Easter!

Easter was pretty low key this year. We kept it contained to our ward's Easter Egg Hunt and big potluck brunch, a big Easter dinner with family and friends, and Easter baskets a few days later.

Wait, that doesn't sound low key at all!

At our church's egg hunt, where they had 700 eggs hidden for like 30 kids. The women who run our primary are amazing.

Baskets were (of course) forgotten in our rush to get there on time, so we had this lovely number instead.

Tyler and Evelyn reveling in their loot.

Big news: Jamie let Grandma hold her for a half hour. And she smiled for most of it! Anyone who has gone through separation anxiety with a nine month old knows that this was an Easter miracle.

Tyler and Jamie were supposed to be posing for Easter picture. I guess handfuls of candy and eating the flowers work, too!

We had a pretty fantastic Easter program on Sunday. Normally, I don't seem to hear much of the speakers because I'm in and out with Jamie and Tyler, but I got to hear all of the youth speaker's talk, which was one of the sweetest talks I've ever heard. I don't even know this girl's name, but her love for the Savior just beamed out of her as she spoke about his death and resurrection. Her emotions more than anything reminded me what Easter is all about: Christ overcame death. And because of what he has done for us, everyone can too. All of our loved ones who have died will live again because of the atonement. Thank you, girl, for reminding me!

Happy Easter, everyone!

What the snow?

Alright, Utah. Is it April or is it Christmas?

This is what we woke up to this morning:

We did an Easter Egg hunt the morning after Easter with the other kids in our 4-plex. Better late than never, right?

Anyone who knows Tyler knows he loves putting things in baskets, and also balls. Well, he kept calling the eggs "balls," and loved collecting them in his basket. Of course, he also loved throwing them. Good thing we just dice them up anyways for sandwiches!

Tyler and his best friend, Adam Warren. When we go running in the morning, and they see each other, they just point and yell. Adam actually calls Tyler "Ty-Ty."

Blowing bubbles.

Tyler did not feel the need for a group shot. We had a fabulous Easter, even if it did snow a few days after. Luckily, Tyler and I get to escape it for a few days in California this weekend!
