Easter 2011

Easter is such a wonderful time to celebrate.  This year was no exception.  We participated in a ward Easter  Egg activity on Friday that provided not only great company, food, fun, but also a great reminder on the REALLY meaning of Easter.  Saturday we took advantage of the Scott & White employee egg hunt.  Crazy (slightly resembled a battle scene) but fun activites for the kids to participate in.  Sunday we were able to do our own family thing in the morning and then drive down to Austin to enjoy Sunday dinner with my Aunt and Uncle...and get my MOM!   It started her week long trip and week of birthdays and celebrations.






It was fun celebrating but it was also very important that we remembered the real reason behind it all.  It was great to teach the kids, talk about, and watch videos about our Savior.  To remind ourselves how grateful and blessed we are to have a Heavenly Father who loves us and sent his Son.  Happy Easter.

Oh I love it! I think my kids had the exact same toys in their Easter baskets--I love Target dollar bins!

Your mom is so beautiful, she looks just the same!!!
