Easter is great. I love Easter. The reasons to love it are endless. Easter means that winter's cold temperatures are closer to becoming a thing of the past for a few monthes. Easter means that color comes back in the form of bright flowers, blue skies, and sunny days. Easter means windows can be opened to let in fresh air. Easter means less sweaters, more flip flops. Easter means spring break, no school, and a week full of days filled with parks, playgrounds, and outdoor activities. (PS, regarding that, stay tuned for about 5 posts relating to all of our outdoor fun this spring break). Easter means egg hunts, candy filled baskets, and crazy dyed real eggs. But most important, Easter means that I once again remember how grateful I am for my Savior. For all that he did and gave so that I could be here with the blessings I have. I have been reading a lot of the articles from this months Ensign and have really felt something different or been touched differently about the Atonement and the Resurection. I know know that it is fun to get caught up in the "fun" parts of Easter, but this year I feel especially grateful to have been caught up a little more in the spiritual parts as well.
My kids had some cute and fun Easter outfits, none of which you will see here. Never did I get any pictures of them all together dressed up. So, my goal is to get them back in them this week and post them at some point. But trust me, they were cute. Here are some pictures from our Easter weekend activities:

Easter morning is always fun. We have church at 1:00 PM this year so we had a nice relaxing morning, a deliciously big breakfast, and an outdoor hunt. The kids also got to do a hunt at my parents and have treats and fun with both sides of our family. We really are so lucky to live within 15 minutes of both of our parents. I love having them so close and getting to share these days with them
HAPPY EASTER!
