I love when Easter and General Conference
fall on the same day.
What could be better than celebrating
the resurrection of our Savior
and spending time with our families?
Our family celebrates Easter with
many gatherings and traditions.
This year we started off our traditions with
Family Home Evening & Easter Egg Hunt on Palm Sunday.
Alexis & the neighbor's black chickens pose for the camera.
Doug's family gets together once a month for FHE.
It's great to see his siblings and their children.
Our kids have grown up with their cousins.
Jonny had a hard time finding his eggs this year.
He had a hard time finding his Easter basket too.
Could it be he has alot on his mind?
Emily on this chilly afternoon.
At least it didn't snow this day!
Hannah loves these traditions.
She's a believer in the Easter Bunny.
I asked her if she knew
the real reason we celebrate Easter.
She used some pretty big words like
Atonement, Crucifixion, & Resurrection.
I think she gets it. :)
I love that my older children still insist
on participating in dyeing Easter Eggs.
(I liked the UofU egg)
They wouldn't miss it.
Even if we have to do it at 11:00 at night!
Some very pretty colors turned out this year!
Cute boys supsercede the festivities sometimes...
The best part of Easter this year
was watching Conference with my family.
I loved what President Dieter F. Uchtdorf said,
"On this Easter Sunday, and every day,
as we contemplate with reverence
and awe how our Savior embraces us,
comforts us and heals us,
let us commit to become his hands,
that others through us may feel his loving embrace."
I also love cooking dinner for my family,
my parents and my brother.
Can you believe my football/wrestling/rugby son
folded these napkins for me on his own
to look like bunny ears?
He's a man of many talents...
I also liked how Elder Russell M. Nelson
spoke on "Generations Linked in Love."
In the end, isn't that what it is all about?
My favorite part of Easter...
...is family.
