Easter

We had a little treat waiting for the boys when they woke up Easter morning - I guess I only took a pic of Skyler with his bubble maker.  He was loving it.

Since it was General Conference Sunday, we did not have regular church meetings.  We listened to conference in the morning and tried to get to Nana and Papa's by noonish.  We started with an egg hunt - the type of hunt I grew up with - REAL eggs.  Although, Papa and Nana threw in a few plastic eggs this year with change and made a few kids REALLY happy.

Despite counting the eggs before and trying to remember how many, I think we still lost one.  I think that's a tradition too.

After the egg hunt, we roll the eggs - smashing them together to get them ready for "Egg Stuff" (creamed eggs over toast)  

Nana is busy in the kitchen getting the "egg stuff" nice and ready.

Devri added Sticky Buns to the lunch an I think that should be a tradition.

Here's a pic that Devri captured of us making the egg stuff.  I love my family.  We always have a great time together.

After our big lunch - we zoomed off to another Easter celebration with Shayne's family.  Lucky us - and really lucky kids!

Skyler enjoying his loot.

My amazing dessert that I made...   I do love desserts. 

At the end of the hunt, Grandma did a special egg hunt that all pertained to the reason for Easter - reflecting on the crucifixion of Christ and His Resurrection.  I'm grateful my boys had a lot of fun on this day and I'm grateful they were attentive and willing to cherish those quiet moments as we reflected on the greatest gift given to us.   I'm so grateful we get to enjoy these moments with our grandparents and cousins, we're so lucky to have so much family close to us.
