Happy Easter!

With life being so busy lately, it seems like Easter kind of crept up on us. But Easter was an amazing day. We did so many things and loved every minute of it. It is one of those days when relaxation met fun met family time. I can't complain!
Saturday night, Harrison laid out his basket and eggs for the Easter bunny to fill. And then Sunday morning he woke up to quite a treat!

We prepped him about the candy but he was still more excited about his new Woody and Buzz toys.
Then he remembered the candy and it was hard to get him to stop eating.

Then it was time for church. We had a great time with some wonderful lessons and talks. It really puts this whole season back into perspective. What a blessing Christ's Resurrection is in each one of our lives!

After church (and naps) we colored our Easter Eggs. This is Harrison's first year really participating and he loved every minute of it. I think he dyed all his eggs orange. Unless the orange was full and we could talk him into a different color.



Notice the shirt change...he had a little run in with the coloring while standing on the chair. Oops!
My strong boys with their egg muscles.
Then came dinner and the traditional eating of the Jello Eggs. I HATE Jello...too many hospital stays where Jello was one of the only things I could eat. Anyway, once a year I make an exception and make Jello Eggs. We have special molds from my mom and it is fun to do. So, then every year we eat Jello Eggs.

Then we found some time in the evening to take our Harrison's new game and have our first really board game experience with him. He loved it and did really well. It probably helped that he won (luck of the cards) and it didn't take very long. He wanted to just play with the pieces for a while, but we did make it through a whole game. He also figured out pretty fast that he wanted the cards with 2 colors and not just 1.
All in all we had a great Easter. We relaxed, talked with family, spent the day together, continued some Easter traditions and most importantly we were able to remember just what Easter is all about. I am so thankful for Christ and his Atonement and Resurrection. It gives me such peace and hope in my life! Hope everyone else also had a great Easter!
