EASTER!!!

Even with all the rain we had a fun Easter. We started out the holiday by attending our neighborhood annual Easter egg hunt. I'm learning that Jake has not inherited my competitive nature. All of the other kids were running as fast as they could to get as many eggs as possible, while Jake was taking his sweet time carefully picking up each egg so his hand wouldn't get too wet from the grass. Silly kid! Doesn't he know that there's candy inside!!! He actually did much better at our family Easter egg hunt. We decided to hide the eggs inside and he seemed a lot more excited to get them.

I was so glad that the weather was a nicer on Sunday! We were able to tell the Easter story and spend time together as a family. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to remember the sacrifice that the Savior made so that we can be together as a family forever!











We finally got a good one!!!




Jake decided to see how much candy he could cram into his mouth at one time!!






She looked so cute in her Easter dress! I should have bought it a bigger size. It was almost too small for her!


Jake wearing his new Easter tie. So handsome!

So cute!!!! Looks like you had a fun Easter! Easter egg hunts and kids are so funny. Stephen freaked out with all the kids running past him, and stayed standing frozen while Skyler took time to study each egg he picked up, like nothing else in the world was going on around him.

You look beautiful in these pictures Erin! You won't believe that BrynLee's had the exact same Easter dress as Ellie. Ha! Too bad she had a blow out and nastied the dress up before I could even get one picture of her in it :(
