We have had a nice weekend. I really enjoy Easter. We do our “Easter bunny” celebrating on Saturday. Then we celebrate the real reason for the holiday on Sunday. We had a beautiful meeting at church. I was once again reminded of how grateful I am for the Savior and his atonement.
Here are a few pictures of yesterday’s celebrations:
Our traditional egg hunt:
The kids searching through their eggs to find their treasures. Candy is good; but money is better.
A little egg dying:
(which seemed so much easier this year. The kids are finally at a good age to do this.)
I had a photo shoot in the afternoon. Jonathan had to work so the kids rode along in the car. I decided to take a few of Tess while we were there. I tried to get her to wear this bunny hat. She really didn’t like it.
…and our favorite part of the evening. Our glow in the dark egg hunt.
I used glow sticks, folded in fourths, taped, and then stuffed inside the plastic eggs. They thought it was so cool. We let them hide them several times for each other.
I think this is our new tradition.
It was a beautiful weekend.
…and a little more about what this weekend means to me. ENJOY!!!

Your family is just precious!
You are so great to your kids! I hope you are surviving! So glad you get to go back to Saba. Have a great time, and relax! I miss you lots! Wish I was around to help.
So fun! I love the glow in the dark Easter hunt idea. I was feeling kind of lame at Easter this year. But we did do Easter dinner with the Forreds, Bagleys, Dunlaps and Wilsteads! Wish you could've been there!
P.S. Jaron and I are writing his personal statement for res apps. If you have any advice, please do share!!
Love the idea of the glow sticks in the eggs. Looks like it was a great Easter. Tess is looking bigger and bigger!
So fun! I'm going to have to try the glow in the dark egg hunt next year. The kids would love it!
