Easter Part II

The Easter holiday for us was really the whole week-end! Saturday morning we attended the ward's Easter brunch where we got to see some friends and do a little chatting. That afternoon we left for Dave's family's home in Kent. On Easter we went to church, came home for our own little Easter basket hide and seek and then off to my mom and dad's. That's where our family picture was taken - they have the most beautiful house! For dinner we went to my Grandma's home where we got to see family and just relax and hang out! It is so wonderful to have both sets of family living so close to us! We're definitely blessed.
We had family home evening last Monday about Easter (yes, a day late - that's me!) When I started on the Easter story, Emma piped in and told the entire thing! I was really impressed that she knew the story! I knew Claire was paying attention, because last night at bedtime she told a story about some bunnies that were unfortunate enough to be eaten by a fox. "But don't worry, mom. Jesus came down and they were alive again." It was so darling!



Wow! The family Easter picture with everyone looking a little whipped! This was taken AFTER church, AFTER baskets, and AFTER lunch! Yikes!

What a beautiful family! Your girls are adorable, and look so good in their pretty Easter dresses. I wish we lived close to both sides of the family, although having Jake's close is always fun. I miss my sisters.
