easter day

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday!  Sam played his Cello in Sacrament meeting with the ward choir.  He did an excellent job.  It was his first time performing in front of an audience with the Cello (he did play as background music once though).  Anyway, I'm so proud of him, he inspires me to want to play my flute more!

Our good friends, Shirley & Andy invited us over to their house for Easter dinner and to have an egg hunt.  Shirley's brother and his wife and their children were there too, we're all in the same ward.  Anyway, we had such a great time.

These pictures are of all the children after the egg hunt.  The little boy at the top of the stairs, him and Carlee have a "thing" going on.  They really are funny.  He'll say something to Carlee like give me a hug or kiss on the cheek.  And once she has he'll go around telling everyone, she kissed him.

Carlee and Preston find eggs.

After the egg hunt we did another one were we each could only find one egg.  Then once everyone had one we would open the eggs in numerical order and find that Shirley had put together the story, using the scriptures, of the true meaning of Easter,  thanks for that Shirley!

We had such a great time and we were so grateful to be able to spend time with friends on this holiday.

You got a little sneak peek of Carlee and Preston in their Easter outfits but there are more pictures to come I'm hoping to do a photo shoot today or tomorrow.

I'm really glad you were able to go to some friends house for Easter. While we were having the group over, I was hoping something like that would happen. Monika had their family and Scott and Sacias family at their home. So everyone was having dinner and enjoying the great day.

I think that is a great way to connect easter eggs and the story of the Savior. That is a great, I am going to copy that one. Darling pictures as usual.

We did the Easter egg story for a ward party one time. It was too large of a group to get the true meaning across affectively. Fun easter egg hunt...I love when they start to understand hunting for eggs and fun activities. Everyone looks great - love ya!
