We had a very calm and low key Easter this year. The past couple of years, we have had family in town. This year it was just us. While we really love having family around, Easter with just the four of us, was perfect. The night before, we dyed eggs. As you can see, Kade was excited and Tadd was mad he wasn't eating in his highchair.
Once Dad came to hang with Tadd, he was happy. That kid adores his dad. It's pretty adorable.
All of our dyed eggs.
Kade wrote his name on his egg and then turned it brown. He wanted it to go into every. color.
Easter Sunday is my favorite Sunday of the year. Easter is my favorite holiday. Ever. I love everything about Easter. Especially celebrating the resurrection of Christ. The atonement and resurrection are two things that I am grateful for everyday. The blessings we have and will receive from those two things are never ending.
Christ died for us. For me. I'm eternally grateful.
This year we decided to do Easter baskets after church in effort to put more focus on Christ.
The boys looked so handsome in their suits.
Kade is such a poser. Tadd on the other hand, would rather eat.
One huge downside of not having family in town for conference was that we couldn't get a picture all together.
Once the outside had been searched thoroughly, they wandered inside to see what the Easter bunny had left.
I really love Target's dollar spot. Like, REALLY.
This was when Tadd really started to understand what was going on. He'd had some food in him at this point and was less distracted.
The Easter bunny was crazy and left some way to high for Kade to reach. Dad helped.
That evening we had a yummy dinner in our backyard. Steak, potatoes and roasted asparagus, peppers, and tomatoes. It was a perfect evening. We ended the night by skype-ing with our families.
Holy smokes that's a long post. At what point did you get bored?
