Easter Sunday

Usually we celebrate the Easter Bunny on Saturday morning and let Sunday be the day we focus on the Atonement and true meaning of Easter. Unfortunately, Keith had a rock climbing class that put a halt to those plans. Instead the kids received their Easter baskets before church (thank you for our 11 o'clock starting time) and we presented our gifts to the kids after we came home. The Easter Bunny was very nice this year. Rachael and Dustin both got new helmets so they can start riding their bikes to school and Claire and Hillary got fun golf and bowling games. Keith and I gave all the kids a framed picture of Christ (thanks to Janette for the idea) which they all seemed to really like, plus a Book of Mormon game. I know it's a lot of pictures below, but I wanted you all to see how cute my children looked going to church in their new clothes!Also, Dustin gave a talk in Primary and did such and excellent job. He went up to the podium all by himself and without any help gave a wonderful talk which he helped write!

We spent Sunday afternoon outside blowing bubbles (another Easter Bunny gift) and then headed out to eat dinner with my family. There's nothing like the first grilled hamburger of the year along with tons of yummy food! It's always fun to get together and catch up with my brothers and sisters and their families. We don't get together nearly as often as we should.Just one last pic of my 5 favorite people in the whole world!
