Thank You, Easter Bunny! CLUCK CLUCK!

Of course, Easter isn't about the eggs or the candy or the baskets of goodies and gifts.  It isn't about the ham dinner with potatoes gratin and all the fixin's.  It isn't about the fun times with family and it even isn't about the musical presentation at church.  It's about the Savior and His sacrifice on our behalf.  That He gave His life for each of us so that we might overcome death and sin and return to Him and our Father once more.   That is what Easter is about.  We all know that, but what a tremendous blessing it is to have all those other things as well.  May we all take time to remember the different reasons for the different seasons, while we continue with some of the fun traditions that bring us joy and closer as a family.  

Happy Easter (4 months ago) from ours to yours!

The Friday before, Dax transformed into an Easter bunny at Preschool.

"Oh my precious!  My egg!  I will hold it and love it and squeeze it!"

First things first.  Off to church.

HAHAHA!  Not only was it Easter Sunday, it was also April Fool's
Day!  Some of the kids candy eggs had dog food or rocks in them
instead of candy!  APRIL FOOLS!!!!

Marley had a special April First hairdo.

As did I.  

The kids love looking for their Easter baskets.  Dax's was hidden in the dryer.

Grandma Leslie and Gramma Gramma came over and brought Easter baskets
that the Easter bunny apparently left over there at their house for them. 

To end the day we had dinner at the Reeds home in Eagle Mountain.  They
hunted for Easter eggs with their cousins.  

Easter is a special day for its purpose, what it means to our eternal plan of happiness and for its traditions and excuse to build memories with our family.
