Happy Easter!

Gage got to tackle the front yard.

I was a little more creative hiding his eggs.

A nice (sanctioned) Easter dinner.

"You said these blankets were for the girls!"

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday. The weather was just amazing. Church was Stake Conference, so we didn't have to be there until 10:00, which meant sleeping in for everyone. The talks were wonderful. Gage actually came up to me while I was making dinner Tuesday and said, "I heard this neat story about some people that were taking a test and some of the students were cheating and one guy said he would turn them all in." I said, "Gage, that was from a talk in church on Sunday. You have a good memory." "Oh, yeeeeah," he replied. Such a smart little boy.

We skipped the local egg hunt on Saturday to do our own on Sunday. Peter helped the kids dye some eggs for the hunt, the rest were plastic and some of the eggs were numbered for a special devotional about Jesus Christ. Each egg had a small reminder inside along with a scripture that described the object's purpose. The kids really enjoyed discovering the meaning behind each object. We had watched several videos online done by our church prior to the egg hunt and those really helped the kids mentally connect what we read about in the scriptures. The rest of the eggs were filled with jelly beans :)

We had a truly lovely day and feel so blessed to have children that appreciate the sacrifice of our Savior.
