Easter

Our Easter celebrations started on Saturday morning.  We had a ward pancake breakfast at the church (at 8am!) and then an egg hunt.  The kids had a great time and had too much candy to eat! That afternoon they got their Easter present, instead of baskets we got them a movie and they had fun watching it.  On Sunday we went to church - the girls all got Easter hats.  I even had a 'new' Easter dress (thanks for letting me borrow it  Rachel).  That afternoon we hid a few of our own eggs and let the kids hunt for them.  We color code the eggs so each one gets a certain color, each of the kids had an empty egg to represent the empty tomb - they didn't seem real impressed =).  We had a yummy dinner that ended with Strawberry Creampuff Pie!  I am thankful for the opportunity to teach the kids more about the atonement and resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ and for the freedom to worship him.
