Easter Fun!!

It seems like Easter really snuck up on us this year . . . and then it was over as fast as it came!  We finally got around to coloring eggs Saturday night (the night before Easter)--at least we did it!  Notice the santa table cloth on the table . . . wrong season and holiday, but oh well.  Zander and McKay were especially excited to color eggs and whipped through their allotted eggs super fast, McKay in particular.

 

Easter Sunday began with Church and a nice sacrament meeting that focused on the Atonement.  What a great way to begin the day.  Oh and I should mention that the boys all got up well before 7:00 am to find their Easter baskets. We had smoked ham, yummy potatoes, deviled eggs, and peaches for dinner.  Which was followed by some yummy jelly bean nest cookies thanks to Pinterest (mom's new addiction).  Dad and mom then spent 30 minutes stuffing eggs with leftover candy for an easter egg hunt in the back yard.  Chase volunteered to hide the eggs for a payment of candy.  Trey, Layton, Zander, and McKay had fun trying to find the eggs.  Declan had zero interest, he just wanted to wander around.  The rest of the evening was spent playing outside as it was a beautiful day!

 

I am so grateful for my Savior and His willingness to suffer for my sins, sorrow, pain, etc.  I am grateful for the example that He set for me.  I am thankful that we have this time of year to focus on what the Savior did for each and every one of us.
