Easter

We had a great Easter this year.  We were finally home for once which was very nice.  We went over to our good friend's house on Saturday night for dinner with friends, swimming and the kids got to have a easter egg hunt.  They loved waiting for the eggs to be hidden and then loved searching for the eggs.  Jake loved looking for orange eggs.  The kids loved it so much that the hunt was over in about 7 minutes :-)

This is Jakey's smile these days.  I tell him to smile and this is what I get.  Hi Pirate, nice to meet you!

On Sunday, the kids woke up to their baskets.  Jake loved looking to see what was in each egg.  No matter what was in the egg, was a wonderful surprise to him.  Then we went to church and had a nice church meeting.  Talks, music and lessons were all so good!  Another reason the day was so nice was because Chris didn't have any church meetings, he was home all day!

After church I tried to get a picture of the kids in their Easter outfits.  This was the best I could do!  My little Graham usually is so good to smile for the camera, but not this day... that little stinker!

Then I cooked dinner.  We had honey baked ham, scalloped potatoes, broccoli and homemade rolls shaped like bunnies.  The kids LOVED the ham and the rolls... but why won't they, Honey baked hams are the best and cute rolls :-)

Later that night, we watched the church videos about the resurrection of Christ.  The kids love these new bible videos and so do Chris and I.  The kids always watch them quietly and with interest.  Hannah always has tons of questions and I love being able to teach her the important things of the gospel.  The kids loved the part where the soldiers are scared by the angels at the tomb.  They like that the soldiers look dizzy.  We had to watch that video a few times :-)

It was a very pleasant holiday celebrating the greatest event in history.. the resurrection of our Savior!  I wish every day were like this!
