Easter Weekend

We are still coming out of our sugar comas from this past Easter weekend.  We did lots and lots of fun stuff this week, and we enjoyed it all! I just love having kids. 

We did all our fun stuff on Friday and Saturday, which was nice because Jonathan could be there and so that Sunday was focused on Church.

The Easter egg hunt in our back yard.

 Then we dyed eggs.

For the first time ever, the Easter bunny hid the girls' baskets and they got to find them. They thought that was so fun. And there baskets were pretty great, if I do say so myself. :) Good thing that Easter bunny likes yard sales. 

Then we went to Grandma Trish's house for another egg hunt, dyed more eggs, ate more candy, had a wonderful meal, and had more fun!

 Jonathan's brother, Jeremy, his wife, Sarah, and their kids Elizabeth and Andrew. It is so great that the cousins are so close in age. They love being together.

And Aunt Tami came too. 

What a great weekend. And after church on Sunday, Grandma Trish and Aunt Tami came over to have a little Easter dinner with us. Jonathan was at work but it was fun with just "us girls." During dinner, Janie said, "Jesus died, but he came alive. It's call resurrection." That was a happy, proud moment for me! We had been trying to teach the girls all week that Easter really wasn't about the Easter bunny, it was about Jesus. It didn't seem like they got it. But between home and church, they did! I am so grateful for our Savior. He is risen, and that means everything.
