Easter!

Easter is one of my favorite holidays! I love to see everything come to life and have a new fresh start! This year hasn't been your typical spring Easter season. We have had our fare share of cold wind, snow & hail storms, and rainy weather, so I think things are still a few weeks off. The great part is that is just around the corner...I hope! The Easter Bunny made a Saturday morning appearance and filled the girls baskets with some fun things. The girls went hunting in hopes of finding their Easter treats. Makell found her basket in the oven. Good thing I wasn't in the mood for some early morning baking. Kourtney found her basket in the office closet. It took her a while to finally discover where it was. I'm thinking how nice it could be to clean closets while eating candy.;) It seemed like Kaitlyn looked for a good thirty minutes before she found her basket. She eventually noticed a purple handle sticking up on top of the hutch in the kitchen. She gave us the excuse that her eyes were not fully opened yet. We ventured down to the city Easter Egg hunt. Technically Kourtney could have participated this last year but she refused to. She said she was to old. Reality check, my daughter is maturing and growing up. Kaitlyn and Makell

Sunday we spent the day reflecting on and pondering the real meaning of Easter. It was wonderful because we didn't have all the distractions of candy and eggs to take us away from thinking about Jesus Christ. I am so grateful I can say I know that our Savior lives. How blessed I am to have the Holy Ghost testify of the truths to me and have those feelings to gain a testimony that he still lives.


Later Sunday night we got together with my family at my brothers house for an Easter dinner and to celebrate a few birthday's. My brother Matt and sister-in-law Janette put together an egg hunt for the kiddos. With the rainy weather, it was held indoors which didn't seem to bother the kids. The kids had a ball and it was fun enjoying every one's company.
