Friends, Family, Food and Fun

What a busy, but FUN weekend we had to celebrate Easter! We started on Friday with an egg hunt for playgroup with a little lunch. I think I always get more out of playgroup than the kids! It is so nice to be able to sit with such great women and have an adult conversation, I love it!!

On Saturday we went to the ward egg hunt. The kids had a blast. By now Alex is finding a couple more eggs because he now realizes that there is candy in each egg! It is hard to keep him motivated because he just wants to sit down and eat the candy he has. Funny boy!!

And Sunday was the best! Cooper and Alex woke up first so they got to go downstairs first to see what the Easter Bunny left them. Nick and Chloe were total sleepy heads and woke up just in time to get ready for church. They did get to take a quick peek at their baskets as we were off to church. The Easter Bunny hid the eggs at our house after church since he knew how hard it is for Mom to get everybody ready for church on time! And I think we will make this a tradition because the kids look much cuter looking for eggs after they were all ready rather than in their jammies with crazy hair!!

In Young Womens we watched the Lamb of God video. What a perfect way to end our church day! To really focus on the true meaning of Easter and actually be able to visualize what Christ went through in his last seven days. I am so thankful for the Atonement in my life and hopefully I will be able to teach my children why we really celebrate Easter.

Later on we got to go have Easter dinner with my family and of course we had another egg hunt for the kids. I think Easter is officially my favorite holiday. I love the weather, all the cute spring colors and it doesn't help that my dad's ham is my favorite! I am so thankful to have such a great family and especially greatful that they are all (almost all!)so close!
