Happy Easter!

We had two days of Easter festivities, starting with the day we got home from the cabin (Saturday) at the Palmers. The kids did a little Easter egg hunt in the front yard and traded in their eggs for a bag full of goodies from Grandma & Grandpa. We had grilled hamburgers and hot dogs for dinner and then just relaxed and chatted with the fam.
On Easter morning, the kids woke up egg-cited ;) to see what the Easter Bunny had left them!! It's a tradition in our house that the Bunny leaves a trail of plastic eggs leading to the kids' baskets. Everyone loved their treats!

The loot

Gavin has a little pre-breakfast snack!

I tried to get a couple pictures of the kids in their Easter attire before church, but that didn't really work so well, especially since we were running late already! So I decided to take advantage of the beautiful church lawn and snap some shots after church. The result was MUCH better! Oh, and it was a *cool* 94 degrees as we were driving home from church and my boys were sweltering in their long sleeve shirts and sweater vests!We had Easter dinner with my family at my sister's house. Of course, I had too much to eat, but oooooohhhhhh, who doesn't love great food?! Yummy!! The kids participated in another little egg hunt to finish off the evening.

I promised Matt I post a picture with me in it, so here you are! Not the most flattering angle, but it'll have to do!

Of course Easter wouldn't be complete without a tribute to our Savior, Jesus Christ, and the price he paid for us so that we ALL can be resurrected and return to live with our Father in Heaven again someday. No greater gift!!
