We love celebrating Easter. Not only is it a time to remember the Resurrection of Christ, but also the excitement of Spring. The hills around our home are turning green. The flowers are blooming and it is just warm enough to want to spend as much time as possible outside. The girls went crazy as they pulled out every egg from my bin of decorations. Taylor shook a few wondering if there were already treats inside. After a few weeks of pretend egg hunts we finally attended our first official one of the season. Janelle invited us to her ward's Easter Egg hunt while we were in Las Vegas. Our second was our own ward's Easter party and then, of course, the Easter Bunny showed up at our house Easter morning. The girls were so thrilled. A few days after Easter I was finally over the millions of eggs on the floor and decided to hide them until next year.
Here is Jena hiding the eggs for Taylor to find.
Another thing we love about the Easter season is decorating egg or bunny shaped cookies. At our Easter park day the girls meticulously decorated their cookies. Jena puts on as much as she can... even if it is no longer sticking to the frosting. Every part needs to be covered and with as many different decorations as possible. Taylor found some sprinkles that made the greatest sound when she shook the bottle. Finally when more sprinkles were on her plate than on her cookie, I convinced her it looked perfect and was time to eat her creation.
This year my mom picked out (and dad paid for :D ) the kids Easter outfits. My sister and I bravely tried to take pictures of them together. Cody was not really convinced, but after making every funny noise or face that the two of us could come up with... here were some of the favorites...
Our three little babies!
I am so grateful for all that my Heavenly Father gives me. Especially his Son, Jesus Christ and my wonderful Family and Friends. What a special time of year to celebrate Easter!
