Easter Festivities

 We had a low-key Easter this year. We opted out of the egg hunts and just spent time with family.

We decorated eggs at Grandma's and at home:

We woke up to snow on Saturday morning, but it warmed up for Sunday! We spent Saturday with my family- egg hunting, playing with cousins, eating yummy food, learning about the Resurrection, and of course holding Annie!

 

 

On Easter morning we woke to see that the Easter Bunny had visited! The kids explored their baskets and hunted for hidden eggs and we rushed to get ready for church at 8:30 a.m.! Whew!!

 Church was great! I always love Easter Sunday. Such an uplifting day. For FHE we watched a short video and read each of the scriptures that went along with it. I felt that it was important to make sure the kids realized that, thought they may read about and watch a lot of things that they know are pretend and made up, THIS is a REAL story. Jesus is a REAL person who suffered horrible things for all of us. He really did die and he WAS risen!
