We had a fun Easter weekend. We had a busy Saturday, but we were able to fit in coloring some Easter eggs. Jonah has been talking about finding Easter eggs for weeks now.
The kids had fun finding their Easter baskets Sunday morning. It only took them a few minutes and a couple of hints to find them.
Wyatt had fun sucking on everything in his basket and scooting around to get some eggs. He was really excited when he got one open.
Caitlyn and Jonah were so excited to find the eggs around the house.
They were pretty happy with their loot!
It is always hard to find the balance of having fun with the holiday and teaching the kids about the real meaning behind things. We had a few lessons on Easter and Christ's Resurrection and the kids seemed to understand. Caitlyn said in her prayer, "please help Wyatt to understand what Easter is really about, that it is about Jesus not the Easter bunny."
They looked so cute dressed up for church.
They all look so grown up here.
After church we headed to my mom's for some family time. It was so fun to have my Grandma here with us this year. Yesterday Jonah said to her, "your husband is dead, you will see him again when Jesus comes." You can always count on Jonah to say exactly what is on his mind.
My parents had an Easter egg hunt for the kids. They had fun and got loaded up with more loot. Jonah had us all laughing during dinner. He was yelling from the kitchen that he didn't like potatoes, I told him I only gave him a few so just eat them. Then he yelled, "mom, what do potatoes taste like?" A few minutes later he yells, "hey mom, I like potatoes." He is a funny kid.
They even had some Easter eggs for Wyatt and Rockwell. It was cute to see them go after them. One of the eggs opened and Rockwell started cleaning it up and Wyatt started shoving the cheerios in his mouth. It was a great Easter weekend. I love all the fun activities and time with family, but I am especially grateful that my Savior gave his life for me and that because he was resurrected I can be with my family forever.
