Easter

Easter is always such a fun day! . Easter morning the kids found their baskets which the sneaky bunny hid in their own rooms after they were asleep- that was the last place they looked. Then we got ready and went to Church with Grandma's her church started at 9:30 and is an hour away so we had and early morning. But I love going to Church in the ward I grew up in and seeing so many people who helped build my testimony. Then after Church we had a big dinner at my parents it is getting a little crazy there with 12 grandkids but the kids love seeing all their cousins. Then after that we have a few traditions we do every year. First we drive up to the resevoir and roll our colored eggs down the hill. The hill was still a little weedy this year so instead of who could roll them the fartherest it turned into who can throw them the farthest. Then after that we head over to pick buttercups these are little yellow flowers that only come out a couple of weeks every year right around Easter. These grow wild so the kids just run through fields to find them. These are the same traditions I did as a child and love that my kids love doing them too.

I felt bad we did not get a photo of Nate in his "yellow" church clothes. Cole got grumpy in Church so Nate came home early and Nate had changed before we could get more pictures.
