Easter Egg Hunts

We started off Easter a week early with dinner and an Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's. Megan was in town for the week so Peggy decided to hold Easter early while her family was still there. She and Lynette went all out again with tons of Easter Eggs and fun goodies in their baskets.

All the cousins had a lot of fun searching for the Easter Eggs that the Dads had hidden. With the growing number of grandkids the number of eggs has grown as well. Mike decided to decorate the trees while Matt happily skipped along tossing eggs from his basket. Here are the kids with their full baskets. And our annual picture of those in attendance.

We had a wonderfully low key celebration on Easter Sunday. The Easter bunny left eggs and baskets for the kids down in our basement. Aria was so excited, each egg garnered a little squeal. Chase was zooming around so fast I could hardly get a picture of him. We made Hunter and Michela work a little harder this year. Their eggs were a little harder to reach and see. Poor Michela had the hardest time finding her basket, but when she did she quickly started filling it with eggs. Once they were done they all broke open their eggs and started munching on their candy. Hunter is such a silly kid. Of course there were new books in their baskets. It isn't much of a holiday in our house if there aren't new books involved. Aria enjoying her new book with Daddy. And Michela decided to try and learn how to juggle with her eggs.

The best part about Easter this year was the fact that it was General Conference as well. What a perfect way to spend the day relaxing while listening to all the inspired talks. I was especially grateful for the wonderful talks about the Savior and his atonement and resurrection. I was so thankful for the spiritual food we received that day.
