Easter

This year the week before Easter, we talked to the kids about what Jesus did the last week of his life. We read scriptures about things he did daily, before he was crucified. I think the kids really enjoyed knowing more of the last week of his life, and understanding the importance of the atonement. It surely brought a new perspective into Easter, and I'm grateful for Matt for doing that.

On Friday night, our neighborhood did a flashlight egg hunt for the 12 and older kids. Morgan had a great time and came home with a haul of candy. On Saturday morning, the neighborhood put on an egg hunt for the 0-11 year old kids. They break it down into smaller age groups. Camden was in in the 0-3 group- and he wanted nothing to do with it. He was completely grumpy and just saying "No way! No way!"

Dillon and Logan had a great time though. It takes them about 30 seconds to collect all the eggs they are allotted. Afterwards, there is a breakfast. It is such a fun tradition- one the kids look forward to every year.

We did our own egg hunt for Easter, and our traditional treasure hunt for the Easter baskets as well. We enjoyed going to church- and then having family over for dinner afterwards. It was a great Easter weekend and hte weather was beautiful, too.

Oh how sweet. :)
