Easter

Another great Easter has come and gone. It is odd how Easter used to feel like such a small holiday, but it is really becoming a favorite for me. It has definitely helped as I have worked to make the Savior's atonement and resurrection more central to this holiday. Having little kids who are excited about it all helps a lot too.

We had Easter festivities at my parents' house on Saturday and at Drew's parents' house on Sunday. My Aunt Karen, her husband Cortino, and their little guy Cruz were here this Easter, and it was fun to have the extras!

 He looked so cute in his apron!

 Me helping Ezra dye some eggs. Scary!

 These three little guys loved exploring my parents' property.

 Cute girl with an egg.

 At one point Darcy got a little crazy in the mud!! Kid Heaven!

She was amazingly brave about being washed off in the cold water outside.

 Drew, Cruz, Cortino, and Ezra taking a break from hunting eggs.

 Matty enjoyed his chocolate!

 Nick made Easter a little more exciting by putting a peg through his knee on his motorcycle and getting 25 stitches!

Finding a golden egg!!

 Getting a picture of them together this year was pretty tricky!

We had another egg hunt at Drew's parents' house with his mom's family and his dad's parents, but somehow we didn't get pictures of that. Darcy had so much fun with her cousin Bronson (Unfortunately for him a lot of what was fun for her seemed to be telling him what to do. He was a really good sport.)
