Easter 2014

Happy Easter!! This was a wonderful Easter.  We spent time talking about the Savior with the kiddos periodically throughout the week so they understood what Easter is really about. I am so grateful for my amazing husband, who truly is amazing at everything he does.  I am also so blessed for our four little angels who make our lives worth every minute. I love them to pieces and have been excited all week to share Easter memories with them.  

We spent time decorating eggs at preschool and also painting eggs with Q-tips.  Saturday we spent all day in Kendallville with cousins and family.  They prepared a massive egg hunt outside in the beautiful weather for the kids.  Each kid searched for 10 eggs of a particular color.  After all 10 were found, they could search for the special big black egg that held a prized $5 bill.  Cooper searched for orange eggs, jaxton searched for yellow, kaylee for hot pink, and Dawson looked for the metallic eggs with Dad's help.  Jaxton was the lucky finder of the prized money egg!!

Easter morning we gathered for breakfast in the kitchen.  We watched the sun rise as we ate breakfast and taught about the symbolism of the sun rising, and the Savior rising, and what that means for us.  Then the kids discovered Easter baskets on the front porch filled with new Easter dress clothes and journals.  All their clothes matched with a baby blue theme.  They really enjoyed the journals.  The boys were going through the writing prompts and were writing the sweetest sentences.  Kaylee spent much of church drawing in her picture journal.  It was a wonderful day spent together as a family:)
