

Ethan was really concentrating on his drawing.

Emery tried to join in the action.

Everyone hard at work.

I am going to have the kids wear their Easter clothes again next week so that I can get a picture of them all dressed up. They looked so cute!!

This year we had a night time egg hunt with our neighbors. They had these awesome eggs that glow when you shine a flash light on them. The kids thought it was so fun to stay up late and do it in the dark. I think we are going to make it a yearly tradition. The Easter Bunny also visited this year and brought the kids a basket full of stuff. The only problem is that for some reason the Easter Bunny forgot that he was supposed to hide the eggs for them. Hopefully next year he won't be so forgetful ;)!!

Over all we had a great Easter weekend. The egg hunts, baskets and Easter bunny are all fun but I love Easter for it's true meaning. I am so grateful for my Savior and for the sacrifices he made for me and my family. I am so glad that because of Him I have the opportunity to be with my family forever. I hope that I will never take this granted and always work hard to do my best so that His sacrifice for me will not have been in vain.
