He is Risen

Easter morning!  A great time to reflect on our many blessings and the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and his atonement and resurrection.
And then to hunt for eggs.

 

 

 

 

It is a little sad that this is our last Easter (and last weekend) in this house.  We plan to move next weekend and it's a little sad to leave.  I can't believe we've been here 8 1/2 years.  I just have to keep reminding myself that we are going to create all kinds of new and wonderful memories at our new house.

And then it's time to get all dressed up for church.  The babies love the nursery at church and they have the best nursery leaders ever.  Seriously, the nursery leader is totally spectacular!

 

 

 

Happy Easter!

"Egg"stravaganza

It's that time of year again.  Gotta decorate the Easter eggs.  Ben, Emma, and Hannah joined us.

Ausitn and Kadence wanted to dip every egg in every color over and over.  I tried to get them to color the eggs with crayons or markers, but they just wanted to dip.

 Bryson was working on a top-secret egg scene.

 We ended up with a bunch of really great eggs including the traditional watermelon, jack 'o lantern, stripes, and rubberband masked ones.

Oh, and an egg mob that was shaking down the Easter Bunny.

 Bryson!  

Easter Egg Hunt

Most years we are able to go to an Easter egg hunt that a lady in our ward puts on.  Austin and Kadence had a great time collecting eggs with Hannah's help.

 Austin was making the ducks kiss.

And they got to pet the dog.

There has been an interesting development in Kadence's facial expressions - she can raise one eyebrow.  It's usually looks a little grotesque and really cute at the same time.

 Below is a cuter (and seldom seen) version of the eyebrow lift.

Then on to dying eggs...

I love babies in diapers

I know, I know, they're hardly babies anymore.  But I couldn't resist snapping a picture of them playing in the sink (a favorite past time).
