Easter Celebrations {April 20}

We had the usual celebrations for Easter – dyed eggs the night before, Easter baskets in the morning, a little egg hunt in the backyard after church, and a yummy dinner (with the missionaries). The boys were pretty excited for Easter to come – they had been talking about it for weeks. We tried to really focus on Christ and what He did for us, and they seemed to at least understand a little bit – the next day, when we were talking about Bennett’s preschool’s baby chick that had died, Ryan said “I know what they did with the baby chick. I think they put it in a tomb”. In our rush to get to 9am church, I didn’t get any pictures of the kids in their cute Easter clothes before church. As seems to always happen, Eliza had a messy diaper during Sacrament Meeting that ended up all over her Easter dress and my white skirt. Lovely. I went home and changed and attempted to salvage our clothes, and we re-created the photo opp the next week by having the kids all wear their Easter clothes again :) A few highlights in pictures:
