Easter Pictures

Easter this year was really low key for us. Mostly because I don't want to get in the habit of making every holiday a huge expensive deal. But I also wanted to help my children understand that even though it's fun to get baskets full of candy, Easter is about the Savior and His resurrection. So this year they still got baskets, but they weren't super crazy. Along with a few eggs with jelly beans inside, they got some gum and a coloring book inside a pail and shovel that we'll use when we go to the coast this year.  I also bought Disney Apples to Apples because Olivia has a mild obsession with that game.

Just as a warning, Madelynn had just got out of the bath when some of these pictures were being taken. She would tell you "I'm naked!" and be loud and proud about it.

We hid the baskets in the living room. It was lame and easy, but the kids liked it.

Totally listening to the MoTab on BYU TV. And there's my naked baby (well, she's wearing a diaper at least)

I don't know why it was so impossible to get a decent picture at church. Jack was squinting like it was so bright outside in every single picture, and Madelynn was just mad that she couldn't go home and eat more chocolate.

Showing off the bows I bought her (here at this website). So stinking cute. And way inexpensive.

For dinner we went to my parents' house. They were out of town for my brother's BYU graduation, so we decided to go the unconventional route and made homemade eggrolls with fried rice and salad. Don't worry, they were delicious. And we had a traditional Easter dinner the next Sunday when they were home with ham, funeral potatoes, homemade rolls, raspberry-pretzel salad and lots more. It was really yummy!

HAPPY EASTER!
