Easter Sunday

We had a lovely Easter Sunday. In Sacrament meeting the kids got to sing with the Primary. Garen didn't sing but made faces. Then Sophie tried to go up there to be with her siblings and Garen yells down, "no Sophie you can't come down here." And it ended with Garen grabbing his friends face a little to hard trying to whisper something in his ear. By the time the primary kids were done singing Andy and I were laughing and a little red faced.
It was so nice to go to Sunday School with Andy (something I haven't done in years) Then have a lovely lesson in Young Womens. It's so nice to be reminded of that ultimate sacrifice made by Jesus Christ that answers our question is there life after death. Yes, and we can live with him again and be perfect through him! I feel truly blessed to be a part of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. And extremely grateful for the Atonement so I can repent for my daily wrong doings as an imperfect person.

These are the best pictures I got of the kids right before church-

When we got home we were changing our clothes to head to our friends house for Easter dinner and when we came done Sophie was zonked on the couch. I guess all the Easter excitement and no nap made her a very tired girl-

The kids were so excited to find their Easter baskets this morning!!!

Egg dying, Egg hunting, and Grandparents

Our ward Easter dinner and egg hunt was really fun this year. I have no idea where Garen was during this time bu the ended up with some eggs so it did okay-

Saturday Andy's parents came for the day. We had an Easter egg hunt and colored eggs. And the kids got some fun stuff from Jann and Boyd. In the evening Grandma even came to the movie Rio with us.

Ward Easter Egg hunt and Breakfast

This morning I took the kids to our ward Easter Brunch. The food was great the kids had a wonderful time even though they didn't find as many eggs as they wanted. Maddie came out a bit late and only got one egg but her friends were very nice and everyone was offering her some of theirs. I wish Andy could have joined us, but we had a good time anyway.

To some it may look strange finding eggs in the snow, but we were just happy the wind wasn't blowing like crazy-

Checking out their treats-

Easter

I love this message about the true meaning of Easter. I can't even comprehend what Christ went through, but I am truly grateful for his sacrifice; so that one day, despite all my mistakes I can become perfect through him. Happy Easter


It was so nice that Sports Authority was closed on Sunday and Andy was home! We started the day with the kids finding their Easter baskets. Then we headed to 9AM church. I taught the Sunbeams while Andy carried Sophie around to make her happy. In sharing time the girl dressed like Mary Magdalene and told the story of her friend Jesus-the kids loved it. When we got home the kids had sandwiches shaped like bunnies and flowers.

Later in the afternoon the kids had their Easter egg hunt. They found all their eggs very quickly and loved the treats inside.

Then we had our Easter dinner of Ham, cheese potatoes, green bean casserole and yellow jello jigglers.

It was a wonderful day and I love being together with my little family all day long.

Later that night Maddie brought in her new bunny all dressed "for school". I thought it was pretty funny-
