Easter Fun!

Easter was really a fun time at our house this year. And the weather was gorgeous all weekend. We drove over to Tetonia for the annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday morning. My spirits were high as we arrived to find bright plastic eggs dotting the GRASS of all things! Last year the boys were dressed in full winter gear and the eggs were hidden in the footprints in the snow! The boys waited anxiously for their chance to snatch all the eggs and soon the whistle blew. Deacon bolted out but soon realized he was surrounded by all kinds of crazy kids and he quickly retreated! Papa helped him find his way back out and he was able to get some eggs! Liston had a bout of stagefright last year at the egg hunt but this year he was focused. He darted out, head down and determined. He filled his basket well and was running around looking for more!


On Sunday we talked more of the resurrection and tried to get the boys to understand that Easter ment more than easter baskets and candy! The sunshine was a perfect backdrop for the occasion, thawing the winter snow and bidding new life. I'm so grateful for the Savior and His atonement and Resurrection.
After church the boys discovered that the easter bunny had visited while they were changing their church clothes and they headed to the back yard for another hunt! Even Coleman found an egg.

It looks like your snow has melted that is great. The boys look like they had lots of fun. It was pretty lively around here with Brian and Julie's kids playing together. Hope that they got their Easter money.
