Easter Sunday

This was a special Easter Sunday. We were all excited about the prospect of not having to get ready for church, rather just enjoy an easy, quiet Conference at home while noshing on jelly beans and Reese's Pieces.

And what made these Conference sessions even more edifying was that they were almost entirely centered on our Savior.

This is the story of our Easter Sunday, 2010-

BEFORE Conference began, the kids woke Casey and I up bright and early to dive into their baskets overflowing with candy, chocolate bunnies, Pez dispensers, swimming suits (the Easter basket tradition) and Zhu Zhu pets!

The 2 older kids got books and bookmarks, scripture highlighters and scripture stickers of Christ. I'm always looking for ways to remind the kids of why we really are celebrating Easter.

The kids all love their new swimsuits. Bring on swim season!

AFTER Conference, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Skidmore's house for lunch and egg hunting.
This guy was SO not invited so we were nice enough to send him to heaven:)

THE HUNT...

Eggs with money are ALWAYS their favorite to find. Sofia found $4.50 that she says she is going to buy a kitty with.

My lunch assignment, the dessert.
Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting for the adults. YUM!

Iced butterfly sugar cookies for the kids. YUM!
