Easter

Easter this year was pretty low key.  I love that as the kids are getting older we can focus more and more on the true meaning of holidays.  We read and discussed in the old testament about the Holy Week.  The bishop in our ward sent out a text and a thought every day that week with a passage of scripture attached.  It was really nice reading and talking about it for the whole week.  I'm so grateful for my testimony of Christ and for His willingness to do what was necessary for us to have a way to return to live with Him and our Heavenly Father again.  

We did a little egg hunt in the backyard and it is so fun watching the younger ones run around collecting eggs.  :)  Then of course there was the trading of candy after the egg hunt.  We went to Crys and Alan's house for dinner and had yummy ham and potatoes and rolls and chocolate cake.  It was delightful!    

The kids are pretty good about sharing and making sure they don't hog all the goodies.  

Finley was running all over the place.  Fortunately, the snow melted before Easter.  Although I think it snowed again after this.  ha ha.

Showing off their loot.

We also got chalk and the girls laid it all out in rainbow order.  :)
