Happy Easter!!!


As always our holidays are quiet compared to what we both grew up with, but we love it!

We started out on saturday having a fun get together with some friends. The Daw's hosted a fabulous Easter Hunt and BBQ. I forgot to take a picture, but it was snowing while Tyson was out cooking. What a trooper!! I loved the image of a t-shirt, long pants, a beanie and snow falling while the grill cooking. The kids had such a great time. It was hard to get shots of Carter and Mason who were a bit frantic about finding eggs. Carter wanted to find the loot, Mason wanted to eat each eggs treasures while he found them. :)

Saturday night we had the missionaries over to our house for dinner. We figured what better way to get our eggs dyed a bit fast them recruiting them to help. They were good sports and all white shirts remained white in the end! The pink seemed to want to spill the most as you will see the spots of spillage getting greater and greater.

Sunday we went to church where Mike and I had the privilege of speaking. It has never really bothered me to speak in church. Mike gets very nervous, but did a great job. It was nice to have a couple weeks to prepare about the true meaning of Easter. It helped us realize what traditions needed some down play, and which new ones to start.

When we got home we had the Easter Hunt for the kids. They loved finding their baskets and we were able to sit down a watch a little family movie. They actually all loved Far From Home.

I hope everyone was able to have a relaxing Easter that centered around the Savior. What a reminder of the most important events to take place in mankinds history. The Atonement and Resurrection of our brother Jesus Christ!

Happy Easter everyone!!!!!
