Easter

We crammed all of our Easter fun into one day.  We started with church.  There were some beautiful musical performances, as well as a great testimony from one of our return missionaries.  While I was loving just feeling the spirit, Daxton got ahold of my phone.  I think he's paying attention...right? .

With early morning church the kids didn't have time to find their baskets beforehand, so it was the first thing they did after getting home.  The annual scavenger hunt for their baskets.  

Wait?  Are those integrals?

Success!

After they came down a little from the sugar high from their baskets, we set about dying eggs.  We kept it pretty simple this year, but I love the chance to be creative.

Baskets, check. Eggs, check.  Easter egg hunt...begin!

The egg hunt was a little different this year.  Each kid could find twelve eggs, but couldn't open any of them until the hunt was over.  They were shocked to find what was in their eggs.  Some of them contained candy.  Some of them contained money.  And some of them contained spicy Cheetos, jerky, bag tags, Cambrie's car key, or a few golden tickets that could be exchanged for a free tank of gas, or a free pass on chore day.  There were definitely a lot of laughs as they opened their eggs to see what was inside.

We finished off our day with an Easter feast and watched an episode of The Chosen.  I'm grateful for my testimony of the Risen Savior, knowing that he is alive, that he loves me, and will always be there for me and my family.
