Happy Easter

Happy Easter

For an Enrichment class at church we made

these great Easter books about the last week of

our Savior's life. Each night the week of Easter we were able to

sit and read through this booklet together. It was beautifully done,

with quotes, scriptures, and of course pictures. It really brought

the sacrifice Christ made to life for our family, it was hard to read

without feeling the Spirit testify that these things are true.

It was really nice to sit as a family and discuss and share

testimony of our feelings. This will be a tradition in

our family for years to come.

We had lots of fun making our Easter/Spring sugar cookies
to share with our neighbors.

The girls take this tradition very seriously!!

Then the next night we colored Easter Eggs. This is

always fun to see the different colors they can

come up with and then remembers who's is who's

when it comes time to eat them!!

Then Sunday morning getting ready for church,

getting to wear the new Easter/Spring dress even

if there is a threat of rain/snow that day!!

The girls did a great job picking out their dresses this year.

I think they looked beautiful!

Raychel will be 10 in few weeks, she is so

beautiful and very ladylike, she is very

sweet and kind, she is growing up so fast!

Jolene looks so pretty, she knew how she wanted

her hair for days, all curly! She was so proud of

the finished look. She knows what she wants...

all the time!!

We had to make hair bows that matched of course!!

Sunday afternoon the girls hunted for Easter

Eggs....

with the crazy weather they discovered there were

some outside......
as well as inside!!


After the Easter Egg hunt the girls watch a movie

together while we finished up dinner. I love

it when they do this. They really do love each other.

The don't like to be apart for very long. I can only

hope it keeps getting stronger!

Then dinner was served!! I love it when Ward cooks!

He put the ham on the pellet BBQ, pouring the honey mixture

over it often, it was the best ham, it melted in your mouth!!

YUMMY!!

And of course the Easter Bunny Cake, just like my

mom use to make for me and my siblings!!

Some family traditions are worth doing!

This really was one of the best Easters!
