Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Everyone! We had a wonderful time at Church today listening to all the testimonies. The spirit was so strong and in Sharing time the lesson was so good! She had a Easter Basket full of eggs and inside each egg was a scripture pertaining to Christ's Resurrection and a small item such as a nail or piece of soap. It was so good to be able to listen to that story again and remember why we truly celebrate Easter.

After being spiritually fed we headed out to Kristen's house to have dinner with Nate's whole family. Nate's brother Josh and his wife Ashley were even there. We had turkey, ham, mashed potatos and gravy, stuffing, corn, rolls, salad, raspberry jello, and my favorite strawberry cream cheese cake YUM! Then we headed to Nate's parents house for the big Easter Egg hunt and hung out and talked. The kids had so much fun and got the cutest Easter bag full of fun toys and candy and a book. It's always crazy when we are all there but it's all worth it.

Oh I almost forgot the Easter Bunny did come to our house and hide real eggs and left Jordan a lot of Easter treats! He had so much fun finding those eggs more than the plastic ones. He gets kinda distracted with the plastic ones because they open. We got it all on film and he was seriously so excited. To see that look on his face when we got him out of his crib and all the way down the hall into the living room just with a perma grin was worth all the work it was to dye those eggs! It was a moment I will never forget.
