We have church from 9 AM 'til noon so we did Easter baskets after church. The kids were plenty excited about finding them and then getting into the candy. We included a gift that they received in the mail from their great-Grandma (Mary's grandmother) in their baskets, they received a small bunny. They also got some candy, a new pair of jammies, and a small packet of pictures of temples for them to look at during church.
One of our Easter traditions is to have a little family meeting where we have a little "testimony meeting" wherein we talk to each other about what feel about Jesus Christ and his gospel. This was very enjoyable and Sarah was very proud of herself as she talked to us about how she knew that Jesus died for us and that he was resurrected. It was also nice to have a set apart family time where Mary and I could share with each other and with our kids (Nathan was in and out of the room) how we feel about Christ and his gospel.
We spent the rest of Sunday afternoon and early evening at a friends house having a nice Easter dinner with Turkey and all the other fixings. It was some good stuff and we enjoyed our time over there.
Here is Sarah after she found her Easter basket... she's pretty excited about it!
Here's Nathan and Sarah in their new jammies with their respective bunnies from their great-Grandmother. This is also a sneak peak at the new-improved Sarah and Jane room that Mary has been working on, which I will post about when she's finished.
We did Easter eggs on Saturday and Sarah enjoyed doing this. We did it while Nathan was napping.
Here is Nathan climbing up on his bed and discovering what this basket is doing and why everyone else is so excited.
He soon discovered what the excitement was about and dove right in!
Here is Sarah again, showing off her Easter basket!
Nathan is still digging in and really enjoying this situation.
