Easter.

We had a very pleasant Easter this year and feel blessed that Josh made the drive to spend the weekend with us. Church is at 9 (and I had to be there by 8:30) so we were up nice and early to see what goodies the Easter bunny brought. 

Five baskets is a lot.

 

 

 We quick got everyone ready for church and snapped a few photos and I regret that we didn't get a family photo! Poor Jefferson was behind the camera this time around. 

 

  Bentley was not amused with pictures....

 

 

 

After church we headed up to Gramzee and Grandpa Paul's house for an egg hunt and Easter dinner.

This is Pasque, a visiting dog for the weekend that my mom may or may not have saved and found a home for. Taytum was in love with this dog.

 My kids loved the egg hunt and had to find certain assigned eggs based on design... so Andi was all the sparkly eggs, Tay was the zebra print, etc... and inside was money for them to take to Disneyland. They loved it!

We tried to really focus on the true meaning of Easter. Our FHE was on the resurrection the week prior and we really tried to use the Easter vocabulary a lot and familiarize our kids with what those words and Easter events truly mean.  Listening to our kids explain what the resurrection is and means in simple, yet accurate terms is wonderful and makes me hopeful that their little testimonies are planting and growing. 

I am so thankful that He is risen.
