Easter 2009

Coloring Easter eggs! Ross, my dear OCD Husband, bless his heart! haha He was borderline going to snap the whole time, it was pretty funny! And he is so "Engineer" about it too! Like perfectly measuring each cup with exactly 5 oz. of water each, and each egg had to sit in the water for 5 min. each to get the best color results! lol Really?? You think a 4 yr. old and a 2 yr. old have that kind of patience?? haha it was pretty funny! This kit that I got for coloring eggs was cute, there was these little silly face stickers the kids got to put on the eggs. Good times! :)

We had a wonderful Easter this year, even though we spent it with just us, no family this year. It was a busy weekend. Saturday our friends invited us to a big Easter egg hunt up in the city that they go to every year. It was at the Police and Fireman training center, and it was a big to do! There was a ton of people there, they had bouncers for the kids, the police horse's, the police helicopter, a toy raffle for the kids. They also had free snacks, popcorn, Cotton candy, snow cones, soda etc! It was so fun, and the kids had a blast! Reece actually won a baby alive in the toy raffle! That was a fun way to spend our Saturday before Easter!

Reece just walked casually over and picked up 2 eggs and that was enough for her! lol

I won!

pooped on the way home! The Egg hunt didnt start until 2 in the afternoon, right when she usually naps!

Easter Sunday was wonderful, and the spirit was sooo strong! My friend had a special Easter lesson she was teaching the Young Women, and had numerous musical numbers featuring Christ of course, and scriptural readings in between the musical numbers. I sang, I heard him come, which is a beautiful song about Christ and his life. There were many beautiful songs performed, and it was a very spiritual lesson! I was so excited I got to be apart of her special Lesson about Christ, his wonderful life, great atoning sacrifice, and the knowledge of his wonderful Resurrection! What a blessing to have that knowledge!

I know that my Redeemer lives, what comfort this sweet sentence gives, he lives, he lives who once was dead, he lives, my ever living head! ( verse from one of my favorite hymns "I know that My Redeemer lives")http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAJYMK0dy8M check out this video of the beautiful Hymn about our Savior. Oh and of course my absolute favorite, Reflections of Christ, click on the picture of Christ at the top right of my blog! ;) Enjoy!

It was nice to have a break from Primary, I know that sounds bad, but I needed some enrichment myself! ;)

just got home from Church, we normally get Easter baskets in the morning. But since Church is at 9 am, and I had to be there Early that day, I had to practice with the Choir, and Practice for the song I sang in Young Women's. So we did baskets after church, and tried to get some pictures after Church as well!

An attempt to get a family picture, not such a great one, kids cut off, but at least there smiling!
