Holiday Happiness

I love Easter. I realized this year that it just might be my favorite holiday. We had decided as a family to inform the Easter bunny that he is to come on Saturday so we can spend Sunday focused on Christ. Unfortunately this year it didn't happen that way, but nonetheless I love Easter. It is a holiday focused on a priceless and perfect gift from our Father in Heaven. The resurrection of Jesus Christ. I couldn't think of a better event to celebrate. I love that it is on Sunday..every year. It is a day we can spend as a family without the rush of the normal weekdays. And an added bonus...Easter has the best candy!

We kicked off the celebration with dinner and an egg hunt at Julia's house on Friday night. Carter was SUPER excited to find eggs. I found Drew on multiple occasions hunkered down devouring chocolate!

The silly bunny left bunny prints all over the front room and left some fun surprises for the kids. Maylee slept later than the boy so she joined in on the fun once she was up!

Drew was super excited about his shaving kit while Carter was all about the candy. 

They went for a short ride in their new wagon before Maylee got up. The little princess was thrilled about her new doggie book. She love love loves dogs!

 

Church was a bit of a whirlwind. Maylee was exhausted by the time Sacrament meeting was over so I ended up taking her home to bed. Alas...I didn't get a picture of the kids in their adorable outfits. I will have to try and sneak one in another Sunday.

I am so grateful for my elder brother Jesus Christ, for the Atonement and the Resurrection. What a beautiful holiday and time to spend with family remembering the most importing things in life.
