Happy Easter

I hope everyone had a happy Easter!!

I am extremely grateful for and love this time of year! I love seeing all the new life - flowers blooming, trees blossoming, baby animals being born and I can't help but notice what seems like hundreds of ladies with big bellies. :)

I am also glad that we get to celebrate Christ's resurection. I am so grateful for his sacrifice that we may be forgiven of our sins and that we may see our loved ones who have passed on and live with them and Heavenly Father and Jesus forever. What a perfect time for the resurection to happen, in the spring, when its all about new life!

We had a lot of fun this year. I think these type of holidays are always a little bit more fun when you have kids. On Saturday we went to the easter egg hunt/candy dash at Pleasant View Park. They had the park divided out for each age group. For the 1-3 yr olds they had placed candy on the grass and let the kids run and pick up as many as they could or wanted. We stayed behind the crowd and picked up the candy that they had missed...Brooklyn doesn't eat Laffy Taffy or Tootsie Rolls and Brett and I didn't want them so we figured a few would be just fine and she thought that was great.

After the easter egg hunt we went to breakfast at Moores in Brigham City.

Today was also my brother Chase's birthday so our whole family (most of them) and some of his friends went to dinner then to Speed Street to race go-carts and have cake, which is like a birthday tradition in our family.

(I will post pictures as soon as I get them from my mom.)

Sunday after Brooklyn found her easter basket we went to church then headed to Brett's parents for dinner and an easter egg hunt. Mark had hid 35 eggs and lucky Brooklyn is their only grandchild that lives in Utah so she got to find all of them. We weren't sure if she would be old enough to be interested in finding them, but she did really good and had so much fun.

Jeanie is always really good to put together something spiritual for holidays centered around Christ so we watched a video clip of when he went and prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. What a great way to remember all that Christ endured for us!

I guess thats all for now. Hope you have a great day!
