Our Story...: Easter Fun!

We always look forward to Easter. I don't think it's a coincidence that our favorite holidays are surrounded by the Savior. His birth and resurrection are something to celebrate for sure.

Our family had a great time finding eggs and enjoying our Easter baskets. I always love taking Easter pics as well. This year I didn't prepare like I had in past years. I may have spaced it since we got back from Maui only a few days before. The kids had a blast, they learned more about their Savior and the pics turned out cute. I call that a WIN in my book!

This year we hid "special eggs". They were eggs covered in glitter. We had the kids keep those separate from the other eggs. The glitter eggs were numbered 1-12 and had something special in each one. Starting with number one we went from the Passover all the way to the Resurrection of the Savior in egg number 12. The kids loved hearing the story of the Savior and asked questions along the way. We wanted them to remember the true meaning of why we celebrate this day. This will be a new tradition in our home.

How very grateful we are for the Savior and the sacrifice He made for each and every one of us. Because of Him we can live with our sweet little family throughout the eternities. Because of Him we can find purpose in our lives. Because of Him we can find joy and happiness in our every day.

Jack and Beckham were the first to wake up. They were so excited to see their baskets waiting for them in the living room. Everyone got a book, movie, toothbrush, a couple little candies and a chocolate bunny to top it all off. They were thrilled! I had the boys wait to find eggs until Quinnie bear woke up. To them it may have seemed like forever, haha. We made bunny pancakes and watched an Easter show while we waited.

Enjoying bunny pancakes and Curious George Easter edition :)

Quinn's awake!

This little one was happy to get her basket. She LOVED everything in it. She may have been a little distracted by the new movie playing on the TV, haha.
