We started out our Easter festivities with an Easter Egg Hunt with the Moss cousins who live in town. We did this over a week before Easter just because of peoples schedules, but Brooklyn sure didn't mind. The kids had a lot of fun running around the backyard, the weather was absolutely perfect. After the hunt we all came inside for a bunch of yummy desserts. The cousins all had a blast playing together and of course Brooklyn was super sad when everyone had to leave.
On Easter Sunday McKay was sick and Craig had meetings before church so we didn't get any family pictures. Brooklyn had a lot of fun finding her Easter basket in the morning and McKay seemed to be more interested in Brooklyn's basket then the cars in his own basket. Church was great. I always love the messages about the Resurrection and our Savior. The music is always fantastic as well. It was fun teaching Brooklyn about the real meaning of the holiday. She is at the age that she could start to understand what Jesus really did for us.
That evening we went to my parents house for dinner and the kids had another Easter egg hunt. Brooklyn came home with way too much candy, don't tell her but I threw away about half of it, mainly so that I didn't eat it all. I am grateful for the opportunity that we have to celebrate our Savior and that he died for us so that we can live again.
