Easter 2014

We had a great Easter weekend together!  Last year, we were in Virginia for Easter, but this year, it was just us together as a little family!  After our announcement on Friday (See previous post), where we dyed eggs while listening to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing Handel's Messiah, we had Davis "open" his Easter gifts from the Easter bunny and go on an "Easter Egg Hunt" on Saturday.  The Easter Egg Hunt consisted of Chris putting the eggs in plain sight, and scattering them all over the floor.  Davis thought it was super fun to pick up all the "balls" and listen to the sound that they made when he shook them.

Then, he discovered that the balls opened and had smaller balls inside.  He was not sure what to do with these balls:

But his toys were great.

 And Daddy got a Buff, which he thinks is the coolest thing ever.

Then, on Sunday, we all had our new Easter outfits on (OK, Chris didn't have an Easter outfit.  But Mommy and Davis did):

And of course, we ended the festivities with a ton of food served on our fancy china:

We are SO THANKFUL for the life and Atonement of the Savior Jesus Christ, and really don't know what we would do in this life without the knowledge of Him.  We are grateful for him and for his everlasting love, and everlasting Atonement, and that we can be better through him.  We love this time of year, and that we can spend Easter weekend to reflect on Him.
