Easter












Easter and Spring Break are over. Although we didn't do much for Spring Break, it was nice to have Julian home and not have to be ready and out the door in the morning. We did Easter crafts and got ready for Easter. On Saturday we took Julian to see TMNT, which he was dying to see and then we dyed eggs. I don't know about you but dyeing eggs always seems so fun and then it ends up being a little chaotic. The kids seem to end up with the dye all over them or all over the table. I guess that is the fun of it right?
This year I decided I would have Easter dinner at my house. So I was up cooking, setting the table and doing Easter baskets. Sunday morning we were up bright and early for the egg hunt and looking for the baskets that the Easter bunny hid. Payton's was in her favorite hidding spot under the dining table and Julian's was hiding behind the plant in the living room. I know Micah could care less where his was or that he even had one, but I still had to do one for him. We were then off to church at 9 am.
We came home from church and my family came over for Easter dinner. I didn't have to do all the cooking. Just the ham, green bean casserole, apple torte and Jared's must -Nanna's rolls. My mom and Nana helped with the rest. We had a little emergency in the kitchen though. My poor mom picked up a really hot pan and had second degree burn on both hands. So she couldn't do much the rest of the day. We attempted to take a family photo but the kids were a little too tired and it didn't come out that well.
It was a busy day but I can't forget the real reason for this wonderful holiday. Sometimes you just get wrapped up in all the fun. I am so thankful for our Savior and for his sacrifice and his resurrection. He has blessed me and my family in so many ways. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter as me and my family had.

Wow, look at you. Everything is so beautiful and you are so organized. You are a super mom. I'm so jealous. My easter table didn't look anywhere near that good. And I had my in-laws in town. Oops.
And I LOVE the picture of Jared and Micah. It is SO adorable.
